Lamento borincano

The song Lamento Borincano, as interpreted by Marc Anthony, carries with it a story of musical reunion and a look towards roots. This classic theme, originally by Rafael Hernández, is added to the album Valió la Pena, marking the first time in years that Anthony has worked again with producer Sergio George since 1995, when they released Todo A Su Tiempo together. The album Valió la Pena not only features seven songs from his previous work, Amar Sin Mentiras, but reinterprets them with salsa arrangements, and the inclusion of Lamento Borincano gives it a special touch. The duration of this version is 5:05, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in its rhythm.

This album, Valió la Pena, had a notable performance, reaching the number one spot on the Top Latin Albums charts, something he had already achieved with Amar Sin Mentiras. Furthermore, it was recognized as Best Salsa Album at the 2005 Latin Grammy Awards and as Tropical Album of the Year at the Premio Lo Nuestro awards in the same year. The career of Marc Anthony, whose real name is Marco Antonio Muñiz Ruiz Rivera, born in 1968 in New York, is extensive. He began his recording career exploring hip hop with the duo Little Louie & Marc Anthony, reaching number 1 on the US charts in 1991. Subsequently, under the RMM label, he dedicated himself to salsa, achieving sustained success. His music has crossed borders, reaching Spain where he obtained gold records. His international projection was consolidated when he was chosen by Paul Simon to star in his play The Capeman.
