Wow ! i' so glad you actually sung a little bit of this pasillo ... it is indeed a very powerful song, very nice :) , and thank you very much!

Here is a little extra story of why it was called ''el aguacate'' ( the avocado) since no one really knows for sure.. we only have possible stories:

• One version says that he composed this song in Cumbayá , a valley near Quito , and when he was playing on the piano one avocado , thrown by one of his children , fell on top of the keys making some noise, and that was it ...

• Another story says that when he was performing the song in the neighborhood of La Tola , in Quito , he was interrupted by a seller , screaming '' aguacate para el almuerzo!'' ( avocado for lunch )

-Third story says that he invited his friends over one day to hear his new composition , asking them what title should he put to it. One of his friends , realizing they were under an avocado tree , just told him as a joke to name it ''el aguacate''

There are many stories , but one thing is for sure , the composer had a really nice sense of humor :)

I hope to see more new entries this week !

Cheers ,
