Estetograma (feat. Daymé Arocena)
AlcolirykoZ
A Melancholic Homage to Ancestral Roots and Loss
The song "Estetograma" by AlcolirykoZ, featuring Daymé Arocena, is a poignant reflection on solitude, the end of an era, and the remembrance of a beloved figure who has passed away. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of nostalgia and the struggle to cope with the absence of someone deeply cherished. The repeated question of how to live with one's loneliness and how to begin the end suggests a journey of coming to terms with loss and the void it leaves behind.
The verses paint a vivid picture of a humble home with red and yellow tiles, a place where life flourished and where the presence of the departed was a source of joy and comfort. The mention of Daymé Arocena, a Cuban singer known for her Afro-Cuban jazz style, brings a cultural richness to the song, as she is invited to sing an 'alabao' - a traditional Afro-Cuban funeral chant - paying tribute to the ancestors and the spiritual legacy they have left behind. The song's imagery evokes the warmth and generosity of the person being remembered, whose hands worked magic and who shared everything they had, even when it was barely enough.
The song also touches on the themes of heritage and the impact of the deceased on the living. The lyrics speak of inheriting stubborn habits and the noble character of the loved one, as well as the struggle to maintain integrity in a world full of corruption. The closing lines suggest a belief in an afterlife or a spiritual reunion, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the sorrow of separation. "Estetograma" is a heartfelt tribute that resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of losing someone integral to their life and identity.
