This ser ies of Lat inamerrcatchoral music will provide an oppoitunityfor many choirs t6 get to know this musrcand, through it, to discover our traditions,our rh1'thms, and our soul.

In th is lu l laby composcd byAtahualpa Yupanqui , one of the mostpopular Latinamerican composers of th€1960s and ear ly 1970s, the l i t t l€ b lackchi ld is g iven impossib le promises andwarned of dire consequenccs, while the sadpl isht of the s ick, hard.workins mothcr isdepict€d in word and song.

According to our t ranslatorCarlos Inpez, "N€srtro literally m€ans' l i t t le b lack one, 'or , in modern usage,simply 'darling' or 'dear little one.' Butother words in th€ t€xt leav€ no doubt aboutthe setting of this 'black' lullaby. Theomission of i.he 'r' in ,rae' (i'iaet), ce'do(cerdo), snd ca'ne (carne) and theomission of an '6' ia €'ro (e6ta) a d tre'ca(fresca) all reflect the black spanishpronunciation of the unaducated slaveculture. The references to the brutalpractice of cutting s person's foot otr toprevent €scap€ and to the sick mothcrworking hard in the 6elds and not Settingpaid can only be understood in t€rms ofthedehumanizing conditions slave8 enduredfor centuries in many part6 of the NcwWorld-"
