La Malagueña Salerosa 🎶 Camino Musical

Artist: Elsa Ayllon Vega SzeinfeldOriginal Recording Date: circa 1969On this day (March 4), the 21st anniversary of my mother's transition, I would like to give her a tribute. Elsa Maria Policarpa Ayllon Vega Szeinfeld was a gifted musician from Ecuador. Sadly, there are no professional recordings of my mom performing. Thankfully, there are at least home recordings of her performing on either the piano, the guitar, or the accordion, along with singing. She also played the harp and the organ. She composed her own music and lyrics. She was a poet, a writer, and an artist. I will be highlighting her recordings here on UNO Camino Musical - through UNO Souls.This piece is called La Malagueña Salerosa. This song is about a woman from Málaga, Spain. Lawrence J.J. Leonard wrote this in his blog: This song is a well-known “Son Huasteco” song from Mexico. It is in the public domain the same way the famous song, Cielito Lindo, is and also is very well-known in the Americas. Incidentally, Elpidio Ramírez registered the lyrics in 1947. However the song was already known as a type of “Huapango” which is a type of song written “long before the construction of the Cathedral of Huejutla.” In other words, it was already a well-known ballad. So, there seems to be no real claim to the song for Ramirez.One thing that I know for sure, is that music is the universal language of love. Music is a connector, especially now. The post prompt is "What's on your mind?" Well, a lot... but at this present moment I am feeling joy because I found the memory drive with my mom's musical recordings.🎼 Although the recordings are not high quality, I am grateful to have them. I will post her recordings on UNO Camino Musical - through @unosoulsUNO Souls is a wellbeing organization that centers and nurtures each person so they may blossom into their fuller self.  ✨
