A cover/interpretation of one my favorite classic songs from 1970… or any year for that matter. The way the voices of this group blend together reminds me of possibly my favorite group of all time, Crosby, Stills & Nash.
Enjoy Laredo singing El Boxeador.
If you enjoyed El Boxeador, try this one: LAREDO – El Último Guateque (1977). Even if you do not understand the words, it has a nice beat. The song title translates as The Final Party. I do wonder if the gentleman in the middle was going for a Frank Zappa look.
Currently, I am reading a novel in Spanish, Gatos Callejeros by Juan Fernández, set in the period just after the death of the Spanish dictator, Franco. The chapter titles are songs that were popular in Spain during this period. All of the book’s songs can be found on YouTube. It has been interesting delving into another culture from another time.
