https://3speak.tv/watch?v=esthersanchez/paljdijh ¡Hola, estimados amigos! Espero estén bien y gozando de buena salud. El día de hoy les comparto mi interpretación de la canción: "Luka". Una canción escrita e interpretada por la cantautora estadounidense Suzanne Vega, lanzada en mayo del 1987. Es su éxito más alto en las listas de Estados Unidos, alcanzando el número tres en el Billboard Hot 100. A nivel mundial, la canción alcanzó el puesto más alto en Suecia y llegó al Top 10 en Austria, Canadá, Nueva Zelanda y Sudáfrica. Tuvo nominaciones a los Premios Grammy de 1988, incluyendo Grabación del Año, Canción del Año y Mejor Interpretación Vocal Pop Femenina. Vega también grabó una versión en español de la canción, incluida en el lanzamiento del sencillo. Al hablar de “Luka” no podemos referirnos a ella como una canción más, una de estas que gana premios y que solo es famosa por este hecho. Luka se caracteriza por tener un mensaje. Su letra nos habla de una problemática que, por muchos años, se ha querido omitir o esconder detrás de una frase más adornada: “dar un escarmiento para que aprenda”. El “escarmiento para que aprenda” es tan viejo como el Maltrato infantil y es algo que por mucho tiempo se normalizó en muchos hogares y que, al mismo tiempo, era mal visto por muchos. Vega en un documental, en el año 2018 habló sobre el significado de su canción: “Quería escribir sobre el abuso infantil… Tenía que pensar en cómo escribir sobre un tema del que nadie habla”. Para mí, siempre ha sido una canción muy especial, tanto por su letra como la manera que introduce el tema del maltrato infantil a través de una hermosa canción que nos cuenta una historia creada desde la observación de la vida. Para compartirla con ustedes me acompañé con una pista que tome de la red. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NlGBDrxqH0E" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" frameborder="0" > Espero que les guste mi participación. ¡¡Bendiciones!! ENGLISH VERSION: Hello, dear friends! I hope you are all doing well and in good health. Today I’m sharing my cover of the song “Luka.” The song was written and performed by American singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega and released in May 1987. It was her biggest hit on the U.S. charts, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. Globally, the song peaked at number one in Sweden and reached the Top 10 in Austria, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa. It received nominations for the 1988 Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Vega also recorded a Spanish-language version of the song, included on the single’s release. When we talk about “Luka,” we can’t just refer to it as just another song—one of those that wins awards and is famous solely for that reason. “Luka” stands out because it carries a message. Its lyrics address an issue that, for many years, people have tried to ignore or hide behind a more euphemistic phrase: “teaching a lesson so they’ll learn.” “Teaching a lesson so they’ll learn” is as old as child abuse itself and is something that was long normalized in many homes while, at the same time, being frowned upon by many. In a 2018 documentary, Vega spoke about the meaning of her song: “I wanted to write about child abuse… I had to figure out how to write about a topic that nobody talks about." For me, this has always been a very special song, both because of its lyrics and the way it addresses the issue of child abuse through a beautiful song that tells a story inspired by observations of life. To share it with you, I accompanied myself with a backing track I found online. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NlGBDrxqH0E" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" frameborder="0" > I hope you like my performance. Blessings!!
