Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Daniel Sentacruz Ensemble formed in 1975 in Caracas, Venezuela, with Daniel Sentacruz on vocals and guitar, Aldemar Avila on bass, and José Antonio Bravo on drums. They later added keyboardist Alberto Slezynger and percussionist Manuel 'Maneco' Díaz. Their debut album came out in 1978, also called 'Linda Bella Linda.'
That title track became their most recognizable song. It's a straightforward Latin pop tune with a folk feel, the kind that gets stuck in your head after one listen. The melody is simple and direct, which probably helped it catch on beyond Venezuela in the early 1980s.
At one point, some listeners thought 'Linda Bella Linda' sounded a bit too much like the Cuban song 'El Son de la Negra.' The band said any similarity was just a coincidence. They kept playing their music, which mixed local rhythms with pop arrangements.
