"Flor de Azalea / No me quieras tanto / Piel Canela" is a medley of three popular Latin American songs arranged by the Argentine composer and pianist Bebu Silvetti. The medley was first recorded in 1977 and quickly became a hit in Latin America and the United States. The first song in the medley, "Flor de Azalea," was composed by the Mexican songwriter and actor Ernesto Cortázar in the 1940s. The song is a bolero, a slow and romantic style of music that originated in Cuba in the late 19th century. "Flor de Azalea" tells the story of a man who is in love with a woman who is as beautiful as an azalea flower. The song's melody is characterized by its lush orchestration and soaring vocal lines. The second song in the medley, "No me quieras tanto," was composed by the Cuban songwriter and pianist Osvaldo Farrés in the 1940s. The song is a cha-cha-cha, a style of music and dance that originated in Cuba in the 1950s. "No me quieras tanto" is a playful and upbeat song that tells the story of a man who is trying to convince his lover not to love him too much. The song's melody is characterized by its catchy rhythm and lively instrumentation. The third and final song in the medley, "Piel Canela," was also composed by Osvaldo Farrés in the 1940s. The song is a bolero-cha, a hybrid style that combines elements of the bolero and the cha-cha-cha. "Piel Canela" tells the story of a man who is in love with a woman whose skin is as sweet as cinnamon. The song's melody is characterized by its sensual and romantic tone, as well as its use of Latin American percussion instruments. "Flor de Azalea / No me quieras tanto / Piel Canela" was first recorded by Bebu Silvetti in 1977 and was included on his album "Spring Rain." The medley quickly became a hit in Latin America and the United States, and has since been covered by numerous other artists. The medley's popularity is due in part to Silvetti's skillful arrangement, which seamlessly blends the three songs together into a cohesive whole. The medley's lush orchestration, catchy rhythms, and romantic melodies have made it a beloved classic of Latin American music.
