Spanish Artists Record a New Version of Coronavirus Anthem 'Resistiré': Watch
Over the past weeks -- with Spain in total lockdown as coronavirus infections and deaths have risen to alarming numbers -- the song “Resistiré" has become a 2020 anthem.Originally released by Spanish pop’s Dúo Dínamico in 1988 and further popularized on the soundtrack of Pedro Almodovar’s 1989 dark romantic comedy Átamé, "Resistiré" is now being sung collectively at a distance by neighbors on balconies, by employees and customers in supermarkets, and in cover versions made by artists at home.¡Qué maravilla!pic.twitter.com/pWgOZ0OkaE— Bea Fanjul (@bea_fanjul) March 18, 2020Now, a new version of the song is being offered as Spain’s “We Are the World” for the coronavirus crisis.
