La Parranda (the Big Party)

This song blends a high energy array of grooves such as colobian "chande" with venezuelen "tambores" and an insidious rythmic pattern from a typical snare drum section there

Sudden appearance of  "bata" drums along with a happy trumpet solo, and choruses that explode into a thick unison of voices resembling a big party.

This is a "party" song, where everything is magical, happy, and  exhiliarating.  it says "this night is far from being over, we are going to have fun until the sun comes up".



Van llegando

They are arriving



La fiesta va a comenzar

The party is about to begin



Esta noche la parranda

Tonight is the big party



No tiene como acabar

It has no end



Ya se escuchan

Now they are listening  to



Las notas

The notes



Del acordeon

Of the accordian



De gaitas que enamoran al repique de la tambor

Of flutes that love the beating of the drum



Que suenen los cueros

How the skins sound



Todo es alegr
