Cordilheiras

Viemos de todos os cantos
Sorrimos em todos os tons
Nosso povo tem muitas cores
Nossa terra tantos sabores

Fue cuando llegamos
Que encontramos Abya Yala
Pueblos, culturas, lenguas
Belleza más que rara

Latinoamérica pulsa en la UNILA
Conocemos nuestros valores
Cordilheiras, cores, tambores
Sob o Cruzeiro do Sul
Recontamos a nossa história
Levantamos voz y banderas
Na terra das águas da fronteira

Nosso povo é grandioso
É forte supera o luto
Resgata suas bandeiras
Impõe seu lugar no mundo

Generoso como Amazonas
Resiliente como Atacama
Hermoso como los mares
Nuestro pueblo és como
Cordilheiras



============================================
Mountain ranges

We came from all corners 
We smile in all tones
Our people have many colors 
Our land so many flavors

It was when we arrived
That we met Abya Yala
Peoples, cultures, languages
Beauty beyond compare

Latin America pulses in UNILA
We know our values
Mountain ranges, colors, drums
Under the Southern Cross
We recount our history
We raise our voices and flags
In the land of border waters

Our people are mighty
They are strong, they overcome grief
They reclaim their flags
They impose their place in the world

Generous like the Amazon
Resilient like the Atacama
Beautiful like the seas
Our people are like
Mountain ranges

Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun. I’ve been here for at least 10 years, but only recently have I started using the platform for something other than just external digital storage.
Most of my recordings (made with a KorgD8, Audacity, and more recently Reaper for MIDI and the Spitfire Audio libraries) are entirely homemade and decidedly imperfect. And yet, I think that lately I’ve learned to do something a bit more - and better - also thanks to greater commitment.
My music includes old songs (all written back in the last century; here I’ve only shared the ones I’ve reworked in recent years) as well as both old and new instrumentals — usually in several versions, some of which eventually disappear because they’re simply unlistenable.

Thanks for stopping by and giving something a listen; in the description you’ll often find explanatory notes or translations of the lyrics.
Here I’ve discovered a community of talented musicians and songwriters, and plenty of beautiful music to enjoy. Whenever I like, comment, or repost a track, it’s always the result of attentive listening. For the same reason, I’m not interested in trading empty “likes” without real engagement, and I won’t reply to messages from would-be promoters — follower counts don’t matter to me in the slightest.

Update (2024, September 9). Completed the "AI & (fake) songwriting project". Here: https://soundcloud.com/mick-hansan 

P.S.: A prayer, a humble request to those who publish songs: use the description area to make the lyrics available... This would make listening to them more complete and enjoyable!

I've posted some 'live' homemade performance here: https://www.instagram.com/michele_ansani/
