Music is so important that almost all the nations of the world have their own national anthem. A Hymn from a simple concept is a song has lyrics, chorus and verse, a sound that represents us before the world in sports competitions, friendly or diplomatic meetings.
That's what music is about, connect with a sound and reflect ourselves in some letters, but in the case of a national anthem that gives respect to any other nation, is a song that all Venezuelans owe them respect and is a song that we represent to the world.
At the sound of the Hymn everyone should stand, be silent for the duration of the song. These are a few parameters culturally since childhood, because it no longer is a sound, a letter or a song, it is one nation, one country connected with its history, its people. Our national anthem is made song by Venezuela and Venezuelans, saying "I'm here, I have a story to tell and a story to do."
Although this video refers to its version in Warao, the first language of our people of Venezuela, indigenous and citizens who still today maintain their living habits, and refuse to leave or acquire other constumbres.
I chose this version of the National Anthem, precisely because it is emotional and profound from a historical and cultural sense.
It has a greater contribution to us as citizens and invites us to learn more about our history, our roots, those that preceded the Spanish Colony, to know who we are and to know where to go.
The original version of the song is on YouTube and took the opportunity to share the theme "I stay in Venezuela," the Venezuelan Carlos Baute, because at this point in Venezuela, you need to connect with the sounds bearing the name of our country, to listen , those songs remind us of what we are and hope to be. It also allows us to consider that life is cyclical and sometimes the events are repeated.
Important to listen; "Venezuela" played by Luis Silva, the "Alma Llanera" National Anthem "Gloria al Bravo Pueblo" in Warao version and of course, "I stay in Venezuela" Carlos Baute.
This version of the National Anthem at Warao include several important points for national events and part of the story it tells.
- El Pueblo Bravo refers to Venezuelans who rose in Pro Independence Movement and / or people who decided to be Venezuela
- The law is a reflection of our virtues as citizens, this implies our rights and duties.
- Both the higher social classes (White Shore, white Creoles and sons of Spaniards) and those with few resources (Mestizos, Indians and mulattoes) wanted freedom / emancipation (take care of ourselves) But only union allowed at least , gestate as independence movement.
Paradoxically, the melody of "Gloria Al Bravo Pueblo" is very similiar to "Go to sleep my child , " a lullaby that teach us to arruyar babies.
It is not just a sound birth, but a tune with a story that transcends generations.
