CANTO DEL AGUA David Hill ALLIANCE Music Pustications, Inc. | |“Canto del Agua” o Song” isan example of Venezuelan folk music asociated with tradition called Joropo. Joropo encompasses not only music but also poetry, dance and the fiestas that go along with them, The music of Joropo originated with the sailors and musicians who arrived in South America aboard the Spanish galleons. Ie would be most appropriate to employ guitar and/or percussion as an accompaniment to this selection, Spanish style guitar and congas, if available, would lend a wonderful feeling of authenticity. sum canto matanero Allacrilica del io, ‘Que twa dicendo negra Tapame que tengo fio. ‘Que twa dicendo negra Vamanot a enamarar. ‘As, yt 3 eta noche mew Ay, ai, yai, a pasearme entre las dunas. ‘49,303 reame nea Porque se ico abana sum canto mafanero Alla orilita del vio, ‘Que t va dicendo newra Tapame que tengo fo.
