VazquezSounds: Rolling In The Deep

Have you heard this cover of Adele’s “Rolling in the deep”?

No? Then watch now: http://youtu.be/a7UFm6ErMPU

 

If you’re one of those complaining about how her English is not that great or that the arrangement is too simple, then it’s a case of sour grapes, and you’re a horrible horrible person, shame on you. The niña is all of ten, and her brothers are 13 and 15. Such a stunner! Her charisma more than makes up for their adolescent gawkiness. She has that odd sense of pure laid-back confidence that you hope teenage, and subsequently, adulthood, don’t drain out of her. She looks like a diva in the making.

I waded through some of the interviews (in Spanish, no less. That’s my superpower, btw) and they make their talent sound very obvious, like they just woke up one morning and started playing like this, and the girl just started singing like this, and that Abelard, the guy playing  the guitar, the bass and the piano just did it naturally. Angie just casually says, “I’ve had no professional training. My mom sings, I guess that’s where I get it from” and “Oh, it was just recorded in the study”. Can’t possibly be that easy, when the production quality of the video looks so professional (I counted 5 cameras, and if not, there are definitely multiple takes. Even the editing looks so professional.) A little more digging revealed that their dad is an established producer (which explains the above average production).

Anyway, it’s quite interesting how much people are willing to fuel the interest of their kids these days.  You see quite a few precocious kids  on youtube and a few Rebecca Blacks, and people seem to be more willing to chance their kids’ hobbies just in case they make it big. A far cry from what used to happen back then. You know the “Padhoge likhoge banoge nawab, kheloge koodoge hoge kharab” ?

In any case, these kids are awesome. I love them, and am waiting to see what they do next. Hopefully, some originals.
