Jalisco prohibits narcocorridos in Alfredo Olivas shows

A scare without consequences

Luis de Alba worried his followers by appearing on social networks with his face covered in bruises. The comedian, famous for his character ‘el Pirruris’, shared a video from the hospital after a fall at home.

In the TikTok recording, De Alba showed the bruises on his forehead, eyes and cheekbones. He was taken to the hospital by his relatives after the incident.

“Hello, hahaha. What did they say? Is that… Ricky Martin? Not at all, I’m ‘Pirruration,'” he said.

Despite the alarming appearance, the actor clarified that there were no serious injuries. “I had an accident… fortunately, nothing happened to me other than bruises,” he explained.

He also denied the rumors that were circulating about his critical condition. “They were even killing me, ‘it’s very serious’, it’s not true, I’m perfect,” he said.

With his characteristic humor, he joked about changing his stage name to ‘the Atomic Raccoon’ to take advantage of the bruises. “Ready to be with you for a long time, telling you jokes,” he concluded.

Clive Davis, the lawyer turned one of the most influential executives in music, died at the age of 94 in his Manhattan apartment. His family confirmed the news. Weeks before he had been hospitalized for a respiratory problem.

“To the world, our father was the iconic music legend whose vision, instincts and tireless pursuit of excellence shaped the soundtrack of countless lives,” his publicist Aliza Rabinoff said in a family statement.

The eye for talent

Davis launched or resurrected the careers of superstars such as Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, Carlos Santana and Alicia Keys. He signed Houston as a teenager and turned her into the princess of pop. He also launched Keys and conceived Santana’s eight-time Grammy-winning album Supernatural. He got Rod Stewart to go from rock to the standards of the Great American Songbook.

Artists like Carlos Santana called him “visionary.” Michael Bublé said that he “believed in people and their dreams.” Patti Smith thanked him for half a century of “love and support.”

Born on April 4, 1932 in Brooklyn, the son of an electrician, he studied at New York University and Harvard Law. He joined Columbia Records as a lawyer and in 1967 he was president. He took a chance on black artists, signing to Philadelphia International Records in 1971.

In his later years he managed the careers of Barry Manilow, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson. He is survived by his four children, eight grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, his cousin and his partner.

40 years after the Mexico 86 World Cup, the music that accompanied the sporting event is still alive in vinyl and memories. Some of those songs, today considered rarities, sell for more than a thousand pesos on social networks. Fortunately, YouTube allows you to relive them.

The melodies that gave rhythm to the World Cup

The organization called a contest to choose the official theme. Grupo Copal won with “Bienvenidos,” a fusion of pop and folklore that promoted fraternity. The letter said:

“The door is open, the soul is ready”

There was an English version performed by Joe Hood, who never recorded again.

The Chilean Juan Carlos Abara composed “México 86”. The phrase “the world united by a ball” became emblematic. Emilio Azcárraga rejected the first version due to lack of emotion, necessary after the 1985 earthquake. Abara then wrote:

“My land that is dressed in history and tradition, offers its proud heart to those who love it”

The Pique mascot, a jalapeño pepper with a hat, had its own theme. The children repeated:

“The goal is the joy of the 86 World Cup, confidence in sport that is my Mexico”

The 45 rpm record was sold in newsstands as Disco Poster.

“Siquitibum (To the rhythm of the World Cup)” by Nacho Golacho took advantage of the popular support. The song included a young woman named Mar Castro, who cut out her shirt and it went viral. Nacho Golacho offered shows in various parts of Mexico City.

Finally, “Adelante México” was performed by players of the Mexican National Team. Among them, Javier Aguirre, Javier Hernández (father of Chicharito), Carlos Hermosillo, Miguel España, Tomás Boy and Fernando Quirarte. The song said:

“The tricolor team has a lot of heart and they will show it on the field”

It is said that only Carlos de los Cobos tuned. After beating Bulgaria in the round of 16, Televisa released a promotional video. The album included “The Green Wave” on its B side, also sung by the team.
