A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

Certainty: Liber Terán and "Es Cierto"
Unfortunately I have a ton to do today and won't be able to write something deep about this song. Reading a bad translation of the lyrics, Es Cierto appears to be about a love that is lost, sung from the perspective of a person who knows it to be true. We've all been there, especially at that moment when one hangs on the edge of wanting something to still be there, and knowing that it isn't...that sweet agony of the heart just before one turns and walks away forever.
Liber Terán is a founding member and former lead singer and guitarist of the Mexican band Los de Abajo, which focused on Latin ska, rock, salsa. reggae, cumbia, Son Jarocho and banda sinaloense. As a solo artist, Terán has expanded his repertoire to explore classic rock and roll and Balkan influences. Es Cierto is from his 2008 CD El Gitano Western.
