Missed a few days but today’s Afro-diasporic music tribute comes from a group I worked very closely with during my dissertation research, Afrocuba de Matanzas.
This is one of the 3 main styles of rumba called yambú.
Pa’ los mayores means “for the elders”

M'he distret una estona a tocar "expressive strings" al teclat i afegir una mica de guitarra i un ritme afrocubà, i us passejo per les floretes de l'escala, sense cap altre particular que empipar una mica.

Nuevo (para mi) disco.
"Cuando acabe este verso que canto
Yo no sé, yo no sé, madre mía
Si me espera la paz o el espanto;
Si el ahora o si el todavía.
Pues las causas me andan cercando cotidianas, invisibles.
Y el azar se me viene enredando poderoso, invencible."
