Many musical artists have very interesting styles of writing music. One of my favorites is those who tell a short story in the song. Especially stories that shock you in the end.

The song Maria Teresa Y Danilo, played by salsa singers Hansel Y Raul tells the story of a rich family who’s father (Danilo) always dressed in suits and the mother Maria Teresa) always dressed in satin. The couple had 2 daughters, the older who wished to get married to her boyfriend. When the father met the boyfriend he knew this was wrong. He went to his daughter and said the weeding was off; she could not marry this man because he was her older brother (go figure how he did not know him before but that’s how the song goes). He also asked not to tell her mother because it might break her heart. The girl cried for days and eventually the mom asked her what was wrong. The girl explained what her father had said to her and the mom sat there looking at her and said “don’t worry about a thing, go ahead and marry him, he is not your brother. That man you call your father? Your father he is not”.

What a dilemma, the father has a son from another woman that no one knew about while at the same time his daughter was not his daughter and he was unaware of that. What a great story. Cheaters galore.
