There are many tributes and many will still come for Mexico’s greatest romantic singer but never one with such attention to detail and emphasis on excellence in terms of arrangements and production as “GRACIAS PRÍNCIPE, THE GREATEST TRIBUTE TO JOSÉ JOSÉ,” sung by one of his own pupils and undoubtedly one of his most fervent admirers, Mexican singer and artist Cristian Castro.
Produced by Rafael Pérez Botija, producer and composer behind many of the greatest hits from the “Princípe de la Canción” (Prince of Song), as “GRACIAS PRÍNCIPE, THE GREATEST TRIBUTE TO JOSÉ JOSÉ,” is a compilation of José José’s most celebrated songs, majestically interpreted by Cristian Castro.
With incredible care and precision, Pérez Botija recreated the wonderful arrangements for each of his legendary songs, taking them to a new level of musical excellence, approved and supported by the ‘Príncipe de la Canción’ himself, having shared the stage on many occasions with Castro and appearing in the historic video for “La Nave del Olvido” (“The Ship of Oblivion”).
Enjoy every minute of this album, from beginning to end, as it represents a journey unlike any other, combined with love, passion and a personal touch by Cristian Castro.
This album is more than a tribute to the Prince, it is the perfect way to remember and celebrate him…and the best way to say: GRACIAS PRÍNCIPE!
