lyrics

Ay si yo soy el de afuera 
Y el de adentro al mismo tiempo (2x)
Entonces dime quién soy?
-Ay ay ay qué es lo que soy? (Bis)

Le tengo respeto al fuego
Pero no le tengo miedo (2x)
Ese fuego de mi abuela 
Que en su fogón lo escondía 
Para que jamás se apague
En su fogón protegía

Entonces dime quién soy?
-Ay ay ay qué es lo que soy? (Bis)

Yo le canto a mis abuelos
Que sin zapatos andaban
Y también canto a mis padres
Que en alpargatas andaban 
Y encima de su caballo
A la luna le cantaban 
Y dentro de su trapiche 
A la lluvia le rezaban

Entonces dime quién soy?
-Ay ay ay qué es lo que soy? (Bis)

Yo soy hijo del chontal
Que nunca quiso rendirse (2x)
Caminando en la vereda 
Me lo dijo la montaña (2x)

Me visto con ropa urbana 
Y espíritu montañero
Me visto con ropa urbana 
Y mi corazón de tierra 
Mi mundo siempre cambiando
Pero estoy bien enraizao'
Con el maiz pu'entre las venas 
Sigo cantando a la tierra 

Yo soy el hijo, yo soy el hijo (x…)

Soy hijo de quien fue malo 
Y también de quién fue bueno (2x)
De quien decidió juzgar 
También del arrepentío (2x)
De quien prendió la candela 
también de quien la apagaba (4x)

With the taut, polyrhythmic lock of César Valencia “I Nova” on bass, synth, Colombian percussion, and vocals. And Fabián Rincón “Don Fabo” on drums, synth drums, and vocals. Their sound is often described as hallucinatory, otherworldly, and haunting. ... more
