Amemonos

Lyrics

Buscaba mi alma con afán tu alma,
Buscaba yo la vírgen que a mi frente
Tocara con sus labios dulcemente
En el febril insomnio de mi amor.

Buscaba yo la mujer pálida y bella,
Que en sueños me visita desde niño,
Para partir con ella mi cariño,
Para partir con ella mi dolor.

Como en la sacra soledad del templo
Sin ver a Dios se siente su presencia
Yo presentí en el mundo tu existencia
Y como a Dios sin verte te adoré.

Amémonos mi bien en este mundo
Donde lágrimas tantas se derraman;
Las que vierten, quizas los que se aman
Tienen un no se qué de bendición.

Amar es empapar el pensamiento
En la fragancia del edén perdido;
Amar, amar es llevar herido
Con un dardo celeste el corazón;

Es tocar los dinteles de la gloria,
Es ver tus ojos, es escuchar tu acento,
Es en el alma llevar el firmamento
Y es morir a tus pies de adoración.

She also recorded songbook tributes to Jiménez and Juan Gabriel, and was saluted herself by Gabriel for his 1996 Las Tres Señoras (with Lola Beltran and Amalia Mendoza).

Lucho Gatica
Lucho Gatica was born in Rancagua in 1928. He and his brother Arturo were struggling singers before they released their first album, in 1949, when Gatica was twenty one years old.

Chileans generally experienced a change in music taste during the 1950s, when bolero music overtook tango as Chileans' preferred music genre for some time. Singers like Cuba's Olga Guillot, and Mexicans Leo Marini and Elvira Rios, among others, were very popular during that time there. So were Xavier Cugat and his orchestra, which included Puerto Rican Bobby Capo. These singers would influence Gatica.

Gatica's first disc, 1951's Me Importas Tu (You Matter to Me) became a mega hit across Latin America, opening many doors for Gatica. He followed that with 1952s Contigo en la Distancia.

Gatica recorded his version of Consuelo Velázquez's Bésame Mucho in 1953, year in which he produced two more albums, Las Muchachas de la Plaza España (The Girls from the Spain Square) and Sinceridad (Sincerity).

Group(s)

Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan
El Mariachi Vargas se fundó en 1898, en el pueblo de Tecalitlán, al sur del estado de Jalisco. Los pilares del grupo fueron el líder Gaspar Vargas y Manuel Mendoza, acompañados por dos violines. En diciembre de 1934, viajaron a la capital de México para presentarse en la ceremonia de toma de posesión de el presidente Lázaro Cárdenas, quien posteriormente recomendó que fueran contratados por la Jefatura de Policía de la Ciudad de México, como Mariachi oficial.

En 1937, el Mariachi Vargas apareció en "Así es mi Tierra", la primera de sus casi doscientas películas. Ese mismo año grabaron sus primeros discos fonográficos. A éste siguieron álbumes monumentales de pasodobles, valses, bailables, polkas, danzones y semiclásicas -cada uno redefiniendo el estado del arte de la música de mariachi. La muerte en 1973 del más grande canta-autor de la música ranchera, José Alfredo Jiménez, marcóel fin de una era; sin embargo la música de mariachi siguió evolucionando, con el Mariachi Vargas al frente. A mediados de los setenta, el Vargas acompañó al cantante y compositor Juan Gabriel en sus primeras grabaciones, introduciendo una nueva y significativa forma de expresión en la música de mariachi. en 1976, Pepe Martínez asumió la dirección musical del Mariachi Vargas, un puesto que conserva hasta hoy día. Con el Vargas, Martínez transformo muchos de los primeros arreglos que había grabado con otros mariachis en verdaderas obras maestras como Popurrí de los Gallos y El Cascabel. Inspirándose en su propia versión de El Cascabel, Martínez extendió aún más las fronteras de la música del mariachi con Violín Huapango, un muestrario de ritmos y efectos novedosos que destaca a cada músico del grupo como solista.

La primera Conferencia Internacional del Mariachi que se llevó a cabo en San Antonio, Texas -con la actuación estelar de Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán- dio luz a un movimiento que nadie se imaginaba tendría tanto éxito. Desde entonces los festivales y conferencias de mariachi van en aumento en E.U., con el Vargas siempre como su más prestigiosa estrella. Ahora que el Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán inicia la celebración de su centenario, aún no hay grupo que pueda retar su fama. Al acercarnos al siglo XXI, esperamos otros cien años más de El Mejor Mariachi del Mundo.
