Vestari

Two lights en la noche de la ñuke mapu e s una canción que reúne tres idiomas, tres de las corrientes que conforman mi imaginario, por los que recorro mis espacios culturales. Una canción que tan solo busca invitar a redescubrir esos rayos de trascendencia que a veces se nos alumbran en la cotidianeidad y en las dificultades de la vida. En la última estrofa de la canción, he incorporado a la figura del viento como “símbolo movilizador” que transita por estos espacios sagrado/trascendente y profano/cotidiano. Es así como  recurro a los versos del poema pu zomo engu kürüf (2009: 32-3) de la poeta mapuche Liliana Ancalao, quien utiliza el viento como mediador, pero en su caso, se refiere a los espacios de lo urbano y lo rural.

Cae la Tarde  es una canción muy simple y meditativa que compuse durante mi viaje a Sri Lanka. Inspirada en los hermosos e inigualables atardeceres que pude contemplar.
