Between altars of the dead and typical food, we can not forget another of the
most representative things of Mexico: music.<\/h3>\n
D\u00eda de Muertos also has a rhythm<\/strong> and this traditional Mexican celebration cannot take place without music. For this reason, he has compiled those that he considers the songs that cannot be missed on this date. <\/p>\n Some of them bring us the memory of songs we hear from childhood as ‘Tumbas por aqu\u00ed, tumbas por all\u00e0’ or ‘La Llorona’, songs that in one way or another can not be left out. <\/p>\n Well, this Mexican tradition can not fail to be celebrated without the variety of Day of the Dead songs that accompany us year after year to celebrate death. Death, so present in our lives, is manifest in these memorable and funny songs. <\/p>\n 5 Ways to Celebrate the Day of the Dead with Xcaret: What will the Festival of Life and Death be like in 2021?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n 1. The Weeping One<\/strong> We start slowly with this sleep istme\u00f1o that has certainly been immortalized with the voice of Chavela Vargas, who transformed it into a song that one can not stop listening. They refer us to the story of that woman abandoned by a man and who killed her children, repentant, wandering forever looking for them and crying for them, their dead. It is impossible to hear the phrase “I do not know what the flowers have, weeping, the flowers of the holy field\u2026” without shivering. <\/p>\n 2. La Calaca<\/strong> As if thrown from a skull, this song warns in an entertaining way about the presence of death –<\/em><\/strong>the calaca–<\/em><\/strong> that goes around by the Pantheon of Dolores to take to the tomb to composers, journalists, licensed and doctors. All the (stop some) contradictory laughter we can cause death in Mexico, compressed into five minutes of song. <\/p>\n 3. Cleto closed his eyes<\/strong> The memorable and very funny song performed by the great Regina Orozco tells the story of the death of a man named Cleto gives rise to this peculiar song that shows that in Mexico we can laugh at death: \u201cI think that Cleto deliberately he died, for what he gave he never paid. ” <\/p>\n 4. One Death<\/strong> Sung in an indigenous dialect “Uno Muerte” refers to this pre-Hispanic Mexico in which he was already revered to death. Hypnotic, Lila Downs \u2019voice leads us to a place that turns out to be strangely warm, while a drum resounds and we hear words that we don\u2019t understand, but that catch us, captivate us, lift us up, drag us down. Get caught up in this song as you adorn your altar. <\/p>\n 5. Skulls and Devils<\/strong> The ska cre\u00f3 group is a song that is a hymn to survival that describes that love and death are both individual and collective. Lyrics are clear and strong as an oath: “I don’t want to die without first having loved, but I don’t want to die of love either.” <\/p>\n 6. Kiss of the Dead<\/strong> The song of this peculiar folk rock group explores the feelings caused by the absence of a person who ends up leading to oblivion: “What does the kiss of the dead know, of someone who is a memory\u2026” Dark and lucid at the same time, it is like a strange whisper that arises from the memory produced in our memory by those who have already left our lives. <\/p>\n 7. The Coconut<\/strong> This group of Mexican musicians knows how to rescue the folk roots of our country and Latin America. In this song they transmit through poetry and music an unmissable piece that narrates how the catrina also knows how to dance the jarocho sound: \u201cI sang to him at night, I sang to him by day, damned parca, how it moved\u201d. <\/p>\n 8. Cempas\u00fachil<\/strong> If there\u2019s one song that encompasses the meaning of the flower that is associated with Day of the Dead, it\u2019s this one. Cheerful, but with a certain melancholy, the song speaks of offerings, of the altars and of the colorful garden. Yes, music that blooms in our ears while the living remember the dead. <\/p>\n 9. My Dead<\/strong> One of the most relevant voices in Mexican territory will perform this song to remind us that people who have died will always accompany us: “We will be together here or in the afterlife.” Let yourself be embraced by this melody remembering your dead. <\/p>\n 10. Ladybug<\/strong> Between the Caifanes and death it seems they have more than one simple connection. There are several songs in which this is present, as in the masterful “Ladybug” with this initial phrase that hurts as it hurts death, as it hurts life: “Heavens with what pain, said a brown heron, there are dead who no. they make noise and their sorrows are greater. ” <\/p>\n Valley when you may be interested in: <\/em><\/strong>7 SKULLS TO DEDICATE THIS DAY OF THE DEAD<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Now there is no excuse not to set the rhythm for the Day of the Dead, which this year this tradition accompanies you with the best songs to dance, honor and enjoy our beautiful Mexicanness.<\/p>\n What other Day of the Dead songs do you know? <\/p>\n\n
