Bittersweet the success of the song “Amen” for Ricardo Montaner and his family

Since the song “Amen” was released on December 23, in which he participates Ricardo Montaner, along with their children Yes, Ricky and Evaluna, next to his son-in-law Camilo, his video has been viewed over 100 billion times on the YouTube platform.

This good news was accompanied by some less good news, when it was heard that a person very close to the Montaner family, Roberto, known as ‘Ruper’, fell ill with the coronavirus and finally died only a week ago. This caused the song’s promotion to be postponed.

But “Amen” gave them all the strength they needed to move forward and realize that the original purpose they had when they created it, to bring faith and hope in God, succeeded in invading them as well and balm to use in such bad times. moment. “As a family we lived closely with the COVID-19 and we have been very vulnerable. If we hadn’t had the song ‘Amen’ I wouldn’t be in front of this camera “Montaner said during a press conference via Zoom. “We would be totally devastated. While the song’s success is a great joy, it happens at a strong and difficult time for us. But we travel in peace that we have always asked God for “.

For all members of the Montaner family who participated in the song, it is extremely important for people to understand its meaning and purpose. “’Amen’ confirms many things we have all felt. Since I was ten years old, I have served Jesus Christ and am constantly looking for a way to serve Him in my own way., said Mauricio Montaner, who forms the urban music duo Mau and Ricky with his brother. “The truth is, I am very clear about what I want to do with my life and how I want to serve God. With this song, I feel like it’s like those songs that confirm that everything I’ve been doing for a long time and everything I’ve sown has been worth it ”.

Ricardo Montaner stated that he hopes the song “Amen” will go beyond this moment and become a kind of balm for those people who are bad in their lives. “I think over time this song will become a way of evocation for a lot of people who have been through special moments, but it’s not what we’re looking for. What we are looking for is that it hangs there, as a message for people to wrap up with it at the least expected moment and when they need it the most “, the artist detailed.

In the case of Colombian Camilo, who is married to Montaner’s daughter, Evaluna, the album “Amen” has filled him twice. “The song gives me tremendous joy and I feel that I am part of a divine purpose”noted the singer who was nominated for 10 Premios Lo Nuestro. “However, I am also very excited to know that I have already sung with Ricardo Montaner. I know I should be humbled about this, but it fills me with pride that I have completed it “.

This single, the video of which is directed by Marlene Rodriguez, Montaner’s wife and mother of the song’s participants, is the first of Ricardo Montaner’s new album, which will be released in late March or early April and will be named after the song. “On this album we wrote at least eight songs between all of us (including the three brothers and Camilo). Which means that we continue to work together “the Venezuelan singer added. “And if my kids allow it, I’d like to be involved in some way on their albums too”.

While it is not the first time they have collaborated on a song with their famous father, this was a unique and satisfying experience for Montaner’s children. “It’s easy for any of us to forget that our dad is Ricardo Montaner when you see him every day. That’s nice, because all our lives we’ve really had the opportunity to learn from a teacher at home. I don’t think all artists have that fortune “mentioned Ricky, who is characterized by having half of his hair dyed blonde. “At the time of the race that we are in, it is a huge achievement in the career of each of us to be able to say that we are successful with Ricardo Montaner. I’ve been a fan of Montaner’s music since birth and it’s a dream come true with my idol in song. “.
