...is Borrasca, a bolero composed by Enrique Fabregat Jodar and Mario Molina Montes and performed by Toni Zenet, from his new album La Guapería. Zenet was performing last month in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria as a part of the 2019 Musicando season.
Borrasca tiene el sabor del desamor previsible que vaticinan los tangos, pero no es un tango: es un bolero escrito a cuatro manos por un español (Enrique Fabregat Jodar) y un mexicano (Mario Molina Montes) y cuando el colombiano Nelson Pinedo lo grabó en los años sesenta, después de vivir las noches de La Habana, nadie podría imaginar que encajaría como lo hace entre los boleros clásicos. Ahora Borrasca viene de regreso a uno de los sitios que tienen que ver con su origen y llega de la mano de Zenet quien, con guapería, pero sobre todo, con la seguridad de que ha cantado un temazo, nos dice que no, que Borrasca no es un bolero español, ni mexicano, ni colombiano, sino universal; que no es un bolero vintage, de antes, sino una canción de ahora mismo.
