This is one of my favorite songs of Disney, I have to say that Spanish versions of the songs are different from the English one and those are the ones that I grew up with, I hope that you like it and that you can share to others so they can know how these songs sound in Spanish!

This song speaks about taking things on a relaxed manner, making awareness on the fact that nature is wired to give you abundance and that there's no scarcity on the abundant garden of life when you walk on a natural flowstate.

@piedrademar is making the voices that answers the bear in the scene, we had so much fun recording and preparing the scene 😸 ❣️

Happy to share music, specially in this times of tension, and to be able to make some impact trough web3 tools, what a ride.

few days back i got a video from a friend playing this song, and it was so great to see him making this song of him aswell, this is a beautiful phenomena happening with this song on my local, my friends sees themselves as farmers of no winter's land, there might be at least 5 versions of this song, the purpose of songwriter performance artist is to seed in the minds of people the awakening seeds.

with this song I was able to visit de amazon for the first time with my friends in 2020, as we splitted the 2nd prize of the Harvest Finance Creative contest that helped us to afford the goal that we have in common, studying ancestral medicines and culture of the Huottoja Community in The Venezuelan Amazon.

i've decided to mint as my first NFT ever, given it's meaning for both my digital and local communities, inspiring positive images and sharing the fire of love

Roots theme song for this week: No winter's land

a song inspired by Harvest Finance DeFi Contest where the Theme of that contest was "Surviving a Harsh Winter"

wich brought me up so much questions, because you see, where i live, there's no winter

decided to participate i started to look for inspiration on winter, union, fire and it's worth saying there was a 24h deadline for said contest when i got aware of it, so in order to collaborate with the universe and in the most conceptual way as possible to express we don't have winter, what we have is fire, i decided to call on all my local artist friends and see who was available to not only participate with me, but to get them interested into the oportunities of using web3 as a tool for independent artist to raise independent music with meaning.

so there we are, 4 of us Venezuelan artist friends talking about the song when suddenly my friend Queipo picked up a poem he just made the night before about some farmers living in a land of no Winter.... i mean...

what are the odds?

the poem was a great root for the song and in record time i wrote a song where each parragraph is inspired in one line of the poem of my friend, and for the first time i added some english lyrics to an original song, looking to close the gap between the song's message and the international audience of the web3 world.

even speaking the same language we miss the substance in each other words when we communicate, music is a media of expression that emphasizes and puts feelings above words, making of it an universal languaje.

i feel gratitude to find my community in a multilingual community who builds bridges for bridges

So, this is a multipurpose song, depending on the listener:

if you're Venezuelan, doesn't matter where you are in the world, but specially in cold places: this song is for you to remember, you have a fire within, inextinguishable

if you're a web3 native: this song was to participate with a ReFi concept into a DeFi contest, long before ReFi existed as one of the main concepts to define **"Connecting roots to the wireless" ** wich makes him a ReFi song, talking about seeds in different dimensions, tangible and metaphisical, so we can visualize for the long term together, remembering that in order to survive a winter, crypto or IRL, union is a non-negotiable variable

if you're an artist: this song is for you, to remember you're one of the farmers of no winter's land, settling and sending the fire of love anytime you share a message aligned to the long term visions of your local.

and for all the farmers of no winter's land connecting roots to the wireless, keep away from FOMO and HODL the VIBE!

Here's the song lyrics:

chorus: We are the farmers of No-Winter's land, settling(sending) the fire of love.

Today's song is inspired on ancestral knowledge and meant to be a compass for the web3 native on this sea of potential.

Web3 + Music can serve a purpose of social impact, and today you will read about how the journey of a Venezuelan Bankless artist had impact on the Amazon by using web3 as a way to intertwine ancestral and modern sinthesis for a present filled of meaning for everybody who tune in with this.

Of course, this is not a journey he has taken alone, along the way (7 years) he has met wonderful human beings across digital and phisical dimensions that supports him on his way connecting roots to the wireless.

Long story short: Now you can donate to the Huottoja Community and if you do till July 12 you can upgrade your regen score

Today's entry it's a special one where i have the joy to share a song with my love @piedrademar who will be sharing with us music soon, i know this is a great way to introduce her to the platform and motivate her to share more of her beautiful voice and music with us for upcoming weeks. We're working together on The Huottoja Community project, seeing the intersection of music x social impact x web3.

