Famous Jeanette dedicates an exciting 'Why do you go' to Carlos Saura in his funeral chapel
Lives The return of Jeanette, 50 years after 'I am a rebel', with the denial of an old rumor
Farewell to Pedro Sánchez, Feijóo, Jeanette... and the Calanda drummers: this was the last farewell to Carlos Saura
That even
Juliette Binoche
(58) has finished her speech of thanks for the International Goya by humming "tararararararará, tarará, tarararararararararará", is a small sample of the depth that the song Porque te vas composed by José Luis Perales (78) and sung by Jeanette (71) has had a transgenerational level.
During the tribute that the great gala of Spanish cinema paid to Carlos Saura last Saturday when receiving the Cabezón de Honor -he died the day before at the age of 91- the Academy
made a serious mistake seasoned with contempt, offense and forgetfulness
towards the Hispanic singer -british.
Yes, she's still alive.
And her voice is the same as always.
Velvety, sweet, close.
In her place, the Mexican Natalia Lafourcade
(38)
appeared on stage doing a
version of this classic
"with which Carlos had fallen in love since he told me that he was going to put it in his next film. The song is from 1974 and
Cría cuervos
is of 1976", he affirms emphatically in conversation with LOC.
In a leisurely tone, he confesses to the person who writes these lines that
"the Academy has done a bitch to Carlos, Perales and me.
There is no explanation why nobody called me to go. It was a brutal mistake.
Can anyone imagine that
My Heart Will Go On
from
Titanic
, sung by
Celine Dion, would it have been performed by someone else on stage at an Oscars? This would never have happened."
The gold record obtained by this song is hung on one of its walls, which is also the anthem of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and San Lorenzo of Argentina.
"But if in all my
shows
I start them and end them with
Because you go
!
It is a song known throughout the world."
He makes it clear that he has nothing against Natalia,
"since the poor thing has been hired and she's already there, as they could have done with someone else
. But we have to defend what's ours!"
Natalia Lafourcade singing at the GoyaGTRES
She humbly confesses that she is not a cinephile, but this time she wanted to watch the XXXVII Goya Awards Gala on television due to the tribute paid to Carlos Saura.
"The wonderful, wonderful family, the letter that Lali, his widow, read was very tender.
During the entire ovation that lasted a long time, I was crying like a coke and, suddenly, they began to post images of
Cría cuervos
, more than any other
During the images I realize that they play very strange background music, I didn't understand it,
and when you see Ana Torrent who is going to put the needle on the record for the song to play, it cuts
off
. How they have cut right here!
she exclaimed at that moment- and when I saw the Mexican singer leave I was stunned, my tears dried up.
I couldn't believe it." And she points out:
"They should have even called me to apologize."
Despite the fact that in the cinema women are scrupulously analyzed based on (irrational) age issues, the same is not the case in music since "I have never
had any type of impediment, they have respected,
helped and supported me. We were not many women , there were Mari Trini, Karina... and I am very grateful for everything they have done for me".
Undoubtedly, another of her emblematic songs is
Soy rebelde
(1971), composed by another of the greats, Manuel Alejandro (90).
Over time, he admits that "the lyrics are very innocent, but they had forbidden me to sing it to anyone under sixteen at that time. Perhaps the
youth saw it as a protest song and they didn't like that.
Compared to what is heard today, it is a theme It's very white."
The Spanish-British singer, JeanetteGTRES
Regarding the culture of cancellation, he has a firm opinion:
"They look at everything with a magnifying glass, we are closely watched and we have gone backwards.
There was much more freedom before. I find
Sleeping Beauty
ridiculous
because the prince kissed her without their consent
, but currently the lyrics of many reggaeton songs are very strong."
From the comfort of her home in Madrid, the singer confesses that last August
the great love of her life, László Kristof
, with whom she has been since 1970, passed away. "He has been an exemplary husband.
In his entire life he has not looked at any another woman, nothing more than me.
Many times his friends told him that he was lucky to be married to Jeanette," he says between laughs.
Despite the pain
"because I have learned to live alone"
, Jeanette admits that "I am enjoying being single because I do not call myself a widow".
As a result of the marriage
, Blythe, their only daughter,
was born, who has made her a grandmother three times, as she tells us: "My three grandchildren are beautiful. The eldest is now independent, works and lives with his girlfriend.
Keep in mind that the The first time I was a grandmother I was 47 years old
.
And she was also a very young mother, at 19.
Jeanette is still adored across seas and oceans.
Last year she triumphed with the GranDiosas tour together with
María Conchita Alonso, Dulce and Karina,
although at other times
Ángela Carrasco, María del Sol or Alicia Villarreal have been there.
There is rope for a while.
Jeanette has lived a glorious stage and she knows it.
Some of the people who did the choirs for her have come to succeed after her, such as Rosendo or Silvia Pérez Cruz.
