COMENZAR - Music by John Finbury / Lyrics by Magos Herrera
A solo acoustic bass cadenza resolves into an a capella vocal, and so “Comenzar” (“To Begin (again)” ) is born.
With lyrics penned by Magos Herrera herself, the song is a homage to our capacity to reinvent ourselves and find new beginnings within the same story.
The music displays influences of Argentine Zamba, and other folkloric music from the Andes that share similar rhythms.
"Comenzar" is the fifth track from John Finbury’s new album QUATRO, which premieres new music with broad Latin American and Spanish influences, mixed and matched in an unorthodox fashion.
Alternating vocal and instrumental tracks, the album was produced by Latin Grammy winner Emilio D. Miler, and features Magos Herrera on vocals, Chano Domínguez on piano, John Patitucci on bass, and Antonio Sánchez on drums.
Recorded over two sessions in New York in 2019, Quatro is both a celebration of cultural diversity and immigration, and a condemnation of those who seek restriction based upon prejudice.

Grabado durante dos sesiones en Nueva York en 2019, "Quatro" es una celebración de la diversidad cultural y la migración, y a la vez una crítica de las restricciones basadas en prejuicios.

Comenzar (Music by John Finbury / Lyrics by Magos Herrera)
Del silencio de la tarde
De entre horas que se van
Cantan todas las palabras que
si tu estas aquí todo cabe en mí
Canta la nube que pasa
y se pierde en el añil
Y a lo lejos deja el eco
de un murmullo gris que me sabe a ti
Y ya ves
El tiempo pasa,
pasa el tiempo y camino
Suena mi voz
y el cuerpo en calma, como el aire que se va
Hasta la orilla del rio
Donde el tiempo comenzó
Donde lo que hemos perdido se vuelve viento y flor
Nace una canción
Y a pesar que todo cambia
Y el corazón que se rompe
Nos reinventamos la vida
Para empezar, para comenzar.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To begin (again)
From the silence of the afternoon, as the hours pass by
all the words sing that if you’re by my side all dwells within.
The passing cloud, sings and it gets lost in the indigo
in the distance leaves the echo of a gray murmur that has your essence
See, time goes by
Time goes by and I walk (a long journey)
My voice sounds, and my body in peace
as the air that leaves
To the river bank,
where time began
where what we have lost becomes wind and flower
and a song is born
And even though everything changes
and the heart that breaks
we reinvent ourselves
to start again, to begin (again).