This song is inspired by the four agreements, sinthesis of information inspired by the Toltecs, an ancestral Community from Mexico that within these 4 agreements condensed the code of conduct that today we share with you in the form of "Smart Contract", an original song that serves as medicine for both the artist and the listeners in a search for purpose and direction that only our inner journey can show to us. The smartest of contracts is the one that we first make with ourselves.

1) Be impeccable with your word.

2) Don't take anything personally.

3) Don't make assumptions.

4) Always do your best.

And it feels aligned for me to share this song for this contest in the same moment i'm promoting this crowfunding for the Huottoja Community to construct it's multipurpose houses and covering part of their neccesities so they can share with us more of their traditions and ways, wich have been preserved and have been out of the modern loophole and that now more than ever are needed to integrate into today's coordination challenges of the modern society, where a sinthesis between the "Roots and the Wireless" -as I like to call it- can lead to the better usage of these technologies for a purpose of nutrition and balance with nature.

So i will be promoting the Huottoja Community Project across different spaces on web2 and web3 while i share this song on live performance and while i also promote the NFT version of it, a Studio version recorded about a month ago traveling and teaching about web3 to the whole production chain, now they're all winning a % of it AND you can have a studio version into your wallet !!

Cyborgh Amish Seeking Balance, Connecting Roots to the Wireless, Keep Away from FOMO and HODL the VIBE

Web3 has meant an exponential growth in my journey. Since I started doing digital concerts on Discord about 7 years ago, the concept of "Digital Street Music" has been forming in my consciousness as the pursuit of equivalent exchange with other individuals in terms that allow an exploration of the here and now in artistic spaces, as well as a playful dynamic between music and conversation whose axes also go to philosophy and web3.

I'm a musician, I live for music, and I'm constantly generating resources through it not only because I'm stubborn with a dream and the will to achieve it through unconventional means, but also because that constant translates into evolution for all dimensions I inhabit.

Currently, I am a digital and local being. I have focused on the creative process of calibrating technique with the organic, roots with the wireless, and that is the purpose that music and art serve in this type of technology. I call this "Cyborg Amish Seeking Balance," presenting a duality that resides in me and in you, our connected side to natural times and another that seeks the automation of processes.

This invokes a question: What is the middle ground between the automatic and the natural? And I have that question because working in a technical and digital world from a format like music, you appreciate the synthetic dimensions that humans have shown possible in visible reality, and I see a problem, I distinguish the absence of roots in the values of projects that only for that reason end up being short-sighted. Modern technology requires the debate of technological obsolescence, either because we understand that finite resources on Earth are running out, out of respect for the inhabitants who for thousands of years did not extract resources from these areas, or simply because we acquire the awareness that this earthly plane will be the home of our descendants. Are we going to hand it over to our grandchildren in the long term out of love or fear?

This leads me to a variety of topics, such as diversity, and I can applaud the struggles for diversity in the world, but before wanting to move forward, we would need to talk thoroughly and with the same normalization of the diversity of our indigenous peoples, as well as the awareness of how our relationship with them as a modern society has been and how we can bring it to a point of metamodernism if you want to call it that, or Game B, which is about playing life taking our well-being and that of the earth as infrastructure for the strategies of the here and now.

I also have a flirtation with astrology that comes from a deep childhood curiosity to unravel the mysteries of the universe, and these tools have served as a channel to channel creative energy into a template that allows it to be an alchemical process, embracing the dark and light parts of our colors to paint the universe. And that doesn't mean that sometimes we don't feel like the colors we have are not enough to explain the world or ourselves, or funnier, that they are not "beautiful," a judgment of self-criticism capable of cutting our moment of muse.

The song I bring to you this week is a mix of astrology, drama, and philosophy made into a song, a door to the imaginary that seeks to show the light and the dark, and so we find ourselves in the wisdom that we all laugh, we all cry, and together they generate the energy required to reach the appreciation of the unusual phenomenon that is the fact of being here.

