Cuéntame (Eng: Tell me) is the sixth album from Mexican pop music singer and actress Lucerito. It was released on 1989. Most of the songs of this album were part of the soundtrack from the motion picture Deliciosa Sinvergüenza; it also includes a cover of The Pet Shop Boys' It's a Sin for the song Hojas Secas (Eng. Dried Leaves). This is one of the biggest selling records in her career which she is crowned as one of the best singers for teenagers; and for the first time the audience saw a singer with two radio hits in the charts in Mexico(words of Raul Velasco), with the songs "Corazón a la deriva" and "Tanto". The album was shaping up to be one of the most successful albums of the late '80s, a decade very representative to Lucero.

History

"Cuétame" meant a celebration for Lucero of 10 years of career, but more than that, "Cuétame" is the first album of her mature stage. Although Melody Records refused to change the diminutive Lucerito by Lucero because of sales issues, "Cuétame" is the last album that carried the diminutive Lucerito, giving closed the infant stage of the artist, just to become one of the most successful young prodigy singers from Mexico in the late 80s, a decade that marked the musical business of Mexico.

Cuéntame is the ninth studio album released by Spanish singer Rosario and the soundtrack of the television series Cuéntame cómo pasó. The album was nominated for a Latin Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album, Female.

Cuéntame cómo pasó (English: Tell me how it happened), also known as Cuéntame, is a Spanish television series which has been broadcast by the Spanish public TV channel TVE1 since 2001. Its original name (Tell me) had to be changed for copyright reasons.

The series recounts the experiences of a middle-class family, the Alcántaras (in Spanish Los Alcántara), during the last years of the rule of Francisco Franco and the beginning of the Spanish Transition to democracy. Its name comes from a famous song by the Spanish 1960s pop group Fórmula V, titled Tell Me. The producer of the series is Miguel Ángel Bernardeau.

The series was created to celebrate the first 25 years since Spain's transition to democracy, and its didactic spirit is clearly evident in some of the episodes. It includes documentary interviews with historical figures of the era, such as people concerned with the assassination of then prime minister Carrero Blanco and the death of Franco.

The first episode was broadcast on 13 September 2001. The series begins in April 1968 with the victory in the Eurovision song contest of the singer Massiel. The story reflects changes in Spain beginning in that year.

According to the Etymologiae by Isidore of Seville, Alea was a Greek soldier of the Trojan War who invented the dicing game Tabula. French sociologist Roger Caillois uses the term "alea" to designate those games which rely on luck rather than skill in Man, Play and Games. While Caillois notes the term is the Roman word for games of chance, Robert C. Bell suggests that the Roman game Tabula, a precursor to modern backgammon, became more commonly known as "alea" "towards the end of the sixth century". However, games historian H. J. R. Murray asserts the shift in nomenclature was in the other direction and the game "alea" was later referred to as "tabula".
