Jos Jos es uno de los m ximos exponentes de la balada latina que trata del amor inalcanzable, la ruptura inesperada, la soledad fortuita, y la a oranza inextinguible. Y es que, para los amantes del pr ncipe de la canci n, el mal de amores se trata con una dosis de su inigualable voz de bar tono.
La historia de Jos Sosa como artista comienza con uno de los momentos m s emotivos de la televisi n latinoamericana: el festival Mundial de la canci n latina de 1970. Ah , rodeado de las promesas art sticas de su generaci n, despedaz los corazones de jueces y p blico con la sorpresiva interpretaci n de El Triste. Al finalizar, el p blico le dedic una ovaci n de pie de lo m s genuina que le vali el segundo lugar y un inminente reconocimiento en la industria.
Durante su carrera, Jos Jos lanz un impresionante repertorio, formando una herencia que no tiene otro destino m s que prevalecer. Aqu presentamos 10 tracks obligatorios para adentrarse en su legado, presentados en palabras del artista:
El Triste (1970) Escrita por Roberto Cantoral, este tema consolid a Jos Jos como cantante de romance, convirti ndolo en un cono cultural en M xico. Tambi n es el t tulo de su tercer lbum de estudio. Esta fue una sorpresa para l, quien siempre dijo que las canciones llegan a ti cuando menos lo esperas.
Es la canci n con la que represent a M xico en el Festival Mundial de la Canci n Latina de 1970 y es, en mi mente y mi coraz n, uno de los recuerdos m s grandes .
El Amar y el Querer (1977) Un xito universal que confronta la realidad del amor y sus tonalidades. La interpretaci n que Jos Jos hace de esta extraordinaria letra de Manuel Alejandro es hasta ahora insuperable, llena de sutileza y significado. Forma parte del onceavo lbum de estudio, Reencuentro'.
Creo que es la primera canci n que grab sin hablarle intr nsecamente a las parejas. Habla del amor en abstracto. Fue la primera canci n que grab de Manuel Alejandro .
Gavil n o Paloma (1985) Un tema singular de Rafael P rez Botija lleg a manos de Jos Jos despu s de ya ser un xito en Espa a y repunt en M xico al ser el tema principal de la pel cula del mismo nombre donde el cantante se interpret a s mismo alcanzando la fama y cayendo en excesos.
Contaba con la dimensi n que necesitaba para continuar mi carrera al nivel que mi p blico esperaba .
Almohada (1978) Esta pieza la escribi el compositor Ad n Torres, quien busc a Jos Jos en su hotel de Nicaragua para ofrecerle interpretarla. Torres tuvo que grabar la canci n mientras el cantante tomaba una ducha pues se le hac a tarde para su aparici n en televisi n.
Yo siempre tra a una grabadora porque es lo que me permit a recoger m sica en todos lados y me llev el cassette a M xico .
A d as de este encuentro, la revoluci n en Nicaragua estall y poco despu s Jos Jos grab el tema en Londres, el cual se convirti en un xito instant neo.
Lo Dudo (1983) Para su lbum Secretos, que alude al misterio de la vida del cantante, Jos Jos volvi a colaborar con Manuel Alejandro. Lo Dudo , con su ic nica l nea anda y ve que se repite varias veces en el primer y segundo verso, fue uno de los xitos m s importantes del lbum, que fue el m s vendido de su carrera, con cuatro millones de copias.
Si Me Dejas Ahora (1979) Es la canci n que di el nombre a su lbum n mero 15, uno de los m s exitosos de su carrera. Aunque en su momento hubo malentendidos sobre la exclusividad de la canci n, y medios espa oles pensaron que era un plagio, la realidad fue que tres a os antes de que fuera lanzada en Espa a por Camilo Sesto, quien compuso la letra, l mismo se la entreg a Jos Jos para darse a conocer en Madrid.
Vamos a Darnos Tiempo (1981) Una de las mejores canciones sobre adversidad en el amor. Forma parte del lbum Gracias, el n mero 17 de su discograf a y piedra angular en su carrera, ya que cuenta con otras dos de las canciones m s populares y emocionantes de Jos Jos Preso y Me Basta .
Lo Que No Fue No Ser (1978) Fue la canci n que Jos Maria Napole n escribi para Jos Jos , cumpliendo as un sue o del compositor. Este desgarrador tema sobre ruptura describe lo triste e irreversible del momento en que el amor se cansa y pasa factura. Un cl sico para los descorazonados.
La Nave del Olvido (1998) Hay pocas letras tan emblem ticas como espera un poco, un poquito m s . La Nave del Olvido ha sido cantada por varios int rpretes a lo largo de los a os, pero hay algo en la vibrante versi n de Jos Jos que la hace la m s irresistible. Con este xito, Jos Jos lleg al primer puesto en listas de todo Am rica Latina, Rusia y hasta Jap n. Fue escrita por el argentino Memo Infante.
Preso (1981) Esta imponente balada, del tipo de las que te arrollan con emociones, la escribi P rez Botija, quien confes para una entrevista con el diario El Universal, que trabajar con Jos Jos fue una aventura en lo est tico, en lo musical y en lo humano. Y es que nadie como l para transmitir la ansiedad de querer a alguien que no est tan enamorado como t .
Jos Jos ya pas a la historia como un artista nico, es dif cil hacerle justicia, pero su m sica habla por s sola. Escucha estas y otras canciones del pr ncipe de la canci n en This Is Jos Jos , Cancionero Jos Jos , Jos Jos : El Triste, Jos Jos : Enamorado, y Jos Jos : Inspirado.
