Rather than singing about love in a loud, dramatic voice, Manzanero whispers of the affection that grows deep within the heart. His music flows like natural conversation, giving the singer ample time to fully express the lyrics. In other words, it is music that does not have the composer dictating everything, but rather leaves room for the singer to complete the story.\nMariko Yamamoto, on the other hand, is a singer who cherishes lyrics and sings as if recounting her life and way of living; Mansanero’s works seem to exist precisely for her to sing.\nThis album features nine of Mansanero’s representative works, plus two additional tracks: “Bésame Mucho,” another iconic Mexican song, and Piazzolla’s tango “Yo Soy María” from the *Piazzolla* album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Contigo Aprendi\u003cbr\u003e2.Cuando Estoy Contigo\u003cbr\u003e3.Esta Tarde Vi Llover\u003cbr\u003e4.El Ciego\u003cbr\u003e5.Adoro\u003cbr\u003e6.Aquel senor\u003cbr\u003e7.No Se Tu\u003cbr\u003e8.Te Extrano\u003cbr\u003e9.Somos Novios\u003cbr\u003e10.Besame Mucho\u003cbr\u003e11.Yo soy Maria\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"doLuck Jazz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53173304492321,"sku":"4988044834880","price":2640.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4988044834880.jpg?v=1785654168","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4988044834880","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
