5.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
All is happy
Se pendio el jaleo
Its lost in the din
Que toque la chirimia
How plays the oboe
