Hi, everybody, today I have free theme, so I`m going to tell you about "Canto para una Semilla".
Canto para una Semilla is an album from the chilean band "Inti-Illimani", it was composed by Violeta Parra and Luis Advis. The master Luis Advis (who studied philosophy at the University of Chile), took the tenths of the chilean songwriter (of her book "Autobiografía en Décimas") and then convert its in eight songs about his life putting music to them. The lyrics talk about the family of Violeta, her childhood, her tempestuous love, the agreement of her poetry with the working-class needs and requests, the criticism and the denunciation of the domineering class, her death and ,finally, a great great song about the hope of the joining together of all the working-classes of America and him "move" or "omelette turns"; with this, Violeta means the change that the poor people deserve.
Here are a verses that I like: (referring to the domineering class)
Si el sol pudieran guardarlo
lo hicieran de buena gana,
de noche, tarde y mañana
quisieran acapararlo.
Por suerte que pa' alcanzarlo
se necesitan cojones.
