More than four decades after its original release, “Maldita Primavera” has been reimagined by Yuri and Ángela Aguilar, two powerhouse voices of Mexican music.
Originally released in 1981 as part of Yuri’s album Llena de Dulzura, the song became a beloved classic, resonating across generations.
Yuri, excited about her new project, had been teasing a surprise collaboration with Ángela Aguilar for days.
When the new version finally dropped, she proudly shared the official video on her social media platforms, generating an immediate wave of reactions.
Within the first 13 hours of its release, the video had already amassed 195,000 views on YouTube, ranking #18 in trending videos on the platform. However, not all feedback was positive.
Fans React: Praise and Criticism for the New Version
Yuri’s Instagram post featuring the new Maldita Primavera received a flood of comments, ranging from enthusiastic praise to sharp criticism.
Many loyal fans expressed their admiration for the collaboration, celebrating the blend of Yuri’s timeless vocals with Aguilar’s fresh take.
Comments like «Beautiful rendition, Yuri! Thank you for bringing this classic back to life!» and «Your voices together are magical!» filled the singer’s Instagram feed.
However, not all reactions were favorable. Some listeners felt that the original song should have been left untouched, arguing that the duet lacked the emotional depth of the first recording.
Here are some of the most talked-about reactions:
- «I prefer the original version. This one just doesn’t hit the same.»
- «Why ruin a song that was already perfect?»
- «Yuri, of all the artists, why choose Ángela?»
- «Ángela always needing collaborations to stay relevant.»
- «This sounds amazing! Love seeing two generations of talent together!»
Why Is This Version So Controversial?
Several factors contributed to the polarizing reactions:
- Ángela Aguilar’s Inclusion – While Aguilar is a respected artist, her participation in multiple collaborations has led to some backlash, with critics claiming she relies too heavily on duets with established singers.
- Nostalgia vs. Reinvention – Many fans hold a deep emotional connection to the original Maldita Primavera, making any changes feel unwelcome. Others appreciate the effort to bring the song to a younger audience.
- Musical Arrangement – Some listeners felt that the new arrangement lacked the raw emotion of the original, while others praised its modernized sound.
What’s Next for Yuri and Ángela Aguilar?
Despite the mixed reactions, the remake has successfully captured public attention, and streaming numbers continue to rise.
Both artists remain committed to honoring the legacy of Mexican music while adapting it for new audiences.
Yuri’s return to the spotlight with this collaboration proves that classic hits can still make an impact, even when reinterpreted decades later.
Meanwhile, Ángela Aguilar continues to solidify her presence in the industry, whether through her solo work or high-profile duets.
Only time will tell whether this new version of Maldita Primavera will stand the test of time like its predecessor.
