It came while bagpipes season in Venezuela: the sound of drums, the Zulia, the next descent of La Chinita (November 18) bring us closer to this undeniable tradition. On the other hand, letters of protest are becoming more relevant in these times of crisis. So as each group presents their bagpipes of the year, the issues confronting us.
Gran coquivacoa presents this year "Do not for anyone," which says vocalist Neguito Borjas, is "tastier than an arepa ... is the bagpipe, so we want to take this message to avoid losing force in any Venezuelan corner , our fact call is sounding throughout the year, not only in gaitera season. the bagpipe is a train without brakes full of flavor, joys, with awareness messages. There is no transculturización that allows the bagpipe lose its value because a people without music is a people without identity cards ... and the bagpipe not for or nugget (zuliana expression) ".
Last year, this group took root in Venezuela feel with "I do not want to be half" for that of the inevitable division of the country.
Another bagpipe group that this year throws his darts is Melody Bagpipes. With his vocal leader Alvaro "Cuchillo" Duran they give everything with "The Bachaco" whose sones raised welt with one of the situations that most make a dent in Venezuela, the "bachaqueo", ie reselling commodities sadly normally scarce in business. Duran lashes out hard against this situation, not to denounce, but to expose what is suffered daily in the country.
Protest is the bagpipes, which was dormant for some time, perhaps because it was not necessary. Valga mention gender to pay a small tribute and remember the recently deceased singer Gladys Vera, perhaps the first woman who sang bagpipe protest against machismo. Vera died on September 5.
Also, not to stop placing the other end of the scale are the now classic bagpipes will surely try to decorate the Christmas, as "Amparito", "Without rancor," "The zuliana flock," all sounds Guaco together, and other excellent groups like Rincón Morales, Maracaibo 15.
