Name: Tonada del guante
Duration: P00H06M39S
Description: A song inspired by the tonada llanera, a traditional style of work song also from the plains. It's a nocturnal piece; a solitary and lunar reflection, silent, facing the boundlessness of the savannah. A call to the road ahead.

lyrics

Toma un guante,
sea de seda o de boxeo,
Toma un guante,
vete cara a la borrasca.
Sea con dulzura,
Un golpe bajo,
Un cumplido y un knock-out,
La agarras por la barbilla, un beso,
Quieto.
Levanta el velo de la espera,
Ando y piso
Con pie húmedo y salado.
Dime hacia donde mira tu bota ancha :
Kilómetros de gravedad profunda.
Ahoga la rodilla pa’ coger esa flor,
El pavorreal saluda tras de tí.
Levanta el velo de la espera,
Ando y piso, ando y piso…
Voltea el guante,
A mano limpia,
Y empecemos otra vez.

Ahhhhh this is my FAVORITE kind of collection-- strong female vocal lead, drums that will grab your heart and not let go, and a power that you know connects Latin America back to Africa Gran Hablador
