Oldies from El Salvador
by Daniel Menjívar • #musicLast Wednesday, I had this song from my youth stuck in my head but I could barely remember more than just the first verse, so I decided to look it up on YouTube. When I say “song from my youth,” I mean a song that I grew up listening to as a kid, not that it was popular during my youth… The song is from the mid-70s (or so) and though this song was very popular in El Salvador, the band is actually from Spain.
While searching for that video, I also came across a retro “mix” of more oldies from El Salvador. Hopefully this brings back memories for you:
I know, the video is super cheesy! My taste in music has gotten much more sophisticated over the years, but nevertheless, I’m glad I grew up surrounded by such a diverse myriad of music…
