Aunque Te Escondas

The song 'Aunque Te Escondas' by Duo Coplanacu is a vibrant expression of traditional Argentine folk music, known as folklore. The lyrics invite listeners to engage in a dance, specifically mentioning the 'escondido,' which is a traditional Argentine dance. The song's title, which translates to 'Even If You Hide,' suggests a playful game of hide and seek that occurs within the dance itself.

The lyrics describe the movements and the rhythm of the dance, with references to the 'bombo repiqueteao' (a drum with a resonant sound) and the act of dancing with a partner. The dance is depicted as a communal activity where men and women interact, with women being coy and affectionate, and men trying to be discreet. The repetition of the phrase 'Y en varias leguas a la redonda, Aunque te escondas, Siempre te hei de hallar' (And for miles around, Even if you hide, I will always find you) emphasizes the inevitability of connection and interaction within the dance, no matter how much one might try to hide.

Duo Coplanacu, known for their dedication to preserving and celebrating the folk music of Argentina, captures the essence of the cultural tradition in this song. The music and lyrics together create an atmosphere that celebrates the joy of dance, community, and the playful interactions that occur within this cultural context. 'Aunque Te Escondas' is not just a song, but an invitation to experience the rich tradition of Argentine folklore through music and movement.
