The story behind
Voy a apagar la luz; Contigo aprendí, according to DoReSol
When you immerse yourself in Contigo aprendí, you encounter an interpretation that breathes the warmth of the romantic ballads that marked an era. This piece, along with Voy a apagar la luz, is part of a project that sought to revive Latin music classics, covering a repertoire ranging from 1940 to 1978. The recording took place in early 1997 at Ocean Way studios, located in Los Angeles, California. The arrangement work was handled by Bebu Silvetti, while Armando Manzanero, a key figure in the Romance album series, oversaw the general direction. The album containing these songs, titled Romances, was released on August 12, 1997, and was notable for including twelve versions of well-known songs and two new compositions by Manzanero and Silvetti.
The impact of Romances was considerable, selling over 4.5 million copies and earning platinum certifications in various Latin American countries, as well as in the United States and Spain. To promote this work, Luis Miguel embarked on a tour that covered the United States, Latin America, and Spain. The career of Luis Miguel Gallego Basteri, born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on April 19, 1970, has positioned him as one of the most popular artists in the history of Latin America, with a versatility that ranges from pop and funk to bolero and mariachi. Throughout his career, he has been awarded five Grammy Awards and four Latin Grammy Awards, establishing himself as a recognized figure in the music industry.
