Background Information
Operación Triunfo is a Spanish reality talent contest which first aired in Spain in 2001. Operación Triunfo, also known as OT, puts the cast through a variety of competitions singing cover versions of popular songs with tutoring from various professionals. The fifth season of the show started in October 2006. This double album was released as a soundtrack to this season of the television show featuring performances from the show as well as others done directly for the album. The album featured a number of special guests,including Bono.
The album was release on December 4, 2006, and reached the #2 chart position in the Spanish chart. It was released on Santander Records in conjunction with BMG and Sony. It was not widely released outside of Spain, however tracks from the album can be purchased on iTunes throughout Europe. The song which is used here is “46664 (Long Walk to Freedom)” and the song appears to use Bono’s previously recorded vocals from the original release of the song. The song was then remixed with Spanish vocals by Daniel Moritz and the cast of OT 2006, and new vocal harmonies. It is unknown how much participation Bono had in the production of this song.
The original version of “46664 (Long Walk to Freedom)” was a song that Bono was working on with David Stewart of the Eurythmics and Joe Strummer of the Clash. Strummer passed before the song was completed, and the recording was done with Bono on lead vocals. The song was named for Nelson Mandela’s prison number, 46664, which also became the campaign name to bring information about the AIDS epidemic in Africa to a wider audience. The original recording of the song could be listened to in two ways, either by calling a special country specific number, or via a digital download of the song.
