HappyNewYear2022_ThreeTuneTuesday.jpgPuerta del Sol, Madrid - December 2019

Hello Hivers and music lovers!

I was taking a look at the posts in my feed and thanks to my friend tengolotodo@tengolotodo I realized that it's Tuesday and the last of this year. By the way Super Ed, I'm looking forward to the chocolates Santa Scotsman has offered me. 馃馃巹馃槅馃槈

I'm grateful to be able to say goodbye to 2022, was a rather difficult year for me in many ways, but it's not time to take stock of the year but to share music with my #threetunetuesday friends.

And since we're about to say goodbye to the year, I'm going to share some songs I like to listen to on New Year's Eve.

But before we get into the tunes. If you are not familiar with #threetunetuesday, let me give a little background in the words of ablaze@ablaze, who started the initiative

The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #ttt or #threetunetuesday tags that would be great. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.

You can find out more at ablaze's post for this a couple of Tuesdays ago with his recommendations for week #81, this is #83 since the #ttt began.

So without further ado, my recommendations for today.

Tune 1 - Mecano - Un a帽o m谩s

I have previously mentioned in the #ttt the Spanish band Mecano that was very popular in the late 80s and early 90s. I loved them. And they had a song to say goodbye to the year, called Un A帽o M谩s.

The song that talks about how the Spaniards say goodbye to the year inspired me to use in this article the photo of the Puerta del Sol, an emblematic square to say goodbye to the year in Madrid.

Tune 2 - Camilo - 5 pa las 12

This song is like a slide projector of New Year's Eve memories from when I was a child. When it was 5 o'clock to 12 o'clock, in my house, this song was always played. 5 pa las 12 is an old Venezuelan song, and its author was called Nestor Zavarce. But to share, I have opted for a newer cover of the song by the Colombian singer and songwriter Camilo.

Every year, this song brings a few tears to my eyes when it's midnight on New Years' Eve. It fills me with nostalgia and Saudade for those who are no longer here.

Tune 3 - Maracaibo 15 - Viejo A帽o

And since we're getting nostalgic, I'm better to make a twist to a happier song and share a traditional gaita to say goodbye to the year. The gaitas is a traditional rhythm from Maracaibo, the city where my husband is from. Although, he doesn't like gaitas 馃ぃ

This is a very well-known one called Viejo A帽o by the band Maracaibo 15.

This is all for today. Have a Happy New Year, hivers!

Thank you very much for reading!

Enjoy the music, and enjoy life!
