Lay There Little Baby

A song written about Lahinch man and community activist Ger Hartigan, who along with many other Clare people, facilitated the asylum of Chilean refugees in Shannon during the 70s. They were fleeing from Pinochet and the military government after the coup in September 11, 1973. As the legend goes, the British Secret Service showed up in the West of Ireland wondering why messages we being passed from Co. Clare to a Moscow radio station. The message (allegedly) being sent via Moscow and then back to Chile was to let their families know that they arrived safe in Ireland.

New Song for the Morning

This song was taught to us by our friend Tommy Nelson. El humahuaqueño is a “carnavalito”, the typical style of the northwest of Argentina. More specifically, it refers to a small town called Humahuaca, the centre of a region called “la quebrada de Humahuaca”. It´s in Jujuy province, near to the border with Bolivia. The song is part of the “Kolla culture” (an indigenous group of the area)
The song talks about the carnaval that is coming (llegando está el carnaval…) and the “fiesta” that will take place in all the region (fiesta de la quebrada humahuaqueña para cantar…) It also mentions typical instruments of the region (erke, charango y bombo, carnavalito para bailar)
