bannork Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Some hilarious responses here, Tippers an expat since he was two, 5555. I had a wonderful time in Nigeria from age 2 -6 and then my dad moved us to Hull. i should have become an expat at that point! Why couldn't I have had Tippers' foresight and applied for a Nigerian passport at the time? I could have run so many scams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 my mom took me to Bolivia when I was two y.o to show me off to her family but we didn't stay...her aunt Carlotta who was a campesina woman (her father's sister, native dress and no spanish, only quechua) took a shine to me...later when I returned and stayed for 2 years she died and someone got a pickup truck to collect her from the hospital morgue...and we bumped along a bumpy track back out in the countryside and I sat in the back with the box and it was so dark you couldn't see yer hand in front of yer face, literally...and then the truck stopped and a howl of grief went up from the darkness and unseen arms hefted the box into the darkness...I guess I shoulda been horrified as I was only 15 y.o. but I just quietly observed and there was a candle lit adobe house on a nearby hill...I just lit a smoke and followed along... I just wanted to stay at home in California and go surfin' but expatriateness kept followin' me around...btw those quena flutes are incredibly difficult to play, ancient and indigenous and stringed instruments didn't appear until later with the spaniards in the 16th century...me and a pal would play, me on guitar and him on recorder in place of a quena...I didn't know it but I was thereby inducted into the 'nueva cancion' movement of the 60s (my pal was older and a self professed commie, studied biochemistry at the local university, I was still in high school) and that could get you killed by fascist military dictatorships at the time armed and trained by the US state dept... zamba para Don Rosendo by Jorge Cafrune later to die at the hands of the fascists in Argentina and a hero, this one is a personal favorite... listen closely to his guitar, very nice...

Another great band using 2 drummers was of course the Glitter Band ! , maybe we shouldn’t go there. Here’s one from Tedeschi Trucks !! ( not strictly from the era of the topic, but the song is ) Thank you three times. Masterful music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not paying lip service when I say this is a beautiful tune. I've replayed it a dozen times already. I was going to ask you, since I don't speak Spanish, for the translation of the lyrics. But hey, in this age of the Internet information on almost anything is at your fingertips. Turns out the lyrics are as beautiful as the tune itself. Thanks again for introducing a lovely musical artist, tutsi. ZAMBA – DE MI ESPERANZA. The lyrics were written in the 1950s by Luis Profili, from the town of Mendoza at the foothills of the Andes. They are very lovely, full of symbolism, but rather difficult to translate! Jorge Cafrune made the song his own, adding his personal introduction, which is plucked on the guitar with great virtuosity. The rhythm is that of the Zamba, not to be confused with the Brazilian samba! Zamba, from my hopes You dawned like a longing. Dream, dream from the soul That sometimes dies without flowering. Dream, dream from the soul That sometimes dies without flowering Zamba, I sing of you Because your song spills love, A tender touch of your kerchief Wraps round my heart A tender touch of your kerchief Wraps round my heart CHORUS Star, you who looked down And heard my pain, Star, allow me to sing And love as I do now. Star, allow me to sing And love as I do now. END OF CHORUS Time that goes by, Like life, never returns. Time is slaying me But your love will ever be, will ever be Time is slaying me But your love will ever be, will ever be Sunk on the horizon I am dust carried by the wind. Zamba, never leave me, Without your song I can’t live anymore Zamba, never leave me, Without your song I can’t live anymore CHORUS (REPEAT) May as well take the opportunity to post another fine tune by Jorge.

Tippaporn Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Gotta post one more from Jorge. Have listened to quite a bit of his music and what strikes me is his wonderful guitar style. Simply beautiful. I like this song for not only the wonderful guitar but his emotional delivery of the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
