After the success of master and lordArnaldo André directed a new novel which premiered in 1985. the infidels It was another success for Canale 9, but far from being remembered for the slap that the protagonist gave Luisa Kuliok, it was the opening song the one that lasted in time.
Mariano Romero (Arnaldo André) was an airplane commander who flew all over the world, and in every airport he had a love. Lucia Rossi (Maria del Carmen Valenzuela) was waiting for him in Buenos Aires, a woman who has suffered from deceptions but has not been able to resist that love.
Raúl Lecouna’s production was another chapter for the Paraguayan-born actor who came from a string of major TV successes.
And where the year preceding the novel master and lord I had played drama and scandal with the slaps involved, this new production has contributed more to comedy with a brilliant Guillermo Francella along with Boris Rubajain a duo of delusional executives who contain and encourage Commander Romero in his conquests.
Love is like that, I know
But nothing would be the same in the memory of this fiction without the emblematic opening song, a composition by Juan Marcello He captured the essence of the story. my freedom, no.
“Love is like that, I know. It’s like touching the sky. Something magical in the air, yes.” The sound of the turbines of a plane taking off and Arnaldo André looking at the sky, cut to Valenzuela’s look almost like a movie villain, a suggestive guitar riff and a walk along a corridor , cut to the protagonist jumping on a hang glider in the janeiro river .
“But I won’t change my freedom, I want to always remain unfaithful”. That was the refrain that clarified what the spirit of Comandante Romero was.
Juan Marcelo, part of the duo Juan y Juan, author of hits such as Ballad for a fat man OR dance on one legIt wasn’t the first novel he set to music.
had composed the song live in love for Rolando Rivas, taxi driver, but this topic was another matter.
The author’s memory
“When it comes to love, I am there and I give myself without measure. I give my soul, I give my life, but in the end I’m goodbye.”
“When you make music for images you have to enter the situation, the story. The idea of a pilot traveling the world seemed very cool to me. Something mysterious, seductive, enveloping and captivating,” recalls Juan Marcelo when asked about the song.
“It has a James Bond look.. That arrangement is common at first, but played clean. It is the image of a cancerous type, a seducer, an infidel. That Bond genesis can be seen in the opening, which was Roger Moore’s time as a secret agent.
The story of how the song was made also has its anecdote.
“I was on the old Channel 9 and I meet Raúl Lecouna (the producer of the soap opera) who invites me for a coffee to talk to me about the project and offers me to do the music,” says Juan Marcelo.
“I was living in San Isidro at the time, I composed the song while traveling. When I got home I called him and played it on the phone. It didn’t change an iota and I recorded it the next day”.
