CABALLO VIEJO (THE OLD HORSE)
(SIMON DIAZ)


If you think you donīt know a world wide hit from Venezuela, I believe, youīre wrong.

It started as a traditional folk song from Venezuela, written by Simon Diaz about 1980.
It soon became one of the most popular songs in latin music, played by each and everyone.
And then a few years later a group made it a world wide hit -
under a different name and with a different arrangement.
But I wonīt tell you the hit song. Wonder if someone will find out.

The version of Caballo Viejo in the video is by a group called Los Reyes de la Cumbia.
It was the best version I could find at youtube. Itīs ok, though far from the best I know.

Gave a new treatment to the image, which was one of my first horse shots and is still my favourite one.

Definitely in your style, from colors to motion to these yellow spots in the center.
