To finish with my covers for this cycle of performances, I wanted to change the rhythm and go to another tango I learned recently. It is a composition by some different musician. Its lyrics were written by Enrique Santos Discépolo; its music, composed by Mariano Mores. It is a tango named "Uno".
When I started to venture into the idea of playing tangos on the Venezuelan Cuatro, this was one of the examples given by my teacher. Of course, my reaction to listening to it was of complete and utter awe. And also, as if I was listening to a Chinese native speaker telling my the instruction on how to disarm a bomb. However, all the time learning and practicing has paid off and today, I can play this song.
It also comes as a nice closure to another cycle of the Hive Music Festival. This might be one where I take some rest and go get ready for a new opening of the festival La Siembra del Cuatro. We shall see how it goes.
In the midst of practice and some other things, this week I heard the best joke one could told a student. After we were done with something for the class, my teacher turns to me and tells me about my progress and some other things. However, he added something that made me laugh a lot. He said this (I'm translating his words) "you're a good player. Otherwise, I wouldn't be teaching you". And I found this hilarious. He also asked me not to go around mentioning this, but it is too good a joke not to do it.
Anyway, this has been a lot of babbler from me. I hope you enjoy this cover!
