El Guincho releases EP of South American covers
19 July, 2010On 12th July El Guincho officially released an EP of South American covers, entitled Piratas de Sudamerica. The songs, which mainly have salsa roots, come from his childhood listening to his Dad’s record collection. He felt the need to record these songs as he wanted to re-imagine them in a way that his contemporaries would understand, so that they may then be tempted to discover some of the original artists themselves.
The tracklisting is:
1. Hindou (originally by Orefiche y Valdespi)
2. Cuerpo Sin Alma (traditional)
3. Mientes (originally by Miguel Matamoros)
4. Frutas Del Caney (originally by Felix Benjamin Caignet)
5. Marimba (originally by Miguelito Valdés & Norosbaldo Morales)
