ABELARDO BARROSO Y LA SENSACION - La Hija De Juan Simon

Abelardo Barroso Dargélez (1905-1972) began his artistic career in 1925 as the leading voice of Sexteto Habanero, an outstanding grouping of that period. Later on, he joined the Boloña (harpsichord and prima voice), Nacional and Alabama Sextets. During the 1930s, Barroso joined the Orestes López Orchestra, a well-known danzón group also called Charanga López-Barroso, becoming one of the most popular interpreters at that time. In 1955, he performed as a tumbadora player in the Sans Souci Cabaret Orchestra. On August 23, 1953, Rolando Valdés had created the Orchestra "Sensación" at the Havana neighborhood "Los Sitios", and in 1955 he asked Barroso to record, together with his grouping, some of his old hits; Barroso agreed, starting a successful career as the most renowned soloist in all the most famous orchestras existing at that time. In July that same year, Barroso and the "Sensación" Orchestra reached an overwhelming popularity with their first record, including the songs "La hija de Juan Simón" and "En Guantánamo". During those years, they performed a long list of musical hits, such as "El Panquelero", "Tiene sabor", "El Guajiro de Cunagua", "La Macorina", "Con sabor a bombón" and "Bruca Maniguá." In 1957, Barroso and "La Sensación" reached a boom, becoming the most popular orchestra in musical broadcasting. This Orchestra, as well as the Conjunto Casino, were the only groups which appeared in a TV program on a daily basis. The "Sensación" Orchestra, based on the talent of its instrumentalists and on the excellent sonero voice of Abelardo Barroso, made important international tours to the USA, Venezuela, Canada and Africa. They recorded around twenty long playings for the RCA Victor, four of them became golden records. Barroso is an eternal voice in the Cuban music's history and the "Sensación" Orchestra, a very outstanding group; together, they left a valuable musical legacy from the fabulous fifties to the present times. de los años 50 del siglo pasado trasciende hasta nuestros días.

@adrianion1983 Es verdad es una vieja copla Española, pero el padre de Barroso era español.

De Cuba, ¡uno de los mejores! Mi favorita, "La Hija de Juan Simón".

[adrianion1983]

Soy español y he descubierto el son y la salsa hace poco mas de un año, cuando escuche esta canción pense que barroso tenia que tener padres españoles o algo asi por los giros a copla que tiene la cancion, no podia entender como habia sido capaz de crear algo asi de bueno, luego encontre la original de antonio molina se me aclaro todo, escuchadla y sentid como la musica no tiene fronteras.

Barroso, uno de los grandes soneros. Tiene una manera especial y única de interpretar el SON. Gracias ramoburg por colocar esta Cancion. La Salsa es Musica cubana, sino me creen, escuchen a Celia Cruz cantando: "Bemba Colora". Así canta Celia Cruz: "Enterraron por la tarde, a la hija de Juan Simon. Era Simon en el pueblo, el único enterrador colora..." Pero si ESTO LO CANTO BARROSO muchos anhos atrás!!! y muchos salseros lo desconocen. Saludos de un Peruano, Ayacuchano.
