Al Fondo Hay Sitio

El Carreta Jorge Perez's song 'Al Fondo Hay Sitio' paints a vivid picture of a chaotic and colorful journey on a public bus, specifically the line 120, which is humorously compared to the famous Paris-Dakar rally due to its numerous stops and unpredictable nature. The lyrics describe a micro (a small bus) that takes passengers wherever they need to go, provided the brakes are working. This sets the stage for a wild ride filled with a diverse cast of characters and unexpected events.

The song captures the essence of urban life, highlighting the mix of people one encounters on public transportation. From singers and beggars to guitarists and pickpockets, the bus becomes a microcosm of society. The mention of various scents, from Coco Chanel perfume to the smell of Parmesan cheese, adds to the sensory overload and chaotic atmosphere. The lyrics also touch on the struggles and small victories of daily life, such as the humorous incident of a pickpocket managing to steal without removing the victim's pants.

'El Carreta' uses humor and vivid imagery to convey the unpredictability and vibrancy of city life. The repeated phrase 'Pero al fondo hay sitio' (But there's room at the back) serves as a metaphor for finding space and making do in a crowded, bustling environment. The song is a celebration of resilience and adaptability, capturing the spirit of those who navigate the complexities of urban living with a sense of humor and resourcefulness.
