Hola, amigos, en esta semana la temática es "Doing the work". Mi canción trata de una mujer llamada María quien cocina dulces para vender y al cocinarlos debe "darles paleta", es decir, remover con una cuchara de madera por largas horas hasta que el dulce tenga la consistencia o "punto" adecuado. Esta es una canción del género "fulía", uno de los ritmos venezolanos típicos. Acompañan a mi toque de maracas:
con su tambor, 
en la voz principal y coros, 
con la guitarra, coros y la publicación de este post, 
en el coro. La amiga 
me prestó su PC para hacer la publicación.
Hello friends, this week the theme is "Doing the work". My song is about a woman named María who cooks sweets to sell and when cooking them she must "give them a palette", that is, stir with a wooden spoon for long hours until the sweet has the right consistency or "point". This is a song of the "fulía" genre, one of the typical Venezuelan rhythms. They accompany my touch of maracas:
with his drum, in the main voice and choirs, with the guitar, choirs and the publication of this post, in the choir. My friend lent me her PC to make the publication.