Without further ado, Karma

Karma - José Cabrera

I think it's the most fun song for those who don't speak Spanish, given the playful and universal quality of elements like the breeze and laughter, allowing energy to flow beyond consciousness. I consciously seek to make songs a space to observe high and low peaks of emotion that allow for accompaniment and containment in moments of high and low peaks for me. I hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics

Sometimes I cling so much to the moments
that when they end they cause me pain
And that's my Karma, from dreaming so much.

That time changes everything
That time is transformation
That time is a distance... that changes perception

Your cold, take it away, or don't give me anything.
The eternal dawn watches us in a corner
You danced without distraction the song of death,
our inherent code also became a song.

So much talent your late eyes have,
I die of laughter with all your mental games.
The densest argument now is the breeze
of your values so tender and so natural

I sing and connect the dots in time with rhymes
And you don't know where my nonsense is going
which I manifest often in midday
that give color of my essence to your realities

And sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night,
as if screaming for a color, a clearer tone
that light is also color and musical notes or zodiac signs.
Art is a driver.

Your cold, take it away, or don't give me anything.
The eternal dawn watches us in a corner
You danced without distraction the song of death,
our inherent code also became a song.

So much talent your late eyes have,
I die of laughter with all your mental games.
The densest argument now is the breeze
of your values so tender and so natural

I sing and connect the times in time with rhymes
And you don't know where my nonsense is going
which I manifest often in midday
that give color of my essence to your realities.

Thanks for reading

Español

Han sido días difíciles porque hay construcciones en toda el área y si trabajas con sonidos el nivel de tolerancia debe ser gigante para trabajar y soportar el ruido aleatorio de los taladros, martillos y camiones, lo difícil de esto es que durante el día ha habido pocos espacios de silencio y quería grabar en el día pero no podía salir de casa ya que he estado en diversas transiciones con el trabajo pero también con la alimentación y estar en casa ha sido lo mejor a la par que estresante gracias a todo mi entorno, pero hay momentos así, de construcción, y quiero pensar que así también me está pasando por dentro con todos los cambios físicos y de rutina que voy armando con los días, por suerte tuve un espacio de silencio entre las horas del día y pude grabar la canción de la que les voy a hablar hoy.

Web3 ha significado un crecimiento exponencial en mi camino, desde que empecé a hacer conciertos digitales en Discord hace unos 7 años se fue formando en mi conciencia el concepto de "Música Callejera Digital" como la búsqueda del intercambio equivalente con otros individuos en términos que permiten una exploración del aquí y ahora en los espacios de arte, así como una dinámica lúdica entre la música y la conversación cuyos ejes también van a la filosofía y web3.

Soy músico, vivo por la música, y estoy en la constante de generar recursos a través de ella no solo porque sea un terco con un sueño y la voluntad de lograrlo a través de vías no convencionales, pero que se traduzca esa constante también en evolución para todas las dimensiones que habito.

En la actualidad soy un ser digital y local, me he enfocado en el proceso creativo de calibrar la técnica con lo orgánico, las raíces a lo inalámbrico, y ese es el propósito que cumple la música y el arte en este tipo de tecnología, le digo a esto "Cyborg Amish Seeking Balance" presentando una dualidad que habita en mí y en ti, nuestro lado conectado a los tiempos naturales y otro que busca la automatización de los procesos.

Eso invoca una pregunta: ¿Cuál es el punto medio entre lo automático y lo natural? y tengo esa pregunta porque al trabajar en un mundo técnico y digital desde un formato como la música aprecias las dimensiones sintéticas que el ser humano ha mostrado posibles en la realidad visible y veo un problema, distingo la ausencia de raíces en los valores de proyectos que solo por eso terminan siendo cortoplacistas, la tecnología moderna requiere el debate de obsolescencia tecnológica, bien sea porque entendamos que se están acabando los recursos finitos en la tierra, por respeto a los habitantes que por miles de años no extrajeron recursos de dichas áreas, o simplemente porque adquirimos la conciencia de que este plano terrenal será el hogar de nuestra descendencia. ¿Vamos a cederlo a nuestros nietos en el largo plazo del amor o el miedo?

