Cantar es lindo deleite
mucho mejor con guitarra,
quien le hace el quite a la farra
se va como por aceite.
Sin mañas y sin afeites
puede llegar la cantora,
cantarle a la buena aurora
como lo hace el chincolito
o cantarle al angelito
como la Virgen Señora.
A eso vengo mis señores,
a cantar cantos colmados
de versos tan delicados
como perfectos primores.
Aquí mostrarán dolores,
allá pedirán mudanzas
llenas de fe y esperanzas
de nuestros amargos males.
Fatal entre los fatales
yo seguiré estas andanzas.
Empezaré del comienzo
sin perder ningún detalle,
espero que no me falle
lo que contarles yo pienso.
A lo mejor no convenzo
con mi pobre inspiración.
Se larga la descripción
sin coilas y sin engaños
reculando algunos años
y mudando al caserón.
Ya están sonando instrumentos
y diré con gran estilo
señores demen permiso
aquí presento a mi abuelo:
José Calixto su nombre
fue bastante respetao
amistoso y bien letrao
su talento les asombre.
Mas le aumenté su renombre
al decidir muy en breve
no más entre marte'y jueves
procura mostrar su honor
defendiendo el tricolor
del año setenta y nueve.
En la ciudad de Chillán
vivía en un caserón
dueño de una población
de gran popularidad.
Pa'mayor autoridad
manda a su hijo a la escuela
y a petición de mi abuela
le va a enseñar a solfear
para una orquesta formar
de arpa, violín y vihuela.
Ya ven mi abuelo José
con la música en la mente
y quién hubo más prudente
como mi otro abuelo fue:
Mi abuelo por parte'e maire
era inquilino mayor
capataz y cuidaor
poco menos que del aire.
El rico con su donaire
lo tenía de obligao
caballerizo montao
de viñatero y rondín,
podador en el jardín
y hortalicero forzao.
Al verlo a primera vista
parece mi lindo abuelo
algún arcángel del cielo
gemelo de un Juan Bautista.
Azules sus pupilitas,
dorada su cabellera,
montao en su yegua overa
no hay niña que no lo mire
ni vieja que no suspire
por detracito'e mi abuela.
Me pongo a pensar un rato
y mis taitas aparecen
ojalá aquí deletree
con claridez sus retratos:
Mi taita fue muy letrario
pa'profesor estudió
y a las escuelas llegó
a enseñar su diccionario.
Mi mamá como canario
nació en un campo florio
como zorzal entumio
creció entre la candelilla
conoció lo que es la trilla
la molienda, el amasijo.
Inti-Illimani is a Latin American folk music ensemble from Chile, formed in 1967 by a group of university students. The group gained widespread popularity in Chile for their song «Venceremos» (We shall win!), which became the anthem of Salvador Allende's Popular Unity government. At the time of the September 11, 1973 Chilean coup, Inti-Illimani was on tour in Europe and was unable to return to their country where their music was proscribed by the ruling military junta. In Europe, their music took on a multifarious character, incorporating elements of European baroque and other traditional music forms to their rich and colourful Latin American rhythms - creating a distinctive fusion of modern world music. Inti-Illimani is perhaps the best internationally known members of the nueva cancion movement. Their name means 'Sun of the Illimani' in Aymara. Illimani is the name of a mountain in the Bolivian Andes. Representative tracks include: «Venceremos», «El pueblo unido jamás será vencido», «La flor de la vida».

Do we want to define "I know you know me" a masterpiece? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt for at least two reasons. The first and most evident are the artists who interpret it: Caroline Spence and Matt Berninger, second for the deep and poetic text.
My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
