BOMBA ROJA’S CORRAL: MICHAEL SALGADO’S “QUEDEMOS COMO AMIGOS”
⊆ November 18th, 2008 by admin | ˜ No Comments »Vocally, this could be one of the best songs of the year. Well, let’s start at the beginning and break it down. To start off, the first couple of notes are right into the traditional sound of the great mariachi oldies. Awesome. Elida kicks off in the duet. Good start. Michael takes over and it’s a pretty even split with no big umph right at first. But watch out when they hit the chorus about a minute and a half in. Elida starts it off again with vocals reminiscent of her hit “Duele.” This is where i make my point about Elida being a veteran. Not because of her age, not at all…but because of her decades of hits and how established she is in La Onda. And in a song like this, it’s just obvious. She’s not afraid to belt out those notes. It’s free and unrestrained. Now in the second verse, they two switch and Michael starts first in with response of the singer’s admission. And again, Michael does very well, but I have to say Elida knocks it out. It’s Michael’s single, but Elida could easily release it as her own (she could, I guess, they’re both with Freddie Records). I was really pulled in when i heard this song and am sure many of you will love it. And it’ll probably give you goosebumps, like it did me. Check it out on Michael’s new cd “Con Amor O Sin Amor.”
