Es o No Es Gaita
Koquimba
Is It or Is It Not Gaita
Here comes the koquimba, my people
If it sounds like this, this ain't gaita
Our people are aware
Of what is gaita and what isn't gaita
But if it sounds like this
Traditional, with texture
Don't come
Telling me this ain't the
Pure gaita
If it sounds like this, this ain't gaita
Our people are aware
Of what is gaita and what isn't gaita
But if it sounds like this
Traditional, with texture
Don't come
Telling me this ain't the
Pure gaita
It hits your head and sounds
Its essence so ancient
The bad use of metals
And the timbales
But the people aren't fooled
When it comes to appreciating
What is modern gaita
And what is traditional
If it sounds like this, this ain't gaita
Our people are aware
Of what is gaita and what isn't gaita
But if it sounds like this
Traditional, with texture
Don't come
Telling me this ain't the
Pure gaita
If it sounds like this, this ain't gaita
Our people are aware
Of what is gaita and what isn't gaita
But if it sounds like this
Traditional, with texture
Don't come
Telling me this ain't the
Pure gaita
Gaita is like my style
Joyful and lively
It's aged like wine
Because the older, the better
And the stylized gaita
Is like a woman
No matter how well she's doing
She never wants to age
If it sounds like this, this ain't gaita
Our people are aware
Of what is gaita and what isn't gaita
But if it sounds like this
Traditional, with texture
Don't come
Telling me this ain't the
Pure gaita
If it sounds like this, this ain't gaita
Our people are aware
Of what is gaita and what isn't gaita
But if it sounds like this
Traditional, with texture
Don't come
Telling me this ain't the
Pure gaita
This is koquimba
May God bless the fate
Of the gaita I love so much
Glory to the Father, glory to the Son
Glory to the Holy Spirit
Gaita is a Hallelujah that
Stimulates the heart
It's as much mine as it is yours
Long live the tradition
If it sounds like this, this ain't gaita
Our people are aware
Of what is gaita and what isn't gaita
But if it sounds like this
Traditional, with texture
Don't come
Telling me this ain't the
Pure gaita
If it sounds like this, this ain't gaita
Our people are aware
Of what is gaita and what isn't gaita
But if it sounds like this
Traditional, with texture
Don't come
Telling me this ain't the
Pure gaita
