I ka manawa o ka Composer Day ma Mekiko, hoʻomanaʻo mākou (mai kā mākou waihona) i kahi kamaʻilio a kekahi o kā mākou mea hana pū me ka exponent ʻoi loa o ke ʻano aloha i ko mākou ʻāina.
ʻO ka hoʻoilina a me ka mea ukali o ka mele aloha, Armando Manzanero ʻO ia ka mea haku mele Mekiko koʻikoʻi nui i kēia manawa.
Hānau ʻia ma Yucatán kahi mamao loa o Kēkēmapa 1934, i ka makahiki he kanaonokumamālua ona makahiki* Aia ʻo ia i ka piko o kāna ʻoihana: nā huakaʻi, nā ʻahamele, nā kinipōpō, nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, nā lekiō a me nā kīwī, ma Mekiko a me nā ʻāina ʻē, e hoʻomau mau iā ia. ʻO kāna ala e lilo ai, maʻalahi a maʻalahi hoʻi, ua loaʻa iā ia ke aloha a me ke aloha o kāna mau mea āpau.
Me kahi papa inoa o nā mele a ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻehā haneli i hoʻopaʻa ʻia - ka mea mua i kākau ʻia ma 1950, i ka makahiki he ʻumikūmālima - haʻaheo ʻo Armando ma kahi o 50 hits honua, nona ka ʻumi a ʻumikūmālua paha i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i nā ʻōlelo like ʻole, e like me Kina, Kōlea. a ʻo Kepanī. Ua hāʻawi aku ʻo ia i nā hoʻohanohano noʻeau me Bobby Capó, Lucho Gatica, Angélica María, Carlos Lico, Roberto Carlos, José José, Elis Regina, Perry Como, Tony Bennet, Pedro Vargas, Luis Miguel, Marco Antonio Muñiz, Oiga Guillot a me Luis Demetrio, i waena o nā mea he nui kekahi.
No nā makahiki he ʻumikūmālima ua alakaʻi ʻo ia a hiki i kēia lā hope pelekikena o ka National Association of Author and Composers, a ʻo kāna hana i ka pale ʻana i nā kuleana kope i hoʻoikaika i ka hui a ua loaʻa iā ia ka ʻae kūwaho.
ʻO kāna pā mua "E uē ana au" ukali ʻia e "Me ke alaula", "e pio wau i ke kukui", a laila "hoʻomana wau", "Me he mea lā nehinei", "I kēia ʻauinalā ua ʻike wau i ka ua", "ʻAʻole", " Ua aʻo wau me ʻoe "; "Hoʻomaopopo wau iā ʻoe", "Hoʻowahāwahā ʻoe iaʻu", "ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu e pili ana iā ʻoe", a "ʻAʻohe mea pilikino". Ke hoʻopaʻa nei ʻo ia i kēia manawa i ke mele no ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Alta Tensión.
He mea hoʻopilikia paha ʻoe i ka hoʻomaka?
ʻAe, ʻoiaʻiʻo, e like me nā Yucatecans āpau, ua hoʻoilina wau i ka ʻono a me ka makemake o koʻu makuakāne i ke mele. ʻO koʻu makuakāne hoʻopilikia o ka iwi ʻulaʻula a ua kākoʻo ʻo ia iā mākou, me ia i hānai iā mākou. He mea hoʻopilikia nui ʻo ia a he kanaka maikaʻi loa.
Ua aʻo wau e pāʻani i ke kika e like me nā poʻe āpau ma Mérida. Ua hoʻomaka wau e aʻo i nā mele mai ka makahiki ʻewalu. Ma ka ʻumikūmālua ua lālau wau i ka piano, a mai ka ʻumikūmālima mau makahiki e ola piha wau i ke mele. Hīmeni wale wau, ola wau no ke mele, ʻoiai ke ola nei wau mai ia mea!
