Influenced by Antony Santos, Luis Vargas, Raulin Rodriguez, Luis Segura. Ramón Cordero learned the requinto at the feet of his uncle in the plantain fields of Mao, Dominican Republic. He put the guitar down for two years to care for his dying mother, Altagracia, a vigil that reshaped his understanding of love and loss. Now, from the quiet of her empty house, he writes bachatas not about youthful flings, but about the weight of memory in a survivor's hands. These are the songs of the long silence after.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
La mata de orégano que sembraste en la lata
sigue viva en tu patio, contra la tierra ingrata.
Le echo un poco de agua del fondo del tinaco,
el mismo sorbo amargo que por tu ausencia me trago.
Tus manos la tocaron un jueves por la tarde,
y ahora es lo único que de ese jueves me arde.

[Chorus]
Y que no me toquen tu siembra,
que no opinen de tu tierra.
Esta raíz es tu memoria,
y esta casa es una guerra.

[Verse 2]
“Bota ya esa vaina seca”, me dijo ayer la vecina.
No sabe que esa hoja huele a tu medicina.
No entiende que sus ramas son dedos que me apuntan
al sitio exacto donde mis culpas se juntan.
Son los únicos ojos verdes que me miran,
y en el sereno frío de Mao, por ti respiran.

[Chorus]
Y que no me toquen tu siembra,
que no opinen de tu tierra.
Esta raíz es tu memoria,
y esta casa es una guerra.

[Bridge]
Le arranco una hojita, la aprieto entre los dedos,
y suelta el mismo aroma de tus remedios caseros.
Un olor a sancocho de un domingo cualquiera.

[Chorus]
¡Y que no me toquen tu siembra!
¡Que no opinen de tu tierra!
¡Esta raíz es tu memoria,
y por cuidarla es la guerra!

[Outro]
No se toca.
Esta raíz no se arranca.
