Thanks to the Ministry of Culture, Alejandro Zarate Espinoza will be able to celebrate, this Saturday, March 12, his 55 years of artistic career at the Gran Teatro de Lima. In a conversation with the leader of Pintura Roja, the musician assured that he is proud that several groups, such as Corazón Serrano, record his songs.
“Many people think that it bothers me (that they record my songs). But no. If they do not have the ability to make songs, compose… well, they take my works, I give them with great affection”, said the Peruvian artist.
According to Alejandro Zárate, more than 100 groups have recorded his songs, among which “La blind”, “Jamás”, “Amor de Verano” and “El Telefono” stand out, a hit that has been heard by millions of people in the world. If he wishes, he could ban others from recording songs, but he prefers that his music continues to be broadcast nationally and internationally.

“Each musical work is like a child of a person. But I would like my music to be known in different parts of Peru and the world (…) and that is done by the large groups that have the best chance of reaching the farthest corners of the country”, says the musician who will share this Saturday stage with Cielo Torres, Mauricio Mesones, ‘La Misky’ María Jesús Rodríguez and Noemí Ávila, the impersonator of Little Princess Mily who was champion in Yo Soy.

Zárate Espinoza assures that there are some covers that he likes, and others not so much. “The one from Corazón Serrano, I’m honest, I don’t like it very much. I like the Aguas de Oro group. It’s the best version they’ve done”.
Zárate, who began his musical career with the Los Dinámicos group in 1967, says that the first time Corazón Serrano recorded the Pintura Roja mix, he did not ask for permission. “At that time it was necessary to apply certain laws in APDAYC (…) Then some laws began to be recomposed in our favor. Not now, anyone can’t record our work, but they have to ask the author for permission”, he clarifies.
