Once again, it is a pleasure for me to share with you, in this musical field, an Eastern Joropo Sucrense interpreted nothing more and nothing less by our dear María Rodríguez, it is the subject called "El Matapalo" (The tree kills). This musical theme is the fifteenth song of the Album María Por Siempre and was recorded in the city of Caracas in 1994 under the Musical Production of Rafael Salazar and the execution of the Mandolin, the Arrangements and the Musical Direction were in charge of who write this text; Estelio Padilla.
In this Joropo with Estribillo you can appreciate the powerful contralto voice that this popular singer from eastern Venezuela possessed whose artistic legacy represents an icon of the identity of the sucrense cultural being manifested in musical themes such as "The Tobacco Oration". In the case of this Joropo, the same begins with the free form of Joropo to then give way to the Estribillo in minor key under the harmonic scheme of the Andalusian cadence.
The music and lyrics of this Joropo are by the popular singer José Julian Villafranca and the verses that make up the Estribillo were written by Rafael Salazar and María Rodríguez. The Joropo refers to the wisdom of the people expressed in popular expressions, through moral proverbs, sentences and proverbs. And, the Estribillo refers, in the first two stanzas in celebrating the skills and musical virtuosity of two great exponents of our sucrense popular music; Chiguao and Luisillo and the last two stanzas take up the initial context of the Joropo, through the experiences and daily life of the people "... tomorrow I leave here without direction and without direction ... up there very high where tingo tingo call the hens pylon corn and dogs suck cachimbo".

The Matapalo (The Tree kills)
Joropo
Danger is dying (yes my friend),
It seems that he died (if he does not),
because there he is watering (if colleague)
What confidence killed him (Bis)
So says the saying (yes my friend)
without further recommendation,
that the fool tie the boat
even if it's a pattern. (Bis)
Like the one who had sight and blinded,
bad luck all his body covered
like that good tree that the matapalo devastated
because it was known long ago the life snatched him. (Bis)

Estribillo
Refine the tone Chiguao (with joy and postín)
There in the Orchestra of heaven the Bandolín is flourishing.
Refine the tone Chiguao with joy and postín
There in the Orchestra of heaven the Bandolín is flourishing.
We remind you Luisillo (with your Cuatro singing)
Wiggling a good Joropo
since the begging to the end.
We remind you Luisillo with your Cuatro singing
Wiggling a good Joropo
since the begging to the end.
Tomorrow I'm leaving here (bis) (without direction and without direction), bis
Sometimes with the moon
And other times with the sun.
Tomorrow I leave here without direction and without direction,
Sometimes with the moon
And other times with the sun.
Up there very high (where they call tingo tingo)
Chickens pilan corn,
The dogs suck cachimbo.
Up there very high where they call tingo tingo
Chickens pilan corn,
The dogs suck cachimbo.
Up there very high where they call tingo tingo
Chickens pilan corn,
The dogs suck cachimbo.
