This song was originally composed by Bert in english, and while recording in the studio at Rock House Records in
Greensboro,NC;was asked by Roy Roberts owner and president of the label,Hey man why don`t you do this thing in
spanish, so Bert turned the switch from english to spanish with the headphones still on and came up with the lyrics
right on the spot,so the vocal track was done on one take,
amazing.
All the songs except Quemando El Sol were recorded in Miami
Fl,they were recorded on one take with Bert Lopez playing
the frettless Gibson Ripper Bass and singing the lead vocal,
Manny Gonzalez rhythn guitar and Oscar Salas on drums,so that was basically done live in the studio,then the percussion and lead guitars were added, so was the second vocal track on https://www.tradebit.com horns, strings and piano recorded at Rock House Records, Greensboro,NC.
