Guajiras
'Guajiro' is a Spanish word, designating white farmers from Cuba. It is a 'cante de ida y vuelta' which comes from Cuban folk music, with a 'copla' of ten verses, of eight or ten syllables. Its words refer, above all, to La Havana and its inhabitants, and its beat is the same as that of the 'bulería', although with different accentuation. It is always executed in major tones. According to many experts this song should really be called 'punto cubano' since it already existed in Cuba with this name. A great part of its melodic richness is due to Pepe Marchena.
