Can you imagine listening to the song ‘Ay Mama’ by Rigoberta Bandini for Eurovision in the voices of Dani Martín, Shakira or Amaia Montero? Mario Jefferson has achieved it thanks to the version he has done imitating 11 artists from the music scene. The video that he has shared on his Instagram account has received applause from both industry peers and users who have been surprised by his ability to imitate voices.
The song ‘Ay Mama’, which for many is a feminist anthem, has become a hit. Currently, the proposal for the Song Festival that played at the Benidorm Fest already occupies second place in the most listened to songs on Spotify Spain. The theme of the Catalan already garnered good reviews at its launch for its lyrics that claim the freedom of women’s bodies. Although the numbers show that it is already a national ‘hit’, the information published by RTVE this Wednesday shows that it did not receive public support to represent Spain in Eurovision. 70% of the votes were recorded for ‘Terra’ by the Tanxugueiras, while Rigoberta got 18%.
The former contestant of Operación Triunfo in 2011, Mario Jefferson, has covered ‘Ay Mama’ imitating the voices of 11 artists. Dani Martín, Melendi, Conchita, Leire, Paulina Rubio, Amaia Montero, Amaral, Bebe, Mónica Naranjo, Ángeles Muñoz (Camela) and Shakira are the singers that Mario Jefferson has performed in the cover. With an identical result, users have been able to listen to what it would be like if their favorite singers put their voices for this song.
The verdict on social networks has been unanimous. Twitter and Instagram have been filled with comments praising the artist’s vocal work. Rozalen is one of the singers who wanted to share her fascination with the result: “God of my life.” Luna Ki, who presented herself to the RTVE selection to elect the representative to Eurovision but had to eliminate her candidacy, has also commented on the publication of Mario Jefferson. “I love it”. But not only the music industry has surrendered to the imitation of the artist. Paco León, Javier Ambrossi, Anabel Alonso or Eduardo Casanova are just some of the celebrities who have been impressed with the singer who has already demonstrated his talent for imitation in Your face sounds like me.
