A song I
like
My mom is a
strong influence on my musical tastes. Since childhood I have heard musicians
and bands such as Inti-Illimani,Violeta Parra, Víctor Jara, Quilapayún, Los
Jaivas, Santiago del Nuevo Extremo, etc, of movements the “new Chilean song”
and “Latin American fusion” .
This
movements are characterized by a folk bas, with lyrics that express the wishes
of society or mixture rhythms.
A song I
like so much of this movement is “Lo que más quiero”. It wrote by Violeta Parra
and scored by her daughter, Isabel. On 1970, Violeta publishes its self-titled
album that contains this song and on 1971 Inti-Illimani records and releases
his own version. The latter is my favorite.
This song
is played as a joropo. In the version of Inti-Illimani is accompanied by a
cuatro (instrument of four strings) which takes the base, a guitar (plucking
and arpeggio) and a pair of maracas. But, my favorite element of the song is
the harmony that are the voices, especially at the beginning and end of the
track. When a hear the song I feel the strength of the interpretation.
The lyric
are, broadly speaking, about how what we love as we try to harm, intentionally
or unintentionally.
On this
link you can listen to the version recorded by Inti Illimani
And, here, you can listen to a live version
Enjoy them! Bye :D
