about

Our very first original ... This was probably the third song we learned. The very first version of this song still exists on Neil's computer, entitled "Latin 1," created 8/12/2007 at 4:17pm. Was that the real birth of La Unica? Who knows. So Neil brought his Garage Band version of "Latin 1" to rehearsal. Much to Neil's surprise, Gonzo learned the violin melody, modified it a bit, and added these phenomenal lyrics to the song! To develop the melody a little bit, Neil added a second melody line, much like an Irish reel would have-- A part, repeat, B part repeat. Putting this original song together was really a true joy because it just got better each time we played it. Adding percussion, adding lyrics, adding the bridge (thanks Cory!), adding the full drum set, and finally recording it. This was the original "Chieftains meets the Gipsy Kings" sort of sound we were looking for with the guitar rhythm-- when we started we had more of a folk-ish sound than we do now. Also, production note-- Gonzo usually plays the Mexican standoff melody you hear played on trumpet, but we wanted to give it a real authentic "Three Amigos" sound for the album (not sure what else to reference ...). Even in those early stages, when we weren't really playing this song that well and our sound wasn't complete, we really thought we had something there and persevered, even in front of some tough audiences! Thanks to our great fans, that's certainly less of a concern these days ... But we love playing this song, and always anticipate the "ha!" at the end ... I think we have a recording somewhere of Producer Matt yelling "Ole!" during one of our rehearsals of Caminante. Enjoy!

lyrics

1
Pasó una mañana
Por enfrente a mi ventana
Derrochando encanto
Repartiendo amor
Y yo prisionero
Con mi vista embarrotada
El silencio como cobija
Y el olvido como colchón
2
Por mi doble condena
De mirarla cada mañana
Encerrado aquí en mi celda
Me pesa la vida un montón
En mis fantasías
Yo me escapo por la tarde
En su regazo me escondo
Y le entrego mi corazón
Puente
Entonces llega la soledad
Me ataca, sin ninguna piedad
Creo que pierdo mi corazón
El alma y la razón
3
¡Ah! Caminante de mis amores
Muñeca fantasmal
Que me huele a libertad
¡Ah! Si no me muero
Condenado por mis pecados
Buscaré tu amor (Bis)
