The now must regret the death of Ali Primera. Ali the man, the dreamer, the idealist, the humanist, the poet, the troubadour, the visionary.
I start to think, imagine if Ali Primera alive at this moment, I am more than sure that he was seeing and experiencing the fruits of all their struggle, for all your work, all its ideals and especially enjoying her prophecy their hope in a Venezuela more humane, more equitable, more like for all Venezuelans. And I say prophecy because in many of his songs reveals her hopes for a better country, a great nation, of "A GOOD COUNTRY," as called one of his songs, and where it says in one of his verses:
... and fight for unity,
that everyone will
with hope in hand
give the country looking for ways
dignity.
... is all
task of making a good home.
I must confess that little known repertoire. Above all knew their parts more commercial music as "cardboard roofs," "Song for a gentle angry people", "Cunaviche in" etc. Almost all of them composed in the 70's. Certainly there was an episode, I think it's good to have you, which happened exactly in the mid 70's. There was a Venezuelan musical group called Los Guaraguao, and they used to play pieces of Ali Primera. This group was presented in a brewery, if I remember correctly, was located at the end of Avenida Casanova; not remember the name of the place, but had some success. One night, so many that occurred in that place, they were playing The cardboard ceiling and it had among the attendees, a soldier, as the military has risen from his table, has approached the stage, with a glass of whiskey in his hand and has launched content in the face of the singer. So those who were treated in one way or another "dared" to touch a subject that had to do with socialism in any form. How about?
The song was cardboard roofs and remains one of the most touching parts as deep and just our reality. That's why I say that capitalism in Venezuela failed profoundly such a rich country but always governed by the less able, which was brought misery to his people.
But back to the subject of this article. What is important, we have to stand out from Ali Primera was so special that this condition had to tell the truth in her songs that suffered the Venezuelan people.
And when I say that his songs had something of prophecy, just enough to listen ABREBRECHA. In this song, I imagine that Ali predicted what was to come, what we are experiencing at this moment, because it contains in its content the suffering of the Venezuelan people and the hope of real change that gives the country another direction . Part of the lyrics of this song says:
REST IF RIBS AS THE PALO
comes and goes.
AND ANY CHIPS
CAN REMOVE THE WEDGE,
MY PEOPLE GO, NO FUNA
THE SAILOR HAS BEEN
sea sighs when he sees the
AND LIVING IN
OSCURANA dazzles VERY LIGHT. PARTNER ABREBRECHA
ALREADY BLOWING WIND AND WATER TO BE
FRIGHT BEFORE THE DOG IS
TAKE THE Meade.
CHICKEN OR OLD MAKES THESE PEOPLE OR LEAVE THE CULEQUERA. Try
you to interpret what he meant in this song Ali.
And sing that way, by writing songs and making music telling the truths of our misery, Ali was persecuted, he made attempts on his life, until he finally managed to kill him one day, your body, but not their ideology, not his love for Venezuela, not far from his thinking and his work full of poetry, love, hopes and dreams for a homeland GOOD.
