The world has missed him since January 10, 2016. Moreover, we can say, with all the sadness and certainty that this entails, that the world is a worse place since he left us. Are we exaggerating? He lived 69 years, and at every moment he tried (and often succeeded) to be in the right place to lead the artistic vanguard of each era he lived through. David Robert Jones (or as we all know him, David Bowie) He published his discography over six decades and, although it had a very personal style, He always made the effort not to repeat himself (how many achieve that goal?). The nickname "chameleon" was definitely not unfounded. He was a man who, after experiencing every adventure imaginable and seeking pleasure in every way possible, in his later years, when an indiscreet journalist asked him what his favorite drug was, He simply replied, "Advil.".
This is the second time in the history of Zonagirante.com that we've paid a similar tribute to Bowie. Today we woke up wanting to remember him. And we wonder what he would have thought about many things we are experiencing 7 years after his death, at the tender age of 76, Four fewer than Mick Jagger (the same as Neil Young), five fewer than Paul McCartney. What would Bowie have said about artificial intelligence in music? What would he think of the evolution of digital platforms? Would he have been able to visit Latin America on a new tour? Anyway, we've put together a short playlist with 10 Latin versions of their songs, made at different times, the first one in 1988, by the Buenos Aires band Friction, up to the one recorded by Buttá Chingó, in the company of Ernesto Snajer, and published in 2021. Artists from Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Venezuela They participate in this list and we believe we have made a good choice to celebrate the legacy of a hero we hold dear.
