by Ariel Ramírez | |
English | Alfonsina and the Sea |
Year | 1969 |
Libretto | Félix Luna |
Language | Spanish |
Recorded | Mercedes Sosa |
"Alfonsina y el mar" is a zamba composed by Argentine pianist Ariel Ramírez and writer Félix Luna, first released on Mercedes Sosa's 1969 album Mujeres argentinas.[2]
The song is a tribute to the poetess Alfonsina Storni, who committed suicide in 1938 in Mar del Plata, jumping into the water from a breakwater, although, according to the song, she slowly went into the sea. This connection has given rise to a widespread but erroneous rumor, according to which the lyrics of the song were originally the poetess's suicide letter, later set to music by the authors of the zamba.[2]
It appears on the following album:
