This is a cumbia/salsa song that we used to play often live. It translates as 'God bless us all.' The majority of the song was written in 5 minutes, it just came out in a magical moment on guitar and vocals. We then added the guaguanco and guaracha sections to fill it out with the band. This was an early recording that we left pretty raw, we almost left it off the record, but it is too good a song to leave out.
