Background and composition
In 1995, Iglesias released La Carretera, his first Spanish-language album since Calor (1992).[1] To promote the album, "Agua Dulce, Agua Salá" was released as its lead single in 1995.[2] The song was later included on Iglesias' compilation album My Life: The Greatest Hits (1998).[3] The song was written by Estéfano, Donato Poveda, and Hal Batt while produced by Ramón Arcusa.[4] The track was recorded in Miami during April 1995.[5] Musically, "Agua Dulce, Agua Salá" is a rumba flamenca and describes the theme of life, to accept its bitterness and pleasure and to keep on dancing.[6][7][8] Colombian vallenato musician Egidio Cuadrado, who is a member of Carlos Vives' band, plays the accordion for the song.[9] The track is also accompanied by hand claps and "jubilant" background singers as well as percussions.[1][10]
Promotion and reception
The music video for "Agua Dulce, Agua Salá" was filmed at the Hermitage of El Rocío in Huelva, Spain and features Venezuelan model Fabiola Martinez.[11][12] Iglesias performed the song live on the Mexican variety show Siempre en Domingo in 1995.[13] A Portuguese-language version of the song was recorded by Iglesias under the title of "Água Doce, Água do Mar", which was included on his studio album Ao Meu Brasil (2000).[14] "Agua Dulce, Agua Salá" has been covered by Dominican Republic singer Alex Bueno on his studio album Me Equivoque (1996).[15]