Esto me lleva a una variedad de temas, como la diversidad, y puedo aplaudir las luchas por la diversidad en el mundo pero antes de querer caminar hacia adelante habría que hablar a cabalidad y con la misma normalización de la diversidad de nuestros pueblos indígenas así como de la concientización de cómo ha sido nuestra relación con ellos como sociedad moderna y cómo podemos llevarla a un punto de metamodernismo si así lo quieres llamar, o Game B que va de jugar la vida tomando el bienestar nuestro y de la tierra como infraestructura de las estrategias del aquí y ahora.

También tengo un coqueteo con la astrología que viene desde una curiosidad infantil profunda por desentrañar los misterios del universo y así mismo estas herramientas han servido como canal para encausar la energía creativa a una plantilla que le permite ser un proceso alquímico, abrazando las partes oscuras y claras de nuestros colores para pintar el universo, y ello no significa que a veces no sintamos como si los colores que tenemos no son suficientes para explicar al mundo o a nosotros mismos, o más gracioso, que no son "bonitos", un juicio de la autocrítica capaz de cortar nuestro momento de musa.

La canción que traigo para ustedes esta semana es una mezcla de astrología, drama y filosofía hecho canción, una puerta al imaginario que busca mostrar lo claro y lo oscuro, y así nos encontremos en la sapiencia de que todos reímos, todos lloramos y juntos generan la energía requerida para llegar a la apreciación del fenómeno insólito que es el hecho de estar aquí.

Con ustedes, Karma

Karma - José Cabrera

Creo que es la canción más divertida para quien no habla español, dada la cualidad lúdica y universal de los elementos como la brisa y la risa, permiten el paso de la energía mas allá de lo consciente. Busco conscientemente de hacer de las canciones un espacio para observar picos altos y bajos de emoción que permitan en mi un acompañamiento y una contención en momentos de picos altos y bajos, espero que sea de tu agrado.

Letra

A veces me aferro tanto a los momentos
que cuando se acaban me causan dolor
Y ese es mi Karma, de tanto soñar.

Que el tiempo todo lo cambia
Que el tiempo es transformación
Que el tiempo es una distancia... que cambia la percepción

Tu frío quítamelo, o no me entregues nada.
La eterna madrugada nos mira en un rincón
Bailabas sin distracción la canción de la muerte,
nuestro código inherente también se hizo canción.

Tanto talento que tienen tus ojos tardíos,
muero de risa con todos tus juegos mentales.
El argumento más denso ahora es la brisa
de tus valores tan tiernos y tan naturales

Canto y conecto los puntos a tiempo con rimas
Y tú no sabes de donde van mis disparates
que manifiesto seguido en los medios días
que dan color de mi esencia a tus realidades

Y a veces despierto en plena madrugada,
como pidiendo a gritos un color, una tonalidad más clara
que luz es también color y notas musicales o signos zodiacales.
El arte es un motor.

Tu frío quítamelo, o no me entregues nada.
La eterna madrugada nos mira en un rincón
Bailabas sin distracción la canción de la muerte,
nuestro código inherente también se hizo canción.

Tanto talento que tienen tus ojos tardíos,
muero de risa con todos tus juegos mentales.
El argumento mas denso ahora es la brisa
de tus valores tan tiernos y tan naturales

Canto y conecto los tiempos a tiempo con rimas
Y tú no sabes de donde van mis disparates
que manifiesto seguido en los medios dias
que dan color de mi esencia a tus realidades.

I'm a Full Time Web3 native who started his journey on Steemit and by experience decided to go Blockchain Agnostic, wich means i make friends whenever i go sharing my art, 7 years has passed since then and i created the concept of "Digital Street Music" wich means most of the oportunities i have created for me had happened trough music as a vehicle for channeling creative energy, and i want to go deep on this topic because today's song El Código Básico means that depthness to me

i wrote this song digesting my Sound Engineering Discovery, a Math Infinite Pattern of Music that can be performed in any key, any scale, any rythm, chord or melody. That process helped me to unveil the psycological barriers of fear and self-doubt i had to do music back in the day and impacted deeply in how i perform, and after I found this math pattern, i felt like all questions i had were released into the realization that art, science and spirituality are one at the core, and music is a map for it, wich is a blessing because it cannot be erased from the pages of human evolution. It is and it will always be a Map for humanity to reach the highest goal in life: harmony wich refers to the right distance we have to have, first within ourselves, stablishing a triad chord between mind, body and spirit. If we play our music as a project, we will be speaking about mission, vission and values, and we can agree a bicycle stumbles, but a tricycle doesn't and that help us to destilate the importance of the number 3 in a 3 Dimensional World and help us to close the gap between Geometry and Wave, if you think deep about it, it's the only things that we perceive on this human experience.

