Juan Cavero, author of one of the most emblematic songs of the Club Sport Emelec, died at the age of 85 this Saturday due to complications from diabetes and hypertension (he would have turned 86 on August 29).
“The Blue Ballet, gentlemen, this year has passed, and the Ecuadorian people are the sensation picture; without stars or stars, always fighting with faith, this is how the Emelec team wins the matches. And you see it, and you see it, it’s the Emelec team ”, says the song that will be remembered forever by the blue fans, who rumble the Capwell singing it until they are out of breath every time they attend their redoubt to support the team of Their loves.
Cavero was inspired to dedicate this song to Emelec after the championship conquered in 1965 and that of Asoguayas, in 1966. “The Emelec song -that is its official name-, with music by Carlos Argentino (one of the singers who are symbols of Sonora) Matancera) and Cavero lyrics, renews its popularity with the obtaining of the 11th crown and updates names such as those of Manuel Ordeñana, Felipe Mina, José Romanelly, Carlos Maridueña, Lucio Calonga and other electric cracks “, recalled EL UNIVERSO in 2013.
The choir was inspired by the song that the Racing bar dedicated to its team after being crowned in 1966. The fans of the Academy sang the “and you see, and you see, it is José’s team”, referring to the DT Juan José Pizutti, who forged a direct, offensive and attractive football in the cast of Avellaneda; which would also end up winning the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental.
“It is the first time that they have made a note of me for The song of the Emelec, he says excitedly while showing a CD on which he downloaded the recording of almost half a century ago. I estimate that around 5000 records were sold at that time. I did not do another (version) again because it would not be the same, ”Cavero told this newspaper in 2013.
One of the iconic phrases that will remain in the fans’ retina is that, according to Cavero, before, “it was played for the shirt, there was real delivery; now some play only for the dollars.”
He also dedicated songs to Barcelona, Emelec’s staunch rival. (D)
