Happy Tuesday, Hive friends. Happy Tuesday, music lovers of the world. Today is Tuesday, and it's the best day to share and listen to good music on this platform.

Today I wanted to set aside my selection of music made by women to talk about the group Rawayana and their new album, which they just released and is titled ¿Dónde es el after? (Where is the after party?), obviously alluding to who stays after the party, what we do, where we go.
This album has 23 songs, an hour of pure music, and excellent collaborations with Elena Rose, Joaquina, Justin Quiles, Servando y Florentino, Carín León, and the group Frontera. Among my favorites are Domingo familiar, Si te picas es porque eres tú, Bienvenidos a la tierra, Qué rico PR, Inglés en Miami, Naguará, Debería ser feriado, and Tonada para ella. In short: all of them!

But today I'll share three that have been stuck in my head since the album came out.
The first song is a collaboration with Elena Rose entitled Naguará. First, we already know about the perfect musical chemistry between Elena and Beto, Rawayana's lead singer, which has been clearly demonstrated in other collaborations. And second, we also know how Rawayana uses Venezuelan colloquial speech in all their songs, and this one is no exception. It uses the popular expression from Lara that expresses amazement and surprise, Naguará, in a song about love, encounters, and sex.
The second track, Inglés en Miami, is full of humor (very characteristic of Rawayana's music) and is about a Venezuelan girl who goes to Miami to study English. It pokes fun at snobbery, flirting, and long-distance love. I laugh a lot when I listen to it. The same thing happens to me with Domingo familiar.
The third and final piece of music I want to share with you is Tonada por ella. If there's one thing that has made me cry these days, it's this song. Everything that is good and beautiful about my country is in this piece. From the rhythm, in the form of a tonada, to the lyrics and the video, it touches you to the core. If you are Venezuelan and this song doesn't move you, you have no blood in your veins.
Rawayana won a Grammy last year and is the most successful Venezuelan band at the moment, but they can't perform in Venezuela because the government has banned them from entering the country. Perhaps, if things change, we'll be able to sing all of Rawayana's songs at the top of our lungs, especially Si te picas es porque eres tú.
