Cuentame Cosas Tuyas

Description

Few late-'60s Spanish pop songs have reached the status that 'Cuentame cosas tuyas' has earned decades after its original 1969 release. The single, put out by Barcelona label Belter, has become one of the most coveted gems for collectors of '60s sounds. It's also crossed over into the international soul scene, landed on playlists by DJs like Gilles Peterson, and was even covered in the early 2000s by La Costa Brava--proof that this track keeps winning over an increasingly diverse audience. 'Cuentame cosas tuyas' is perfect pop with flawless arrangements--a sure-fire dance-floor killer, right up there with Elia y Elizabeth's 'Alegria' in any imaginary ranking of Spanish-language pop anthems. Although originally from Valencia, Los Ros (formerly Los 4 Ros) built their career in Palma de Mallorca and released nearly twenty singles on Belter. Between 1968 and 1970, their friendly, commercial pop started weaving in bolder elements drawn from soul, funk, and even psychedelia--something you can also hear on the B-side of this very single, featuring the superb 'iYeah!' These are two irresistible tracks that, after years out of print, we're bringing back into circulation with the reissue of this essential record--one that's practically impossible to find in its original pressing.
