JarabeDePalo And Alejandro Sanz Get Romantic For Duet “La Quiero A Morir”

By Sugey Palomares

DLG's version of "La Quiero A Morir" may be a classic dance floor favorite, but once you listen to JarabeDePalo And Alejandro Sanz's version you will be hooked on their romantic roquero rendition.

The track, which is originally a French classic titled "Je l’aime a mourir," is the first single off the group's new album "¿Y Ahora Qué Hacemos?."

The Spanish group made up of talented musicians Pau Donés, Carmen Niño, Alex Tenas, Jordi Busquets, and Riki Frouchtman first landed on the scene in the mid-1990's with their hit single "La Flaca." Many believed that the blues and rock fusion band would quickly become a one-hit wonder, but after winning Premios de la Música awards and snagging Grammy nominations they proved that they were just getting started.

The front-man behind the catchy verses, Pau Dones, recently dished on their new project:

"In the fall of 2008, I was preparing to make an album full with ballads, slow songs about love. But I changed my mind and took a completely different course...That’s when I decided to go forward with 'Y Ahora Qué Hacemos?.' On this album, we wanted to restore our rocker vein and leave the laidback Latin percussion and timbao. We’ve made an album of pure rock, with drums, bass, guitar and vocals."

We are glad they went for a path less traveled! The album, which is out today, also includes collaborations by Joaquin Sabina, Antonio Orozco and Carlos Tarque.
