MIJARES covers Sanremo-entries in Spanish






Mexican singer Manuel Mijares not only participated himself in Sanremo 1990 (singing the Spanish version of Mia Martini's "La nevicata del '56" called "La nevada") - he also covered Lena Biolcati's "Amori" from 1990 as "Amor", Massimo Di Cataldo's "Se adesso te ne vai" from 1996 as "Si ahora te me vas", the winning entry from 1985 "Se m'innamoro" from Ricchi e Poveri as "Si me enamoro" & "Per amore" written and later also performed by Mariella Nava, which was a hit for Andrea Bocelli, but for the first time performed in Sanremo 1995 by Flavia Astolfi.

He also recorded Spanish versions of songs orginally done by Gianni Morandi, Zucchero, Fiordaliso & Nino Buonocore.
