The Joy of Simple Pleasures in 'El Gustito'

Sasha Sokol's song 'El Gustito' is a celebration of life's simple pleasures and the joy found in everyday moments. The lyrics open with the singer reminiscing about a time when they were singing happily and fell asleep, only to be gently awakened by their mother. This scene paints a picture of a carefree, almost childlike state of contentment, where the singer wishes to linger a bit longer in that moment of joy and connection.

The song then touches on societal expectations, particularly the notion that married men should not indulge in the pleasures of dancing and socializing. Sokol challenges this stereotype by asserting that married men also know how to love and enjoy life, albeit in a more reserved manner. This part of the song highlights the tension between societal norms and personal happiness, suggesting that joy and love are universal experiences that should not be confined by social expectations.

In the final verses, the singer bids farewell with a cheerful tone, leaving behind their 'gustito'—a small token of happiness—for others to enjoy. The use of 'guapango por bulerías,' a fusion of Mexican and Spanish musical styles, adds a cultural richness to the song, emphasizing the shared human experience of finding joy in music and dance. Sokol's 'El Gustito' is a heartfelt reminder to cherish the simple moments and to find happiness in the everyday, regardless of societal constraints.
