Track:Hanal Weech
In all the preparation of our baby's room, we lost track of a CD purchased some time ago, but have found it! The tune is Hanal Weech, sung in Mayan and Spanish (I think.) The lyrics tell the story of a man who thinks his girlfriend smells like an armadillo, done to a cumbia rhythm. "lyrics: You, beautiful womaneven though you are very attractivethe day will come, when I will leave youbecause you smell like the armadilloYou know why I always remember youyou know why I can't forget you":http://www.lyricsmania.com/lyrics/lila_downs_lyrics_28753/other_lyrics_59260/hanal_weech_lyrics_598211.htmlLila is the daughter of a Mixtec Indian woman and Anglo father, and has lived in Oaxaca. The Mexican cumbio rhythym is common, and apparently originated in Colombia.
