\nEse Hombre by La India<\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven’t done a favorite video of the week for awhile because while I may come across many songs I enjoy listening to, I haven’t been enchanted by any of the clips I’ve been watching…until tonight.
\nWhile I admit I’m not a big fan of most current day salsa (my preference is for the 60s\/70s era), I’ve always had immense love and respect for the Nuyorican singer La India<\/a>. Her fierce, raw and powerful singing style blew me away from the first time I heard the song, Ese Hombre<\/em>. Some of you might be familiar with this tune as it is the theme song of many a heartbroken Latina. The hombre who is the cause of all this pain and anger is berated to basically nothing. <\/p>\n

es un gran necio
\nun estupido engreido
\negoista y caprichoso
\nun payaso vanidoso
\ninconciente y presumido
\nfalso malo rencoroso
\nque no tiene corazon<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned especially a woman like La India. Definitely, not the kinda song you want dedicated to yourself.
\nI love this early clip of her and the way she can barely contain her emotions as she sings, she is so amazingly talented!<\/p>\n

\nRunaway-La India (performed in a moving car!)<\/strong>
\nI also came across this other clip of her singing in the car and despite the bad sound and low production quality, her voice is able to command full attention.<\/p>\n

\nI Am the Black Gold of the Sun-Nuyorican Soul (4hero remix)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

La India does contribute some vocals to this musical collaboration but I mostly added it to this post because it’s one of my favorites. See, the 90s weren’t so bad!<\/p>\n

India – Ese Hombre <\/p>\n

ese hombre que tu vez ahi
\nque parece tan galante
\ntan atento y arogante
\nlo conozco como ami<\/p>\n

ese hombre que tu vez ahi
\nque aparente ser divino
\ntan amable y efusivo
\nsolo sabe hacer sufir<\/p>\n

es un gran necio
\nun estupido engreido
\negoista y caprichoso
\nun payaso vanidoso
\ninconciente y presumido
\nfalso malo rencoroso
\nque no tiene corazon<\/p>\n

lleno de celos sin razones ni motivos
\ncomo el viento impetuoso
\npocas vezes carinoso
\ninseguro de si mismo
\ninsoportable como amigo
\ninsufirble como amor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
