In the family of Emilio Regueira, leader and vocalist of Los Rabanes, the controversy arose about whether or not they should get the coronavirus vaccine. Regueira, who has a sense of humor that sprouts through his pores, took advantage of the song to write “La Vaccine”, the first cut of what will be his next album.
“Mis aunts are very salty women, very Latin, very dancers; my cousins too, “said the Panamanian singer in a recent virtual press conference. “They spoke that one was going to get the vaccine, the other said that she would not, another said that she would and from there we brought up “.
Although the lyrics are totally new, the rhythm of this song is not, since it is about the reversal of” Las locas “, a merengue that the Rosario Brothers became very popular in the eighties.
The video for the song, which had a rather homemade manufacture, includes many of the women who are close to Regueira, who said that He grew up without the presence of men because his mother raised them only.
“I think the 90 Percent of the names that appear here are aunts, cousins, acquaintances of mine “he said.
“The vaccine” is a preview of “Rabanes 25 ”, an album that will be on the market in March and that will also include a new version of“ How I wish you ”, one of the band’s biggest hits of Mexican pop and rock Maná.
With this new album Los Rabanes will celebrate 25 years of trajectory, as well as the life of one of the few Panamanian rock bands that have transcended. To celebrate, the combo invited a diverse group of artists, among them Peruvian folklorist Wendy Sulca, Argentine rockers from Los Pericos, Chilean singer Beto Cuevas and Mexican guitarist César “Vampiro” López.
In fact, several of them joined the conversation from the countries in those who live.
“I bring several projects, and precisely in this wave of meeting with friends from other groups,” said López from Los Angeles, where he has lived for several years. “I bring a group called Combo; is the drummer of La Ley, Mauricio Clavería; Jorge Guevara, who was the singer of Elefante, the bassist of La Ley, David López Chirino and me. ”
The group performs songs from its former or current groups, and said that the The pandemic was responsible for them not going on tour with The Best of Rock in Spanish, a show in which rockers such as Salvador Aguilar –Coda singer–, Kenny and Sergio Arau participated.
For her part, Wendy Sulca, who became famous on social networks with her theme “Beer, beer”, in 2008, when still I was a girl, now it is part of “How I Wish You”, which will be available on all digital platforms on 22 January. His current proposal is a fusion of pop, reggaeton, folk and rock music.
“Today, I am in my new musical stage,” he said from Peru. “I’m doing a lot of interesting fusion […] with Peruvian instruments […] Hopefully when the pandemic ends we can perform these songs live.”
