Incidente de Cumbia - Demetrio Korsi

Con queja de indio y grito de chombo,
dentro de la cantina de Pancha Manchá,
trazumando ambiente de timba y kilombo,
se oye que la cumbia resonando está...

Baile que legara la abuela africana
con cadena chata y pelo cuscú;
fuerte y bochinchosa danza interiorana
que bailó cual nadie Juana Calambú.

Pancha Manchá tiene la cumbia caliente,
la de Chepigana y la del Chocó,
y cuando borracha se alegra la gente,
llora el tamborero, llora Chimbombó...

Chimbombó es el negro que Meme embrujara,
Chimbombó es el negro de gran corazón;
le raya una vieja cicatriz la cara;
tiene mala juma y alma de león.

Y el tambor trepida! Y la cumbia alegra!
Meme baila... El negro, como un animal,
llora los desprecios que le hace la negra,
y es que quiere a un gringo la zamba fatal!

Como un clavo dicen que saca otro clavo,
aporrea el cuero que su mano hinchó;
mientras más borracho su golpe es más bravo;
¡juma toca cumbia, dice Chimbombó!...

Vengador, celoso, se alza de un respingo
cuando Meme acaba la cumbia, y se va
-cogida del brazo de su amante gringo-
rumbo al dormitorio de Pancha Manchá.

Del puñal armado los persigue, y ambos
mueren del acero del gran Chimbombó,
y la turbamulta de negros y zambos
siente que, a la Raza, Chimbombó vengó...

Húyese hacia el Cauca el negro bravío
y otra vez la cumbia trepidando está,
pero se dijera que no tiene el brío
de la vieja cumbia de Pancha Manchá...

Es que falta Meme, la ardiente mulata,
y es que falta el negro que al Cauca se huyó;
siempre habrá clientela y siempre habrá plata,
¡pero nunca otro hombre como Chimbombó!

Letra
NO SE SI SERE YO
NO SE QUIEN A CAMBIADO
NO ENCUENTRO UNA EXPLICACION
A LO QUE ESTA PASANDO
A DONDE FUE EL AMOR QUE NOS JURAMOS

NO SE SI LO HAS NOTADO
YA CASI NI MIRAS
VIVIMOS COMO EXTRAÑOS EN LA CASA
FINGIMOS TODO EL TIEMPO ANTE LA GENTE
NO SE EN DONDE ACABARA ESTA HISTORIA

DIME HASTA CUANDO,
VAMOS A HACERNOS TANTO DAÑO
AMBOS SABEMOS QUE DUELE EN EL CORAZON
PERO ES MOMENTO YA DE DARNOS UN ESPACIO
PARA ACABAR POR FIN YA CON ESTE DOLOR
Y NO SEGUIR VIVIENDO MAS UN FALSO AMOR

SABES QUE TENGO MIEDO
DE PASAR ESA PUERTA
CLARO QUE EXTRAÑARE HASTA LAS PELEAS
NO PODEMOS LLEVAR ESTO A LA FUERZA
NO IMPORTA MAS QUIEN TIENE LA RAZON

Dime Hasta Cuando

Wake up the Earth Festival

Down At The Winter Garden

V

I go to work where I silkscreen on t - shirts 	
For to wake up the earth with the raindrops 	
But I feel I'm in a slump 	
Hearing news of Donald trump 	
So I go to the dump behind the co-op  	
And I find myself Surrounded by health-y foooods  	

Chorus

Down at the winter garden 	
You're in for quite a bargain 	
Fresh Bread and lettuce heads  	
And Duck Eggs inside the carton 	
Down at the winter garden 	
Despite the people's jargon 	
You're never starving here  	

V2

Every time that I'm there 	 
All the people stop and stare 	 
But I'm the one that's carrying the free potatoes 	 
And the wrinkled collared greens 	 
Avocados that ain't so clean 	 
The day-old garbanzo beans and bruised tomatoes  	 
Still I find myself surrounded by health-y foooods that are gooood  

Down at the winter garden        
You're in for quite a bargain 
Fresh Bread and lettuce heads 
And Duck Eggs inside the carton  
Down at the winter garden 
Despite the people's jargon    
You're never starving here  
Here I find myself surrounded by healthy foods that are good for youuuuuuuu

Down at the Winter Garden

Querido Santiago

While everyone think we are all the same
remember that’s not true
Somehow we are so different from each other

Would you imagine that we’re all the same
the World would be confused
Why don’t you get yourself prepared…

We're not all the same (If you ever need a jingle! :))

Artist Statement

My varied singing career began when I started auditioning for a singing contest Reality TV Show hosted in Panama. It was a great privilege to have been part of that show as I gained essential experience during my performances on every Wednesday for 3 consecutive months plus another 3 months for the second time of participation in the same show. I consider myself a performer of Music. I would love to have the opportunity one day to sing with a Big Band Orchestra.

As all professional careers, there are ups and downs, and there are events that lead you to progress and to develop a new way of thinking and acting. Associating day and night with all of my musician friends and pursuing a better understanding of music, I am finding new ways to develop my musicianship. Another great step for me is that I have learned to compose my own songs by teaching myself to play the guitar.

I love to sing songs, sustaining the intensity and feeling the ecstasy while maintaining a rapport with my audience, similar to my musical heroes, Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion and Faye Wong.  I also enjoy collaborating with musicians who play string and wind instruments. This is the main reason I am hoping to study at The Berklee College of Music. In short, my aspiration is to find the right musicians to collaborate with and to develop the ability to understand and improvise through a deeper understanding of musical language. 

My devotion to Music comes from an indispensable need to communicate what I hear and feel in my mind and heart. Music creates an imaginary bridge allowing the World to see inside, through I need enough interpretative and creative skill to build it into existence. Finally, I have to thank God for giving me the talent; He also has given me the clarity to find the path I want to travel.
