My parents used to tell me stories about the one time they went to his concert, and one of their friends kept requesting \u201cOjal\u00e1!\u201d (one of his most popular songs) by yelling the title constantly from the audience. It wasn\u2019t until my junior year of high school that I actually listened to his music and fell in love with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>His songs feature intricate classical guitar riffs and even more intricate lyrics, which in my opinion are more similar to poetry than any other genre of music. I could genuinely spend hours listening to any song of his over and over. Though love is the major theme in most of his music, his work is also ingrained in a Cuban political context which he brings forward in anti-capitalism, anti-colonization, and anti-war sentiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silvio Rodr\u00edguez is a perfect example of how Latin American art rarely exists outside of political context, so if you\u2019re a Spanish learner, I urge you to check him out for a dose of Latin American culture and new Spanish vocabulary. Overall, just check him out if you are in need of incredibly good music to listen to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of my favorite songs by Silvio, as well as my favorite lyrics from each one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ojal\u00e1\" width=\"525\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JB8c9deYEfE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ojal\u00e1 pase algo que te borre de pronto<br>Una luz cegadora, un disparo de nieve<br>Ojal\u00e1 por lo menos que me lleve la muerte<br>Para no verte tanto, para no verte siempre<br>En todos los segundos, en todas las visiones<br>Ojal\u00e1 que no pueda tocarte ni en canciones<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Silvio Rodr\u00edguez - Oleo De Una Mujer Con Sombrero [HD]\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zg1U3fzsiqI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>La cobard\u00eda es asunto<br>De los hombres, no de los amantes<br>Los amores cobardes no llegan a amores<br>Ni a historias, se quedan all\u00ed<br>Ni el recuerdo los puede salvar<br>Ni el mejor orador conjugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Silvio Rodr\u00edguez - Te doy una canci\u00f3n\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vw9pIQCMQfM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Te doy una canci\u00f3n y hago un discurso<br>Sobre mi derecho a hablar<br>Te doy una canci\u00f3n con mis dos manos<br>Con las mismas de matar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Te doy una canci\u00f3n y digo: &#8220;patria!<br>Y sigo hablando para ti<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist Reccomendation: Silvio Rodr\u00edguez 60s\/70s Cuban singer-songwriter Silvio Rodr\u00edguez was a household name while I was growing up.
