Bunbury elige sus diez letras favoritas de canciones en español

En víspera del Día del Libro, jornada en la que por cierto recalará en Zaragoza para firmar ejemplares de su nueva obra, ‘La carta’, Enrique Bunbury ha confeccionado una lista con sus diez letras favoritas de canciones en español. Lo ha hecho a través de una ‘playlist’ en Apple Music.

América Latina copa este ‘top ten’ con ocho de los diez títulos escogidos por el zaragozano. Tan solo dos pertenecen a artistas españoles. Uno es ‘La estatua del jardín botánica’, de Radio Futura, con los hermanos Auserón a la cabeza. La otra es ‘De purísima y oro’ de Joaquín Sabina, una de las joyas que encerraba el disco ’19 días y 500 noches’.

Los tangos conforman otro capítulo importante en los gustos del artista zaragozano. En primer lugar rescata ‘Balada para un loco’, que fue compuesto en 1969 por el músico argentino Astor Piazzolla con letra del poeta uruguayo Horacio Ferrer.

Prosigue con ‘Cambalache’, un tango compuesto en 1934 por Enrique Santos Discépolo, que se estrenó a finales de dicho año en el Teatro Maipo de Buenos Aires, donde lo cantó por primera vez Sofía ‘La Negra’ Bozán. Su arranque es demoledor: “Que el mundo fue y será una porquería, ya lo sé, en el quinientos seis y en el dos mil también; que siempre ha habido chorros, maquiavelos y estafaos, contentos y amargaos, valores y dublé”.

Su amor por Argentina y sus cantores queda plasmada también en su apuesta por Fito Páez y su ‘Abre’ en su disco homónimo de 1999 y por ese himno inmortal que parió Andrés Calamaro con ‘Media verónica’.

La vena mexicana de Bunbury queda reflejada en ‘En el último trago’ del gran José Alfredo Jiménez (un tema mil veces versionado y admirado) y por la contemporánea Natalia Lafourcade con ‘Hasta la raíz’. Esta última intérprete es la más joven de cuantos artistas aparecen en la lista.

El puertorriqueño Héctor Lavoe con su épico ‘El cantante’ (también pasto de las versiones) y el grupo de trova cubana el Trío Matamoros con su ‘Lágrimas negras’ completan la nómina.
