Mis Sapatos de Blues

JAF's song "Mis Sapatos de Blues" is a heartfelt journey through the artist's musical evolution and self-discovery. The lyrics recount the early days of JAF's life, where he wandered around the outskirts of the big city, forming a deep bond with his guitar. This relationship with his instrument, described as a 'machine infernal,' brought him immense joy and excitement as he played rock and blues. However, despite his passion, he felt something was missing—a deeper understanding or enlightenment, which he refers to as 'the light.'

As time passed, JAF realized that to truly impress and connect with his audience, he needed to find this light. The metaphor of 'calzarse mis zapatos de blues' (putting on my blues shoes) signifies this realization. The blues shoes represent authenticity, emotional depth, and a genuine connection to the music. By embracing the essence of blues, JAF found himself at the threshold of the 'house of blue light,' a symbolic place of artistic and personal fulfillment.

The song also touches on the importance of conveying emotions through music. JAF emphasizes that playing an instrument is not enough; one must be able to transmit feelings to truly resonate with listeners. This message is reinforced by the repeated advice to 'calzarte tus sapatos de blues' (put on your blues shoes) to see the light and share your blues with others. The lyrics reflect on the passage of time, the lessons learned, and the enduring power of emotions, ultimately highlighting that true artistry comes from living and understanding life's experiences through the lens of blues music.
