'Por amor / Así como te buscaba / Yo vendo unos ojos negros' is a medley of three songs composed by the Argentine musician and composer Bebu Silvetti. The medley was first released in 1979 as part of Silvetti's album 'World Without Words'. The album was a commercial success, reaching the top of the Billboard Latin Pop Albums chart and earning Silvetti a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Performance. The medley consists of three distinct movements, each with its own unique characteristics. The first movement, 'Por amor', is a slow and romantic ballad that showcases Silvetti's talent for creating lush and emotive melodies. The song features a prominent piano melody, accompanied by strings and a gentle percussion section. The lyrics, sung in Spanish, speak of the power of love to overcome all obstacles. The second movement, 'Así como te buscaba', is a more upbeat and rhythmic song that draws on Silvetti's background in disco and electronic music. The song features a driving bassline, funky guitar riffs, and a catchy synth melody. The lyrics, also in Spanish, speak of the joy of finding love after a long search. The final movement, 'Yo vendo unos ojos negros', is a traditional Mexican folk song that Silvetti arranged in his own unique style. The song features a lively and upbeat rhythm, with a prominent trumpet melody and a lively percussion section. The lyrics, sung in Spanish, tell the story of a woman who sells her black eyes to a man who is captivated by their beauty. Overall, 'Por amor / Así como te buscaba / Yo vendo unos ojos negros' is a masterful example of Silvetti's ability to blend different musical styles and create a cohesive and emotionally resonant work. The medley showcases his talent for creating memorable melodies, his skill as an arranger and producer, and his deep understanding of Latin American musical traditions.
