good afternoon and welcome to a video in which I want to interpret for you "The axles of my cart" by Atahualpa Yupanqui and those of you who still don't know this great artist may be wondering: who was Atahualpa Yupanqui? Atahualpa Yupanqui was actually called Héctor Roberto Chavero Aramburo, but since his father had Quechua blood, he decided to choose a pseudonym in this language "ATA" means "come" "HU", "from afar" "ALPA" means "land" and " YUPANQUI", "count, narrate" so, in Quechua, "Atahualpa Yupanqui" means "he who came from afar to tell or narrate stories" this great artist was a composer, singer, guitarist, writer, poet, singer-songwriter and Argentine payador Payador because the payada is a musical poetic art of the Hispanic culture, since we can find it in the Cuban repentismo, in the Alpujarra trovo, the Galician regueifa, in the bertsolaris of the Basque Country, it cannot be a coincidence that his mother was also Basque and this art is based on dialectical discussion; that is, just like in rap they do cockfights "You got nervous because of my smile, who is the dominant and who is the submissive?" they answer each other by rhyming verses but also Atahualpa Yupanqui created a unique style halfway between the spoken word, recited, and cante, also accompanying himself on his guitar Edith Piaf discovered Atahualpa Yupanqui in Paris and invited him to sing with her in a club and this song that I want to perform for you is a milonga, it has the lyrics of Romildo Risso, who is a Uruguayan, music by Atahualpa Yupanqui and it comes to describe the philosophy, the gaucho lifestyle that those who lived on the plains, in the fields, they were usually horsemen; that is to say, as the cowboys in the USA treated and raised cattle, leather... it was a solitary lifestyle and that is why behind it it says "because I don't grease the axles they call me abandoned if I like them to sound , why do I want them greased? that is to say, the cart is a symbol of each one's life and of how each one of us wants to live if I like my life as I live it and as I feel it, why do you have to tell me how to live it? do i have to live? If I like the sound of the axles of the cart, why do I want them greased? is highlighting his will to live in his own way, as each one wants to live, in short, claiming freedom with that final verse "I will never grease the axles of my cart" I hope you like my version for guitar if it is So, you can subscribe, give me a like, tell me what you think, if you like Atahualpa Yupanqui and you can share the YouTube link with your friends, thank you very much for watching The axles of my cart because I don't grease the axles they call me abandoned because I don't grease them axles they call me abandoned if I like them to sound, why do I want them greased? If I like them to sound, why do I want them greased? it's too boring to go on and on the trail it's too boring to go on and on the trail too long the path without anything to entertain me too long the path without anything to entertain me I don't need silence I don't have to think about I don't need silence I don't have in what to think I had but for a long time now I don't think anymore I had but for a long time now I don't think anymore the axles of my cart I will never grease them
