Black Little Angels

The title in Spanish is one I can't say, for I might be called racist just for using the work, though it be the word as it is in Spanish. Ironic, considering that the original poem, the song itself, and the movies that were inspired by the original poem all were created to speak out against racism. Contrary to the current year woke folk, the call to end racism didn't just happen in the current year.

The original inspiration for the song was the poem "Píntame Angelitos Negros," written by Andrés Eloy Blanco some time in the 1940's. Possibly the first rendition of the poem into music was the song "Angelitos Negros" by Manuel Álvarez "Maciste" Rentería. In 1948 was the first movie with the title and theme song mentioned above with Joselito Rodríguez as director and Pedro Infante singing and performing on piano. The 1970 version stars Manuel López Ochoa singing and performing on guitar, with Joselito Rodríguez as director once more. The song has been done by many different performers, with the poem being the inspiration of many other songs beyond just the Spanish language.