lyrics

** Tengo un código, básico,
Pa' tus hábitos, tóxicos.
Pa' cambiarte el sonido,
Pa' moldearte el oído.**

Tengo un bálsamo, ácido,
Dulce como la Realidad
Pa' limpiarte por dentro
Pa' ir sacando lo feo

Sueño que tengo la última palabra en esta historia.
El infinito de aquel día quedo en mi memoria

Como hay que saber, a veces sientes todo un batallón
A veces la hormiga ruge al León. A veces marte saca su color

Como hay que saber, no todo siempre se hace menester,
Y lo sagrado siempre ha de estar, así nosotros no podamos ver.

English Lyrics

I have a basic, code
For your toxic, traits
To change your sound,
To mold your ear.

I have a balm, sour,
Sweet as Reality
To clean you from within
To wash the dense out of you

I dream that I have the last word to say in this story.
The infinity of that day remains in my memory

As you have to know, sometimes you feel a whole battalion
Sometimes the ant roars at the Lion. Sometimes Mars brings out its color

As you have to know, not everything has to be done,
And the sacred must always be, even if we cannot see.

I arrived two days ago from the amazon, we succesfully reactivated a solar pannel wich needed an inversor we delivered from the capital city, around 14 hours of road to get to the jungle, I was able to crowfund my journey selling an NFT song but the most magic part of it is that by communicating what i wanted to do, i got some donors on my Giveth and some great users from ImpactZone donating me till the point most of my journey was crowfunded trough altruism, wich helped me to invest in equipment i needed and was off budget.

now i can tell you from experience: communicate your dream, first to you, then to others.

Web3 is full of great oportunities, but similar to music, we're only going to be able to listen to 2% of it, my advice for both scenarios stays the same, be conscious of what you give your attention to, that's why i say "Keep away from FOMO and HODL the VIBE"

Here's a virtual hug from your friend, the Cyborg Amish Seeking Balance Between the Roots and the Wireless

i've always like to perform music who embraces shadow work and this song have been walking with me for a long time ago, it is a song that feels empowering and that speaks raw truths, for example that sentence that states "i realized that in the eyes of the dogs is where humanity is"
exposing that disconnection that we have as humans, animals are a mirror for our souls to remember us where humanity is.

if you like the song you can check out the lyrics here. I do believe in the healing power of music as a tool for having an inner journey and understand beautiful realizations about our fractal nature

sometimes we are the storm and we have to overcome what we experience on those moments by finding the way of not hurting us on the dark moments

if we all do our inner work were going to have a gift in the now, a present.

that's my message for the #openmic community, Keep away from #FOMO and #HODL the VIBE, seeking forward hearing music from this week and to engage with other artists onchain

Once we started our podcast, @elamental, a web 3 native artist arrived and shared with us on text, suddenly we had a new guest for our first show and it was a freestyle session to visualize from the MC perspective what being a bard is about:

A lot of people associate hip-hop with gangster rap and other types of genres when the original meaning of hip hop stands for (H)igher (I)nfinite (P)ower (H)ealing (O)ur (P)eople. - @elamental

It was great for us to share quality time with @elamental who has been actively raising his voice and finding his message to share about, aligned with frespeech and seeking to resignify hip hop pure meaning which these days have been decreased to idolizing money and expose a culture of excess.

Elamental Forces is his most recent production that took a year, conscious lyrics over nature with a mix of fire, a message of truth-hop music.

Una dualidad es la ilusion de creer que el mundo no es un todo, en este caso hablando del Anhelo, como el buscador del pasado dentro del presente, habiendo Una parte consciente dentro de nosotros sabiendo que todo se transforma.

"que le voy a hacer, se trata de ti y en eso el (Anhelo) y yo(presente) opinamos diferente, yo Contigo mantengo Las sustancias, mi Anhelo Las rompe alegremente."
