Bell, Monna – Recuerdos De Ipacarai / Aun Te Sigo Amando (Digital 45) [CD]

Description

One of the greatest voices of all time in Latin American music, Ana Nora Escobar, known artistically as Monna Bell (1938 – 2008), was a Chilean singer and actress. As an actress, she was a key part of the transitional period of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema. As a vocalist, she was known for her ability to sing romantic ballads in a jazz and blues style, a quality rarely seen in Latin artists. In 1959 she was invited to appear at the first edition of the Benidorm International Song Festival in the resort of Benidorm (Alicante, Spain), where she performed with the song ” Un Telegrama,” which won all the awards. Her recording of “Un Telegrama” soon became an international success, both in Europe and Latin America, making Monna Bell one of the greatest selling Latin artists of the time. She later recorded songs such as ” El da de los Enamorados,” “La Montaa” (a favorite of Juan Gabriel), “Silencio Corazn,” “An Te Sigo Amando,” “Envidia” and “Tmbola,” among others, which increased her worldwide fame. She recorded with large orchestras conducted by great conductors such as Augusto Alguer, Gregorio Garca Segura, Bebo Valdez and Ray Conniff. Presented here is Monna’s excellent 1967 single, “Recuerdos de Ipacarai” b/w “Aun Te Sigo Amando” – recorded at the peak of her career with the great Augusto Alguer and his orchestra. This rare, historic single has been newly remastered for this exclusive release.
