Thanks for posting this link, keberoxu. You've made my day.

Sheila Blanco mentioned St Matthew Passion:

This was one of the first LP's I bought in my life, when I was a very impoverished student. I first heard this particular piece on a tiny transistor radio. I was sitting in the sun in the doorway of my tiny, grotty student flat and this tinny little radio was playing the most beautiful piece of music I had ever heard in my life.

Thijs Van Leer - Erbarme Dich from 'St Matthew Passion' BWV 244

It wasn't until a couple of years later when I moved into a student share house with someone who howned a record player that I could listen to that piece of music again but I hung onto that amazing revelatory musical memory until I could hear it again.

And this, it seems, is what inspired Sheila Blanco in the first place.

The video in question, now on YouTube,
began as a tweet.

In Spanish, a journalist report

Just a short correction...
"¡Qué tío currante que fue Mister Bach!
todo el día compone que compone"
...means
"What a hard-working guy Mister Bach was!
composing again and again all day long".

Also... a few "su" are translated by "your" instead of "his" but it's not really confusing.

This is an absolute kick!

Música: Badinerie de la suite Nº. 2 en si menor de Johann Sebastian Bach
Letra: Sheila Blanco

Cuando se habla de composición,
hay muchos autores que merecen un programa:
Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy,
todos ellos son irrepetibles.
Pero hay uno que es inigualable
porque su legado musical es colosal.
Es barroco, fastuoso, espiritual, indescriptible,
es la música de Dios, Johann Sebastian Bach.
Si tú te fueras a Marte a vivir,
llévate contigo la pasión de San Mateo.
Si necesitas relax y fluir,
escucha las variaciones Goldberg
y los conciertos de Brandenburgo.
No olvides la Suite número 2 menor en Si,
que te atrapa, te subyuga, te ilumina,
te sublima, te alucina, terminando este Badinerie.
¡Qué tío currante que fue Mister Bach!
todo el día compone que compone,
pero ahí no acaba la cosa ¡no, no!
Además de componer y 20 hijos tener,
fue cantor, clavecinista, violinista, organista y violista
y alemán y luterano.
Pero lo más loco de su historia
es que cuando murió J.S.
su inmenso legado
quedó sepultado
y tuvo que llegar Felix Mendelssohn
a hacer valer la obra de Juan Sebastián Bach
y construir casi de cero su reputación.
Hace ya más de tres siglos nació
y sus obras se escuchan cada día.
¡Qué habría hecho Bach con un buen Instagram!
Si en el XVII hubiera habido internet,
Bach tuiteando sus partitas, más retuits que Rosalía,
y con su peluca blanca de youtuber.
Si estás cansado del reguetón,
escucha a Bach y pon atención,
en sus corcheas
y semicorcheas
está la historia de nuestra Humanidad.
No pierdas el tiempo y vete a disfrutar,
si hubo alguna vez un Dios fue Juan Sebastian Bach.


Google gives a pretty good translation:

Music: Suite Badinerie Nº. 2 in B minor by Johann Sebastian Bach
Letter: Sheila Blanco

When you talk about composition,
There are many authors who deserve a program:
Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy,
All of them are unrepeatable.
But there is one that is unmatched
because his musical legacy is colossal.
It's baroque, lavish, spiritual, indescribable,
It's the music of God, Johann Sebastian Bach.
If you went to Mars to live,
Take the passion of Saint Matthew with you.
If you need to relax and flow,
listen to the Goldberg variations
and the Brandenburg concerts.
Don't forget the Suite number 2 minor in Si,
that catches you, subjugates you, enlightens you,
It sublimates you, it hallucinates you, finishing this Badinerie.
What a curious uncle Mister Bach was!
all day make up that composes,
but the thing doesn't end there, no, no!
In addition to composing and 20 children having,
He was a singer, harpsichordist, violinist, organist and violist
and German and Lutheran.
But the craziest thing in its history
is that when J.S.
his immense legacy
was buried
and Felix Mendelssohn had to arrive
to assert the work of Juan Sebastián Bach
and build your reputation almost from scratch.
More than three centuries ago he was born
and his works are heard every day.
What would Bach have done with a good Instagram!
If in the XVII there had been internet,
Bach tweeting his little games, more retuits than Rosalía,
and with your white youtuber wig.
If you are tired of reggaeton,
listen to Bach and pay attention,
in their eighth notes
and sixteenth notes
There is the story of our Humanity.
Don't waste your time and go to enjoy,
if there was ever a God it was Juan Sebastian Bach.
