I’ve lived half of my life away from the place where I was born, and a third outside Venezuela. I still find habits I have conflict with, things that I unfortunately learned growing up. But, there are others, the good ones: I don’t rehearse them, I don’t plan them, they just wake up in my veins when sounds around me can be recognized by my ancestors.
They just happen.

The Cruz de Mayo (May Cross) is a vibrant, deeply rooted cultural and religious celebration in Venezuela observed throughout the month of May. It blends Catholic, Indigenous, and Afro-Venezuelan traditions to honor the Holy Cross, thank Mother Nature, and pray for abundant rain, bountiful harvests and other blessings as the wet season begins.

Thanks to for bringing this knowledge all the way here; wonderfully hosted by

Luisa has a special stillness that drives attention in, she combines a good technique with good storytelling that doesn’t need much. She makes me think of those Latinamerican balladists from the 80s that all they needed was a microphone and a mic stand.

I’ve see many good singers in my life, but good storytellers are rather rare.
