Socavon - Quitate de mi Escalera
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It comes from Columbia. It comes from long ago, it manifests itself now and echos the future. I can hear so much of humanity/the world's different cultures in it. What comes to mind metaphorically is the fact that there was once a super continent that scientists call "Columbia", which seems fitting. Here is wikipedia's entry, it's your job to hear/see where I coming from or to dismiss my thoughts as that of a crazy man washing his cat with a sponge whilst listening to world music:
"Columbia is estimated to have been about 12,900 kilometres from North to South, and about 4,800 km across at its broadest part. The east coast of India was attached to western North America, with southern Australia against western Canada. Most of South America spun so that the western edge of modern-day Brazil lined up with easternNorth America, forming a continental margin that extended into the southern edge of Scandinavia."
