As a singer, songwriter and accordionist for the Corpus Christi based group TALENTO, 25 year old Albert Zamora has found the key to creating a style that is exciting, youthful and powerfully defiant. For over 4 years, Zamora and his group have been driving audiences into dancing frenzies with his explosive accordion playing and the group's ability to interact with the crowd. "We never really plan anything out at our shows," Zamora says, "but, if the crowd responds to us, then we like to get things rowdy by responding with them."
The group features a progressive conjunto line up - Milo Rivas on the Bajo Sexto, Manuel Ponce on Bass, Steve Perez on Drums, and Trino Martinez on Keyboards - but its the hard funk polyrhythms of Zamora's accordion and his distinctly melodic song writing that makes their sound instantly recognizable.
Albert Zamora Y Talento are surely staking out their own claims to the new Conjunto sound armed with an electric blend of old and new ideas. Under the Hacienda record label since the groups creation, the group has released 10 albums with their most current being "No Puedo Quererte". This group is also one of the first Conjunto groups to release a full length concert video entitled "Albert Zamora Y Talento - Live in Monterrey."
With many successful tours of Texas and Mexico, Albert Zamora Y Talento, recently entertained thousands of fans during their first California tour, with performances in Los Angeles, San Jose and Fresno.
The world of Conjunto music is changing rapidly and Albert Zamora Y Talento are determined to lead the way.
Una Estrellita Lloro
Albert Zamora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y al mirarme solo y triste de mi se compadecio
luego me puse a pensar como quitarle sus venas y las mias arrancar
una estrellita lloro
y al mirarme que sufria ya de luz se ilumino
una estrellita lloro
y esperanza me dio
una estrellita me dio
y no se equivoco
porque aqui estas conmigo.
una estrellita lloro
y al mirarme solo y triste de mi se compadecio
luego me puse a pensar como quitarle sus venas y las mias arrancar
una estrellita lloro
y al mirarme que sufria ya de luz se ilumino
una estrellita lloro
y esperanza me dio
de mirarme contigo
una estrellita me dio
y no se equivoco
porque aqui estas conmigo.
The lyrics of Albert Zamora's song "Una Estrellita Lloro" hold deep and poignant meaning. The song speaks of a lone star that weeps and takes pity on the singer, who is feeling lonely and sad. As he gazes at the star, he wonders how he can take away its pain and his own, by removing their respective veins. The star illuminates his path, giving him hope of being with the person he loves. The star gifted him with its guiding light, and it did not make a mistake since the beloved is now by his side.
The song is about finding hope in moments of darkness and loneliness, and how something as simple as a star can help illuminate the way. The star represents a beacon of hope, shining in the darkness and guiding the singer towards his loved one. It is a beautiful representation of how the promise of love can light up a person's life and help them overcome their pain.
