Salgo a caminar un dia domingo Saco mi guitarra y un gorrito Paso por el parque veo los niños Miro su alegria y me repito: Oyeme compadre Tomalo con calma Que la vida es corta Y la felicidad no es llegar primero Siempre habra un amigo Que te ayude a verlo Para recordar En tiempos malos hay que mirar al cielo Coro Parcerooo! Verse 2 Durederunde… Sincero mi hermano yo entiendo tu miedo Ven dame la mano perdonar podemos Entrego con calma el Corazon lleno De alegria y cantando pues somos un pueblo Sigue caminando el mismo sendero Para despertarnos en un mismo sueño Entrego con calma el Corazon lleno De alegria cantando pues somos un pueblo CORO Sincero Sincero soy…(bis)

Te Cantare Coro Te cantare hasta el dia en que puedas volver Caminare con la alegria de verte de nuevo (BIS) Verso Bailando en el coche Guitarra, la chelas El vino y amigos El parque, la negra hablando de sexo la fiesta en el rio Verso Palo santo se a quemado ya La Luna se fijado y asi fue Es la hora de enfrentarlo A este destino que Hoy nos obliga a crecer Coro Te Cantare… Caminare…. Hoy quiero verte Yo quiero verte de Nuevo… Entre recuerdos de arena Tu amor me dejo su huella Vivo esperando el momento Cuando te abraze en mi puerta

Yo Soy Verso 1 Oye Pedrito Martinez Yo pase por Nueva York Pero tu estabas muy lejos Para tocar tu tambor Amaneciendo alla en Cali Y derecho al atardecer Hay recorde que la vida es solo dar y querer CORO Oye yo soy.. Vida raza entera y corazon dia alegre recuerdo del sol Brisa flor entera y un cantor Mi familia alma y tradicion Verso 2 Antes de la rumba en Lima Yo pase por Bogota Recordando Barranquilla Con mi hermano y mi cuña Celebramos pues vida Es un instante no mas Mejor vivir cantando Que otro dia llegara Oye yo soy.. Vida raza entera y corazon dia alegre recuerdo del sol Brisa flor entera y un cantor Mi familia alma y tradicion Oye yo soy amor Ehh Latinoamerica es una oye los tambora la guaracha y la marimba que el amor todo lo puede cuando hay decision

Vuelve a Nacer Verso 1 Historias de Guerra lleva el viento violencia que calla el Corazon Nuestra pena es profunda en el tiempo La alegria nuestra salvacion Y yo solo quiero No ser extranjero A toda esta duda y su temor Que esta humilde tierra Olvide banderas y desaparesca su rencor Precoro Oye hermano mira lejos en tus manos se escucha una voz que te llena te da aliento para levantarse con valor es el cambio viene lento pero a paso firme y con amor solo queda desarmarnos hoy Coro 1 Desarmarnos hoy Para amarnos hoy Verso 2 Y que la semilla riege el campo Y la esperanza vuelva a crecer Asi vamos todos caminando Desde el Amazonas a San Andres Por que esta vida es muy bonita Vuelve a Nacer Hay yo le canto a mi mujer Vuelve a nacer Que Colombia sienta alegria Vuelve a nacer Volvamos todos a creer Vuelve, Sueña, Vive. Goza!! Vuelve!! English Translation Verse 1 The wind brings war stories Violence that blinds our hearts Our tears are deep But our happiness our salvation Prechorus I don’t want to be a foreigner To all this anger and pain Let this humble land forgets flags And may any resentments disappear Coro Brother Listen, Look beyond, In your hands lives a voice That will heal you To stand up with courage Its is change, its coming slowly But with strong steps and love We only need to Disarm ourselves today So we can love ourselves today Verse 2 Let the seed spread through the fields And hope grow again We will all walk together From Amazonas to San Andres Because life is beautiful I also sing to the woman And to Colombia to feel joy again Lets believe again

about

This International collaboration between Aria-nominated Oscar Jimenez (Watussi/Amaru Tribe) and Afro-Colombian group, Phonoclorica is a celebration of cultural connection stretching across oceans.

From Bogota to Melbourne, Phonocloria’s polished five-piece ensemble enriched with Jimenez’s joyful relationship to his South American roots, tells a story of bonds that extend to form the foundation of friendship, extending into the community, as we unite to work through the global issues we face. This idea is highlighted by violin virtuoso and artist QVLN (USA) on the track ‘Parcero’, which translates from the Colombian vernacular as ‘mate’.

The four tracks are uplifting, inspiring and reflect Oscar’s love for Colombian dance and folklore, which gives the listener a sense that no matter what is happening, everything will be ok. While both artists have their own contemporary style, the Latin-jazz arrangements on this EP give the songs a modern pop sound, appealing to diverse listeners across the world.

This project came to life during the COVID-19 pandemic, which allowed the work to be continued after initially recording these tracks in Bogota in 2016, during the time of the country’s Peace Process.
The International Song Writing Competition (ISC) awarded Jimenez winner in the Latin Category for a song that came out of that 2016 session called, ‘Vuelve a Nacer’ and he was also awarded the
coveted prize in 2012 with his song, ‘Isabela’. This new material is nothing short of the quality we have come to expect from this multi-talented singer/songwriter and these tracks reflect a maturity and growth with messages of positivity for a changing world.
