Rio Mira - Agua

Become a fan of Rio Mira: www.facebook.com/RioMiraMarimba/ Buy: ayarecords.bandcamp.com/album/agua Benjamin Vanegas’s lyrics in "Agua" tell the story of his own grandparents’ journey along the rivers of Colombia from el Pacífico to Esmeraldas. Depicting the oral tradition of people living along rivers banks and how they shared their story's via canoes from town to town. Communicating all kinds of news like the death of loved ones and other sorrows floating down with the current. Also referencing Gabriel Garcia Marquez`s character "Francisco the Man" a sort of trovador in "100 years of solitude" who floated down the river singing songs, but in a context of the Afro-Colombia-Ecuadorian immigrant.
