Jeanette

也许这个名字对你来说很陌生，但是看过《饲养乌鸦》的朋友对于她的声音，应当是不陌生的。片中那首“Proque te vas”，是一首让人记忆深刻的歌曲，而这首歌的演唱者，就是西班牙最美女声——Jeanette Dimech。Jeanette Dimech，西班牙优美女声，在英国出生，在美国长大，12岁时移居西班牙，并以唱西语歌为主。大多西语歌节奏比较快,但Jeanette的歌却给人感觉十分清新! Jeanette Dimech (October 10, 1951 - ), who performs under the name Jeanette, is an English-born, American-raised singer who has resided in Spain since the age of 12, and who sings primarily in Spanish.  　　 Because of her grandparents' import-export business, she lived with her parents first in London, where she was born; and later in Chicago and Los Angeles, where she grew up. After her parents' separation at age 12, she moved to Barcelona, where her mother was from. During the 1960s she learnt to play guitar and began to write her own songs. She styled her music after American folk music, and her idols included Bob Dylan,Don ovan, and the Byrds. Later she joined the student band Pic-Nic as a singer, who in 1969 had a measure of success with a folk version of the Spanish children's song "Cállate niña". Other notable songs of theirs included "Amanecer" and "No digas nada".  After the band split up at the end of the 1960s, she moved to Vienna with her husband, the Hungarian musician Laszlo Kristof. At the start of the 1970s, she began her solo career with her hit first single, "Soy rebelde" (I am a rebel). It first enjoyed success in Spanish-speaking countries, and later broadened its influence with French and English versions. This song and others penned by Manuel Alejandro, such as "El mu chacho de los ojos tristes" and "Estoy triste" established her as an artist in Spain. Her greatest success "Porque te vas" (Because you are leaving) was actually written by José Luis Perales and remained relatively unknown at the start of 1974. Only when the song was used in Carlos Saura's 1977 film "Cria Cuervos" (Raise Crows), and the film went on be honoured at the Cannes film festival (Jury grand prize) and the Berlin Film Festival (jury special prize), did the song become internationally known and a hit. In Austria it reached number 13, in Switzerland number 4, and in Germanyit even reached number 1.  Although after "Porque te vas" Jeanette never achieved similar international success, she continued singing relatively successfully in Spain (and to a lesser degree France) well into the 1990s.
