Chanson «Fire in 23».»

This week, we publish the complete transcription of the song «Fuego en el 23», a composition of the legendary Cuban musician Arsenio Rodriguez, inspired by a true story.

A few years later, in 1969, under the direction of maestro Enrique «Quique» Lucca and the arrangement of the great Papo Lucca, they produced the first version of the Sonora Ponceña, published in the album «Fuego en el 23» (Inca Records 1969) with the voices of Luigi Texidor and Tito Gómez.

Twelve years later, it was updated and Sonora Ponceña released a new version on the album «Jubilee» in 1985.

In Piano Salsa, we wanted to record the first version recorded by Sonora Ponceña in homage to one of the greatest pianists in the history of salsa, maestro Papo Lucca.

The video tutorial with the complete song (demo) and a second video with the detailed explanation + the backing track without the piano are available for practice.

You will find it with its PDF and MP3 backing track in the section: REPERTORY of the MOYEN LEVEL and also in our course TOUT REPERTORY.
