Hive Music Festival Week 46 Round 1 "Tin Marín" Cover By @sayury

Hola, comunidad de amantes de la música, en esta semana 46 de Hive Music Festival se está realizando la ronda 1 de las 3 rondas programadas. Deseo compartir con ustedes otra canción de Alí Primera (1942 - 1985) cantautor venezolano llamado por muchos "El Cantor del Pueblo" debido a las temáticas tocadas en sus composiciones que interpretaba acompañándose con el cuatro venezolano.

Hello, community of music lovers, in this week 46 of the Hive Music Festival, round 1 of the 3 scheduled rounds is taking place. I want to share with you another song by Alí Primera (1942 - 1985), a Venezuelan singer-songwriter called by many "El Cantor del Pueblo" (The People's Singer) due to the themes played in his compositions that he played accompanying himself with the Venezuelan cuatro.

This song was a tribute that Ali Primera made to a Venezuelan folkloric music group that mainly played music from the Caribbean Sea coast, with strong roots in the music of Africa since it is music cultivated by the descendants of the slaves who were kidnapped in said continent and brought to work in America and specifically - in this case - in Venezuela, during colonial times, to work in the large cocoa and coffee plantations, items on which the economy of our territory was based at that time.

Of course, they are songs with a strong rhythmic base, played with various types of drums. The group "Madera" performed these songs. In 1977 this musical group had been created by Juan Ramón Castro, Ricardo Quintero, Jesús “Chu” Quintero, Felipe Rengifo “Mandingo”, and Carlos Daniel Palacios. They were born in a humble neighborhood called Marín, located in the San Agustín del Sur sector in Caracas, Venezuela, and from the beginning they dedicated themselves to projecting and disseminating Afro-Venezuelan cultural manifestations.

On August 15, 1980, they were in a small boat on the Orinoco River, to perform one of their many live performances. This boat sank, causing the death of the eleven members of the group.

Alí Primera compone entonces este tema en su honor y hace un juego de palabras con el nombre de la agrupación: "Madera": Cuando dice "Muchacho, pàsame los fósforos, porque esta madera va a arder..." Y son sumamente emotivas las frases "Solo se mojaron, en la orilla están, secándose al sol, pronto sonarán..." Que expresa esa parte del luto llamada "negación" donde el sobreviviente resiste a creer que ha perdido al ser amado en brazos de la muerte y viene el "parece mentira"... "parece que estuviera dormido".

Clarifying that the "Quitiplás" that is mentioned in the line "Boys, drum, hands, quitiplás, just got wet, they sound again" refers to a percussion instrument that is composed of four or more tubes made of bamboo. They are each one of different size and diameter which gives them a different sound timbre when their ends are hit against the floor.

I am participating in the voice category and I hope you liked my interpretation

Lyrics

They just got wet
and on the shore they are
drying in the sun
soon they will ring
I have a great pain
in the rib
The drum loosens
And it's because of the humidity

Fire with tears is steam
Steam with wind is nothing, it goes away
like rain it will return
To start planting

Boy give me the matches
That wood is going to burn
Boy give me the matches
that this candle is going to burn
That fire will light the way
To where it will be necessary to go
Where is it going to be?

Sing and sing
until life
It becomes a song
And our combat a single song

Because that wood is useless for woodbox
Because that wood is pure heart
Because that wood is pure heart
Because that wood is useless for woodbox

Scented wood
to coffee jasmine
Precious wood, precious wood
Hope wood, song wood
We'll make a hand out of that wood
To hit very hard
to whom since forever
Hit and hit hit us

Tin marín, let the candle burn
Marin tin against humidity
Tin marín let the candle burn
Marin tin against humidity
drum boy
Quitiplas hands
They only got wet they ring again
drum boy
Quitiplas hands
They only got wet they ring again
Tin marín let the candle burn
Tin marín let the candle burn

they just got wet
and on the shore are
drying in the sun
soon they will ring
I have a great pain
in the rib
The drum loosens
And it's because of the humidity

• I hope you liked my participation and I was very pleased to connect with pleasant memories of the time when this song was new
