about

A fresh look at this mythical classic of Hispanic popular music and poetry. In fact, one of the first anti-racist songs in the Spanish speaking world. There are dozens of covers, but so far there has not been any taken to the ground of Contemporary Latin Trip Hop.

Cepe's version fuses epic choirs, latin horns, wind & string sections, latin percussion & of course grooving beats! It's interpreted by the voice of the great Spanish singer Lola Flores, also known as "La Faraona".

lyrics

ANGELITOS NEGROS

pintor nacido en mi tierra
con el pincel extranjero
pintor que sigues el rumbo
de tantos pintores viejos
aunque la virgen sea blanca
píntale angelitos negros
que también se van al cielo
todos los negritos buenos

pintor ay si pintas con amor
porque no pintas de color
si sabes que en el cielo
también los quiere dios

pintor del cuadro de alcobas
si tienes alma en el cuerpo
porque al pintar estos cuadros
te olvidaste de los negros
siempre que pintas iglesias
pintas angelitos bellos
pero nunca te acordaste
de pintar un ángel negro

pintor ay si pintas con amor
porque ay no pintas de color
si sabes que en el cielo
también los quiere dios
