Hay un barco flotando en el río,
se dice que el frío lo trajo hasta aquí
El timón se partió hace ya un tiempo y ahora es el viento el que tira de él
No hay patrón, no hay bandera, ni un rastro siquiera de quien lo gobernó
Pero allá donde brota la corriente,
lo busca la gente

Dime lo que quieres, dime la verdad
dime lo que buscas sin saber nadar
Dime lo que has visto, en tu navegar
Dime: qué esperabas al llegar?

Hay un joven perdido entre la gente
me mira de frente, buscando una señal
Cualquier cosa es mejor que la guerra, pero ahora se estrella contra la verdad
La esperanza se hundió en aquel barco
y al cruzar el charco, algo cambió en él.
Se dejó la mitad de quien era olvidada en su tierra, para no volver

El barco

Smooth!

Don't think I'd heard of Ivory Joe Hunter, thanks!

Just looked him up: Rhythm and blues singer/songwriter (and, inevitably, pianist) ... lived 1914-1974 ... The Baron of Boogie ... wrote over 7,000 songs.

Maybe most memorable factoid: "Ivory Joe" was his real name; at birth, his parents said he "looked just like the baby on the outside of the Castoria Ivory bottle." (Apparently a children's laxative?)

Professor Longhair combined musical influences in the 1940s, creating exciting music with his piano virtuosity while building the foundation of #funk music in #NewOrleans. Influenced many, like Dr. John. More of his songs and info later in this seasonal thread.

"Black or white, local or out-of-town, they all had Longhair's music in common. Just that mambo-rhumba boogie thing."
— Allen Toussaint

Flowing piano riffs over percussive horn section. You know how to whistle don't you?
