Can’t Take My Eyes off You (Boris Grebenshikov cover)

Abuelitas & Abuelos tell us the story of our ancestors, felt in the stone sculptures that we built in Romania, Tărlungeni, watching them from the fire spiral that we dig on the ground, while cooking a special vegetable meal, with ceramic pot. The moment has became so magical, that Rui Vasques, from Portugal, and Marin (Bufnita Alba)  from Romania, started spontaneously composing this wonderfull medicine song, in spanish language. 

It is a song that honors our ancestors, the ones who look to us from the sky and are eternal parts of our history. It honors the stones which are the memories of the old dense matter on Earth. It honors the vulcanic stones used in Temazcal / Sweat Lodge ceremonies, which are awaken from the fire, opening portals to the timelessness of presence and knowledge, of the human spirit.

Marin is one of the vision keepers of Camino Blanco - Music for Higher Spirits - https://www.caminoblanco.vision/

This song is one of my favourite musical creations, and there is a mystical vibration everytime i play it, specially around a fire.

Abuelitos & Abuelas is the bridge from the past, through present, to the future, of all generations.


Song created in Tărlungeni, Romania - April 2020


Rui Vasques & Bufnita Alba – Abuelitas & Abuelos

Lágrimas de piedra
Ánima de tierra
Ilumina lo oscuro 
Derrite mi corazón duro 

El fuego que arde el piso
Revela un escondido paraíso
Con pájaros de lava flameante
Con chispas de un amor caliente 

Abuelitas & Abuelos
Bailan cantan en el cielo
Abuelitas & Abuelos
Bailan cantan su misterio

Como yo me transformo en suelo 
Gira la espiral del tiempo
Recorro a mis abuelos
Transmutando a con un solo aliento

Levantamos en perfecto equilibrio
La columna hasta lo divino
Alcanzando estrellas brillantes
En una luz infinita e viajante

Abuelitas & Abuelos
Bailan cantan en el cielo
Abuelitas & Abuelos
Bailan cantan su misterio

Rui Vasques & Bufnita Alba - Abuelitas & Abuelos

A song inspired in Fado de Coimbra, and in the beauty of the region of Serra do Açor and Serra da Estrela, made while living in the iconic national monument "Casa do Penedo", in Nogueira do Cravo, from the IX Century. Being in the region of Coimbra and connecting with my growing and family roots, this moment of my life has lead me to this song. Inspired by listening "Fado ao Centro", there was a moment where this melody came into my voice, lightning and calling the born of an eternal fire.
Saudade is a unique word in portuguese, which means "missing something or someone", and that was my deep feeling, before departuring from this place, and wonderfull life together with Laura and Madragoa, in the embracing community of the region.

"Saudade" is an homenage to the unique moments and persons in our lifes,  because what we have is the present moment, and there are moments and persons which will always remain in our hearts and souls.

Rui Vasques - Saudade
Como as águas que correm pelo rio
Transparência revela a verdade
Como a mágoa cria o vazio
Cai a chuva e molha a cidade

Como o vento aumenta o frio
Sangue aquece com proximidade
Como soa o som do assobio
Canto a voz que expressa a liberdade

Como a terra gera o alimento
O maduro cresce em humildade
Como a estrela brilha no firmamento
Vibra a aura livre de vaidade

Como o fogo é calmo ou violento
Se transforma sonho em realidade
Como surge cada sentimento
Minha alma relembra de Saudade

It's certainly been a strange year, a year without shows, without travelling, sharing music & a challenging year for many.

At least there is always great music and some of it made it to this mix, a mix of music old and new, in different contexts, across styles and BPMs.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy and here's to 2021....
