gloria estefan - la parranda (the big party) lyrics
this song blends a high energy array of grooves such as colobian “chande” with venezuelen “tambores” and an insidious rythmic pattern from a typical snare drum section there is a sudden appearance of “bata” drums along with a happy trumpet solo, and choruses that explode into a thick unison of voices resembling a big party.
this is a “party” song, where everything is magical, happy, and exhiliarating. it says “this night is far from being over, we are going to have fun until the sun comes up”.

la fiesta va a comenzar

las notas

de gaitas que enamoran al repique de la tambor
of flutes that love the beating of the drum
que suenen los cueros
how the skins sound

se pendio el jaleo
its lost in the din
que toque la chirimia
how plays the oboe
