Edgar Barrera<\/a>, Pablo Preciado and Enrique \u201cFato\u201d Guzm\u00e1n. The latter has penned some of Aguilar\u2019s greatest hits, including \u201cMe Vas a Extra\u00f1ar,\u201d \u201cPor Mujeres Como T\u00fa\u201d and \u201cPerd\u00f3name.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\tWith Que Llueva Tequila<\/em>, his first in two years since A La Medida<\/em>, Aguilar hopes fans \u201cremember that they have all the right to ask for more quality in the music and I hope that they can see that it\u2019s still available and we can do it. I believe in the craftsmanship of music. I still believe in putting your heart into it,\u201d he adds. <\/p>\n\n\tIn his own words, Aguilar \u2014 currently on his Jaripeo Hasta Los Huesos U.S. Tour \u2014 breaks down six essential songs from Que Llueva Tequila<\/em> below.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\u201cHasta Que Me Duermo\u201d\t<\/h2>\n \n\tI love this song very much, and it was the first single for a reason. It\u2019s the one where you can hear the fusion very clearly. I wanted to do that in this album, I wanted to go a step further when it came to fusion, especially in these days when everything is a mix of cultures, languages and generations. This was the perfect song to do that with. Pablo Preciado wrote this one \u2014 he actually wrote five songs on the album. He\u2019s someone I made a click with tremendously, musically speaking, and I think he did too. <\/p>\n
\n\t\t\u201cTe Confirmo\u201d <\/strong>\t<\/h2>\n\n\tThis is not your traditional mariachi, it has more of a contemporary language \u2014 and I\u2019m not saying bad words or anything like that, but it\u2019s more digestible. It\u2019s less formal and traditional in a way that rancheras used to be written, but still, it\u2019s a very traditional ranchera. And the theme is different. Normally, we\u2019re always suffering because our partner left us and we\u2019re drinking, feeling sad for ourselves \u2014 and this song is the opposite. It\u2019s like, \u201cI can confirm that I\u2019m really okay without you. I\u2019m doing great, actually, and I can confirm that you weren\u2019t that special in my life.\u201d The message is cool for a change. And I like the music very much \u2014 it\u2019s really catchy.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\u201cMira Qui\u00e9n Lo Dice\u201d <\/strong>\t<\/h2>\n\n\tIt\u2019s an Edgar Barrera song and another type of fusion. It has a lot of soul, blues. It\u2019s not the first time I do a sound like this but Edgar\u2019s songs are very special. His songs give you that liberty to do whatever you want to do with them. They have this magic. I wanted a more blues-y, soul vibe and I did it with my band. That\u2019s one thing I want to mention. Everything you hear in this album it was recorded and made with the musicians I\u2019m touring with, arrangements and everything, we did as a team. We didn\u2019t bring star producers or star arrangers to help us make this album. Everything is made in-house. This song is one of my favorites in the album \u2014 and not because it\u2019s written by one of the most important songwriters in the past 25 years, but because it\u2019s really pretty cool.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\u201cNo Hay D\u00eda Que No Est\u00e9 Nublado\u201d<\/strong>\t<\/h2>\n\n\tThis song gave me a chance to do something more upbeat. This album leans more towards the romantic side of things. Although it has some hardcore rancheras, it\u2019s more of a romantic album. This one is not downtempo, it\u2019s completely upbeat. I love it and the album needed a song like that. It\u2019s a sad song because of what it\u2019s saying but the song is so upbeat that it gives you a weird effect. It gave me the opportunity to go deeper with harmonies and vocals. It\u2019s also written by Pablo Preciado. Pablo\u2019s songs are tremendously difficult songs to perform. He writes for himself and he has a huge vocal capability. It was a challenge but it was great.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\u201cQue Llueva Tequila\u201d <\/strong>\t<\/h2>\n\n\tThis one is one of my favorites, because I really love mariachi \u2014 not only because my parents introduced me to it, but because I love how it makes me feel. I enjoy mariachi, and it should never disappear. Although I make many songs that are a fusion, there should always be a song that represents traditional mariachi. This song is it. In its majority, it\u2019s a song that has the traditional mariachi structure, thematically and sonically. And these are really fun to sing. \u201cQue Llueva Tequila\u201d is a mariachi song through and through, and I did it that way because I love mariachi, no other reason.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\u201cCuesti\u00f3n de Tiempo\u201d <\/strong>\t<\/h2>\n\n\tFato, as you know, has a really important place in my career. I can\u2019t imagine my career without him, and he probably can\u2019t imagine his career without me. I have three songs penned by him on this album, and \u201cCuesti\u00f3n de Tiempo\u201d is one of them. And it happens to be a bachata. It\u2019s such a different song from the rest of the album. For starters, Fato is a poet, he comes up with great metaphors that are just such great ideas. The song is about behaving in life because well \u2026 karma. <\/p>\n
\n\tThey lyrics say: \u201cRecuerda donde pasaste porque alg\u00fan d\u00eda regresar\u00e1s a recoger los pedazos de tu alma rota en la oscuridad<\/em>.\u201d It\u2019s like, \u201cYeah man, what goes around comes around\u201d \u2014 but said in a very beautiful way, in his style. And musically I wanted to give it a twist. I created a crazy sound based on loops that I made in my studio. This bachata rhythm, the percussions and beats I made for it it gives it a sound that\u2019s also pretty new. And that wasn\u2019t the idea, the song just asked for it. I was mixing the song and I was with the engineer and then I started clapping and heard it in my head. I knew we needed something else. I invited a drummer, who is friend of mine, and the song took another direction.<\/p>\n\n
