Repertoire

A musical inheritance

My current repertoire includes songs that were composed or popularized by Buena Vista Social Club, Armando Manzanero, Danny Rivera, Lucho Gatica, Coloma San Basilio, Massiel, Rocio Durcal / Juan Gabriel, Simón Diaz and Cecilia Todd among others.

Many of these songs are inherited from my mother Chelena. She, a singer and actress, like her two sisters, Mary Cruz and Chiminia, exuded beauty, art and poetry wherever she went. When the three of them got together, they were a bomb!

*The Barquisimetan sisters Chiminia, Mary Cruz and Chelena.*

Chelena and her cuatro (1941-2019) — *Chelena, artistic name of Mercedes Elena Mendoza Rivero (1941-2019).*

Thus, when I play “El Último Cafe” on the piano today, I am not playing a tango by Julio Sosa or the most contemporary version by Rocio Durcal. I am playing my godmother Mary Cruz, who sings it with a lot of passion. When I play “Brindaremos por él” by Massiel, I don't remember the Spanish singer who was successful on television when I was still a child. I remember my mother with her cuatro and her wonderful voice. They are my influences.

My grandmother Silvia Rivero also played the piano. I don't remember her much. She passed away when I was still very young, but I can assume that she passed on all the art of music to her daughters and that I too am the bearer of her musical heritage. For this reason I want to bear her last name. The maternal surname of my mother and my aunts, the last name of my grandmother, Rivero.

About me

I am a technology consultant with more than 25 years of experience. Since the spring of 2017, after closing my business in Barcelona, I decided to put the computer world aside and since then I have mainly dedicated myself to making origami, offering workshops and selling my figures between markets in Berlin and La Palma, where I currently reside.
