Hello, friends of the world. Hello, friends of Hive. Today is Tuesday again and as you all know, Tuesdays are for good music.
We are almost at the end of this summary of Venezuelan singers who became music idols in the 80s. But we still have some singers left, as is the case of the famous Italian-Venezuelan composer, musician and producer Rudy La Scala.
Rudy La Scala is credited with the success of many musical productions of Venezuelan singers, such as Karina, Guillermo Dávila, Kiara and many others. Today, rather than talking about his work as a composer and producer, we will focus on his vocal quality as a singer. Let's begin:
My life is you
With this musical piece, Rudy la Scala reaches worldwide fame, since this song is the central melody of the Venezuelan soap opera “Cristal”, which was broadcast with great success in many countries around the world.
Why it will be
It is one of the classics of this singer-songwriter and according to his own words, one of the most requested songs in his concerts. The lyrics of this song talk about how “forbidden loves are more intense than allowed loves”, and makes a differentiation between one love and another.
Love is like a flower
With the previous song and this one, El cariño es como una flor, especially, one can perceive Rudy La Scala's very high-pitched vocal timbre, which often led people to believe that he was singing as a woman and not as a man. In fact, there is a controversy with a musical project that Rudy la Scala did with María Conchita Alonso, called Ámbar, since the connoisseurs affirm that it is not María Conchita who sings, but Rudy La Scala.
Nowadays, Rudy la Scala continues composing, producing and singing and although he stopped being the Venezuelan Midas because everything he touched turned into gold, he still holds the record for the highest number of platinum and gold records that a singer-songwriter in our country can have.
