Moliendo Cafe (Grinding cafe)

Artist: Alebrijes

Album: Deep and Mysterious Andean Music

Song Length: 3:34

George's Thoughts: This is an okay Samba tune but a little softer than I generally like. The strict-tempo version based on Azucar Moreno's adaptation makes good use of splitting the beat throughout so it's a good song for teaching situations. Vocals in Spanish.

Song Lyrics:

Cuando la noche languidece renacen las sombras
y entonces los cafetales comienzan a sentir.
Se oye una canciÛn de la vieja molienda
y en el letargo de la noche parece gemir.

Una queja de amor, una tristeza
que cantan Emmanuel en su amargura
y paso el resto de la noche moliendo cafÈ.
