There are hours left for the faithful followers of Van Gogh’s La Oreja to remember the song January 20, one of the most iconic songs of the Spanish group and which managed to mark an entire generation. And it seems like it was yesterday when thousands of people heard this hit for the first time with the unmistakable voice of Amaia Montero. But time flies and the song celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023.
Since its launch, thousands of people have been eagerly waiting for this special day in January to arrive with the aim of being able to pay tribute to the single through their social networks. But not only the followers of the musical band have special affection for this song. Her singer, Amaia Montero, has shown on more than one occasion that this song is one of the most important of her career.
For this reason, the artist wanted to remember the song through her social networks. The composer recently shared on her Instagram profile a video from years ago in which we can see the musical group performing this iconic song at one of her concerts. ”There are hours left…HAPPY JANUARY 20”, wrote the singer.
January 20 is not just any day. It is the big day of San Sebastián and the city decks itself out to celebrate its popular tumbarrada, in which thousands of citizens take to the streets to celebrate. But in addition to wanting to pay tribute to the city of her origin, Amaia Montero also wanted to tell the peculiar love story that she lived that same day.
The song is part of the album What I told you when you pretended to be asleep and tells the love story that the Basque woman lived on that January 20 at a train station. Hence that first phrase with which the artist opens this emblematic song: “The early morning of January 20 leaving the train.”
However, the singer’s life has not been rosy and in recent months she has gone through one of her worst times in terms of health. And the singer decided to move away from public life and the media spotlight to take care of herself and improve her different health problems. A few weeks ago, Amaia Montero reappeared on her social networks to share with her followers the new Telefónica advertising spot in which the San Sebastian native provides the soundtrack, performing a beautiful version of the song Moon River.
