Good day dear readers and listeners!
Today I wish to present you a new song… well, old… well new… well, a composition which is old and new at the same time.
In 1973, during the first years of Los Van Van, Cesar composed this song, and it was arranged together with Juan Formell and Changuito.
It is to become one of the band’s most famous compositions.
Now, after 15 years of independent work with his own band, los que son son, pupy is remaking this wonderful composition, with the great vocals and vigorous playing of his band.
It is not the same as the original, but good enough as a standalone.
Disfruten!
What does the band name mean?
The “son” especially confuses me because it basically means “are” (when referring to “them”) so it makes no sense to write it twice.
It’s something like “we are what we are”; it would be logical to write the name like this: los que son, son.
