Paz
by Mauricio Venegas-Astorga
A fast-tempo melody. The traditional sound of Cuban Son in this song has the powerful African rhythms of the Gambian sabars running under as an "Atlantic current". The eclectic mix continues with Andean panpipes, flutes and a solo from the Celtic harp. The lyrics demand "peace for humanity", with Gambian Wolof being used in addition to the Spanish of the verses.
