Knowing Venezuelan traditional-popular music. Today's song: "Noche Vieja" (Old Night)

in #dsound6 years ago


It is a pleasure for me to present today's song "Noche Vieja" (Old Night). It is an energetic Aguinaldo - Parranda by Rafael Salazar. Salazar is a composer and musicologist committed to our culture and, in addition, he is a researcher and promoter of the autochthonous of Venezuela and Latin America. This Aguinaldo was composed by Salazar in the year of 1987, expressly for the Luango Group and at the request of these to include it in an Album dedicated to the Christmas songs.

"Noche Vieja" is a vigorous Aguinaldo whose musical texture is recreated in the form of Parranda similar to those played and sung in the central area of Venezuela. In this opportunity, we will hear the original version that was recorded by the Luango Group of Venezuela in the album titled Luango is Christmas. In this album, I had the opportunity to play the Mandolin, next to the excellent guitarist Miguel Delgado Estévez, back in the year of 1988. I hope it will please you all.

Chorus
What a beautiful night
Of love and partying
Shine the joy
In frank hope
Where is the star
That lights this house
I
Old night moving away
Time, cannon light (bis)
Twelve grapes on the road
New hug party (bis)

Chorus
What a beautiful night
Of love and partying
Shine the joy
In frank hope
Where is the star
That illuminates this house (bis)
II
The family gathered
Provide the bread of your hope (bis)
And the bustle of children
Paint de amor our house (bis)

Chorus

III
Sowing lights the sky
At night and its recount (bis)
And an infinite number of voices
It announces the new year (bis)

Chorus

IV
The cup goes with time
Of absence and joy (bis)
By the owners of silence
For the feast of life (bis)

Chorus

V
The shoot of the year springs up
With the music of the day (bis)
Aguinaldos and parrandas
And hope lit (bis)
