In celebration of his birthday, the talented Spanish artist Abraham Mateo surprises with a gift full of nostalgia and emotion. He presents a new version of “Hoy Tengo Ganas de Ti,” one of the most romantic classics in Spanish Pop music. This legendary song has stood the test of time since Miguel Gallardo wrote and popularized it in 1976.
“I never imagined that one of the songs I sang as a child could resonate so strongly if I performed it again,” Mateo shares. “The most special thing about this project is that it came about spontaneously, during a family barbecue,” he recalled.
“My girlfriend’s father picked up the guitar, and for the first time, we joined together to sing. After the great reception on social media, where the video reached over 600,000 views, I decided to share this version with all of you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!” added the young Spanish artist.
This intimate and flamenco interpretation, featuring the collaboration of Paco Cuevas, Abraham’s father-in-law, a flamenco guitarist from Chaito y Palosanto, has already captivated thousands of followers on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Now, this musical gem is officially available on all platforms today, August 22, at 6 PM (EST), offering a vintage touch that beautifully wraps up a summer full of successes for Abraham Mateo.
The video, produced by José Cano and directed by Aaron Snaiderman, captures this version of “Hoy Tengo Ganas de Ti,” which successfully blends Abraham Mateo’s modernity with the passion of the song and his deep connection to his roots.
“Hoy Tengo Ganas de Ti” joins the list of great songs that have been reinterpreted throughout history, and with it, Abraham Mateo enters the exclusive list of artists who have made it their own, like Azúcar Moreno and Alejandro Fernández alongside Christina Aguilera, promising to become a new favorite for his fans.