Ua hoʻomaka wau i ke kākau ʻana i nā mele ma 1950 a hana ma ke ʻano piano ma nā hale kalapu. I koʻu makahiki he iwakālua ua hele wau e noho i Mekiko a hele pū me Luis Demetrio, Carmela Rey a me Rafael Vázquez ma ka piano. ʻO ia ʻo Luis Demetrio, koʻu hoaaloha a me koʻu hoa makaʻāinana, nāna i aʻo mai iaʻu ʻaʻole e haku mele e like me kaʻu i hana ai ma Yucatán, pono wau e hana me ka manuahi, me ke kolohe hou aʻe, e haʻi wau i kahi moʻolelo manaʻo nui aʻe, kahi anecograpo aloha.
He aha kou kūleʻa nui mua?
"Ke uē nei au", i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e Bobby Capó, ka mea kākau o Pokika Rican o "Piel canela". A laila hele mai ʻo Lucho Gatica me "e hoʻopau wau i ke kukui", i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka makahiki 1958, a laila ʻo Angélica María, nāna i kī mai iaʻu ma ke ʻano he haku mele no nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ʻoiai kona makuahine, ʻo Angélica Ortiz, kahi mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni. Ma laila ʻo ia e hoʻomaka ai e hīmeni i nā uhi kaulana i ʻike ʻia: "Eddy, Eddy", "Say goodbye" a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
Ma hope hele mai ʻo Carlos Lico me "Adoro", me "No", a laila wehe ka, ua ikaika, ma ka pae pae ʻāina. I ka pae honua, ua lōʻihi ia, ma Brazil hoʻi.
ʻO ka manawa mua a lākou i hoʻopaʻa ai iaʻu i kahi ʻōlelo ʻē aʻe ma Brazil, ma 1959, ka Trío Esperanza, kapa ʻia ke mele ʻo "Con la aurora", e nānā wale nō! Ua kākau ʻo Roberto Carlos "Hoʻomaopopo wau iā ʻoe", a me Elis Regina ka kūleʻa nui loa ma Pokukala, "Haalele ʻoe iaʻu." ʻIke i ka mele hope āna i hoʻopaʻa ai. Ua hōʻea au i ka Pōʻalima e hui me ia i ka Pōʻakahi aʻe a hoʻomau i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana a make ʻo ia i kēlā hopena pule.
Pehea ʻoe e ʻike ai i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ke mele aloha?
ʻO ia ka nīnau mua a lākou e nīnau mau ai iaʻu. ʻO ka mele aloha pono ia, ʻo ia ka mea pāʻani loa a mele ʻia. ʻOiai aia ka makemake e paʻa i ka lima o ka mea i aloha ʻia a hōʻike i ko mākou aloha, e hoʻomau ia e noho, e noho mau. E piʻi a piʻi paha i lalo, akā e mau nō ia. He kuʻuna maikaʻi ko ka poʻe Mekiko i nā mea unuhi a me nā haku mele o nā mele aloha. He mele mau ia. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka papa mele mele Mekiko ka lua o ka mea nui i ka honua ma muli o ka nui o nā mele e hoʻolilo ʻia.
He aha ka hana a nā muses?
He mea nui nā muses, akā ʻaʻole ia he mea nui, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia. He mea nui loa e haʻi i kekahi mea i kekahi no ka mea aia kahi pono e kamaʻilio. Inā he muse maikaʻi, nani wale! Nani nō ke mele i kekahi: "Me ʻoe wau i aʻo ai." He ʻoiaʻiʻo nō ia, ua aʻo wau e ola, ʻaʻole no ka mea he aloha nui koʻu, kahi huhū o ke aloha, akā no ka mea aia kekahi mea i aʻo iaʻu e hiki iaʻu ke ola maikaʻi e like me kaʻu hiki.
ʻO kāu wahine kekahi mea pena kiʻi?
ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole hoʻi i hoʻouna ka Puʻupaʻa iā ia! ʻO Tere kaʻu wahine ʻekolu, a ʻaʻole wau e hana hou i kēia i koʻu ola. ʻLelo lākou i ke kolu o ka leʻaleʻa a ua lanakila wau.
