OV7||PRIMERA FILA||Sony Music (US Latin)

[byhookorbycook]

After Vicente Fernandez (2008) and Thalia (2009), OV7 is slated to do this year's version of Primera Fila. I'm expecting that this album will be as successful like of their compatriots Vicente Fernandez (Triple Platinum) and Thalia (Triple Platinum+Gold and still counting) in terms of album sales in Mexico.

Regresa OV7 en 'Primera Fila'

Sin Kalimba

Para los fanáticos de temas como Susanita tiene un ratón, Shabadabada o Te quiero tanto, tanto ¡Hay buenas noticias! A siete años de su separación, el grupo 0V7 se reencuentra para grabar un disco bajo el concepto Primera Fila, que incluirá sus más grandes éxitos, así como temas inéditos.

Ari Borovoy, Erika Zaba, Lidia Ávila, Mariana Ochoa, M´Balia Marichal y Oscar Schwebel se reunirán para lanzar un CD más DVD, que contendrá nuevas versiones de canciones como Que triste es el primer adiós, Vuela más alto y No es obsesión, así como melodías inéditas, bajo el nombre de Primera Fila, que ha tenido un gran éxito con Thalía y Vicente Fernández, según difundió Sony Music.

Esta vez sin Kalimba, la agrupación que hace siete años se despidió de los escenarios, realizará una extensa serie de presentaciones por territorio mexicano, pero también hará un tour internacional.

Temas como Enloquéceme, Más que amor, Tus besos, Te necesito, Aum aum, Un pie tras otro pie, No me voy, Calendario, Desbaratándome, Love colada y Mírame a los ojos, entre muchos otros, estarán contenidos en el próximo material de OV7.

OV7 llegó a ser uno de los grupos más representativos y exitosos de la música pop en México, Latinoamérica, Estados Unidos y España.

Durante 14 años consecutivos (1989-2003), primero bajo el nombre de La Onda Vaselina y luego como OV7, grabaron 12 álbumes, obtuvieron múltiples Discos de Oro y Platino, y alcanzaron ventas por más 4.8 millones de copias.

Interesting. I really don't know much about them. I was aware of them when they were Onda Vaselina, but don't remember any songs. I think I didn't pay attention because I saw it as a kids group. I do remember some OV7 songs like Enloquéceme (which I have to say was cool) and that other one Shabadaba...something. :)

Byhook, could you post perhaps 4 or 5 YouTube videos that would be representative of their careers or biggest hits? So I have a better feeling of what they are about. Were the members famous on their own? I do remember the name Kalimba so I guess he made it on its own, but I don't remember any song of his. I'm sure I've heard something though.

Thanks

I,too, am not familiar with OV7. I just posted this news because I am a big fan of the PRIMERA FILA series of Sony Music Latin. They're done with good taste and all of them were successful, in terms of chart positions and album certifications. I might be a fan of OV7 if their Primera Fila are released sometime soon.

La Onda Vaselina has just recorded their Primera Fila. If I remembered it right, they filmed it in Mexico. More details to come soon..

First Single off the album: OV7 EN PRIMERA FILA, on stores 28th of September.



Comparing to the buzz Thalia en Primera Fila generated pre-release date, OV7's version was not generating too much press release recently.

As for the ex-OV7 member Kalimba, he is the one who sang "Tocando Fondo", composed by Mario Domm, who sang by the latter in the first MTV Unplugged of MTV Tr3s:

Did anyone wants these guys to make a comeback? hahahaha.

This album is certified GOLD in Mexico on its first week of release. I wonder if it will also get a DIAMOND just like what Thalia did in her PRIMERA FILA.

Just heard the whole album and I think their sound sounds like RBD. LOL.

Cool! I like him. Looks like the "Primera Fila" brand is really expanding and filling a void left by the MTV Unplugged serious, which hasn't put out anything new in ages. Was the last one the Julieta Venegas one?

In the Latin category, yes, Julieta Venegas is the last one who was tapped to do MTV Unplugged. I really wonder why Sony is in a hurry to record the 4th installment of Primera Fila, though the OV7's version is just recorded this year and still in the market and the only successful market they have conquered is Mexico, that certified them Platinum a week ago.

I've been hearing this a lot on one of Dallas's Latin pop stations and was surprised at the poor quality--not only of the musical and technical arrangements but also of the singers' voices. Some of them sound strained when trying to reach, what appear to be, rather simple notes. (I mean, I don't know; I'm no singer). Nevertheless, the whole affair strikes me as very amateurish.

Kalimba was definitely the best vocalist--by leaps and bounds. Too bad he couldn't be a part of it, but...ahem..he's a tad preoccupied right now. Not trying to go to jail and all.
