Pasión Española

Music

Emilio Aragón backs the mix of the whole album of coplas, Pasión Española, interpreted by Plácido Domingo, and he is in charge of the orchestration of the songs: Falsa Moneda, Ojos Verdes and ¡No Me Quieras Tanto!

“The copla tells a three or four-minute story, I call it a mini-opera, which tries to reach people deeply through text and music. That story must be felt with passion and must be sung with temperament, with warmth, with sense. In Mexico, I was able to listen to the best performers, and in this recording, I remember with admiration those great art-ists who inspire passion in people.”
Plácido Domingo
