"Cuando calienta el sol" (meaning When the sun heats (or warms) up) is a popular Spanish language song originally composed as "Cuando calienta el sol en Masachapa", Masachapa being a coastal town in Nicaragua. The music was written by Rafael Gaston Perez, a Nicaraguan songwriter and bandleader. SADAIC (the Argentine Society of Music Authors and Composers) also credits the Argentine composer Carlos Albert Martinoli.[1][2]
The song was published in 1961 and made famous by the Cuban Mexican vocal group Los Hermanos Rigual with the lyrics by Carlos Rigual and Mario Rigual from the band. It was a big hit in many European charts reaching number one in Italy staying at the top for four consecutive weeks.
The song has been interpreted by a great number of singers with notable recordings by Javier Solis, Alberto Vázquez, Connie Francis, Los Marcellos Ferial, Pablo Montero, Raffaella Carrà. Italian singer Ines Taddio covered the song on his album with the Hungarian danceband Club Együttes[3] in 1963. Mexican singer Luis Miguel covered the song on his album Soy Como Quiero Ser in 1987 which was produced by Juan Carlos Calderón. It was released as the third single from the album and peaked at number 50 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in the United States.[4] The music video for Miguel's version was directed by Pedro Torres and filmed in Acapulco.[5]
