styles of latin music; colobian cumbia, colombian vallenato, and

6.Lejos De Ti(Far From You)
English
lyrics：karen
Morris, toronto, canada
This song is more of a stright forward vallenato song with the
blend of forging instruments, such as the steel string guitar, a
cuban 'tres' cuban 'clave', and a snare drum.
T;lejos de ti' talks about being apart from the person you love
and all the feelings that arise from your loneliness. this song
says ' with all the love from my soul i wait for you
Year and i wish to tell you with my guitar, all my feelings for
you. i love you, i'm always dreaming of you, and without your
love i'm dying.... but i'll keep waiting for you'.
Tengo las cuerdans de mi guitarra
I have the stings of my guitar
Tengo la noche y tengo mi voz
I have the night and i have my voice
Para entregarte con toda el alma
With which to deliver to you with all my soul
Las dulces notas de mi canci
The sweetness of my song.
Son las tretezas y la nostalgia
My song is sadness and nostalgia,
Las amargarte del coraz

10.Tres Deseos(Three Wishes)
This song is a blend of merengue 'pambiche' (one of the most
comples merengue grooves) with vallenato. the fast intricate
melodic lines from the saxophone section, brass section, stee
Ing guitar, and the accordion gives the song a totally fresh
taste to the rhythmic and sonic texture. the lyrics of this song
are about how good it is to have love in our hearts for the
people
Mean the most to us. it says 'bad moments are gone, and the good
times are coming'. in the chorus we ask for three wishes (tres
deseos) to the little eastern star. they are let you
Ams come true, let a better world flourish, and lets bring peace
to the world!
