The slow guajira came from the Spanish-Cuban music of the guajiros. Much of its feeling comes from Hispanic melodies and guajeos that were originally, and often still are, played on the tres. The guajira is similar to the slow son montuno but is more delicate and less driving. Its lyrics frequently deal with rural nostalgia.
Was listening to Jimmy Bosch's song: Pa' Mantener Tradicion
Just fell in love with this Guajira style song. To me, there is something very romantic and souful about this form of music. I can certainly feel the nostalgia groove as it's played without even understanding the lyrics. You could easily dance a very slow, sensual Cha Cha to the song I mentioned above and really get into some nice partner work. Very nice. What are some songs that you have identified lately, in Guajira form? :D
