El cantor de
México, or a Basque man in Paris.
There is no transcendental purpose in this operetta, nor is there
any hidden sublime message in this story of travel which looks for
exotic destinations on both sides of the Atlantic, in comings and
goings with bright reflections of the great music-hall tradition of
Spain and Paris, operetta and the Broadway musical. The orchestra
is transformed into a mambo, jazz or Charleston band; playing
mariachi music, boleros, swing or mambo.El cantor de México is a
simple story that moves in a straight line thorough each of the 20
scenes, with a plot that is always illuminated and without
ambiguities where each number appears to refer to the well-known
verse of the song Mexico: “Thank God for the song which
delivered your heart to the world.”
