Influenced by Sergio Vargas, Kinito Méndez, Johnny Ventura, Los Hermanos Rosario, Juan Luis Guerra. Lázaro Sosa was a quiet kid from the loud neighborhood of Villa Mella, Santo Domingo, who, at 21, shocked everyone by leaving for a silent Benedictine monastery in Spain. He spent five years there, learning to pray and restore antique furniture. He returned to the Dominican Republic a changed man, adopting the name 'El Peregrino' to write merengue that bridges his two worlds: songs with enough rhythm to fill any dance floor, and enough soul to honor the silence he grew to love.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oye, soy yo... te marco desde el patio de Tío Pello.
Son las cinco y diez de un domingo que amenazó con aguacero.
La mesa de dominó se tambalea con cada ficha,
y estoy grabando en mi cabeza esta pequeña dicha.

[Chorus]
Y este es el sonido del presente, que mañana será un eco.
Un merengue que se escapa por un ventanal reseco.
Este es el sonido del presente, guárdalo en algún archivo,
por si un día el silencio me pregunta si estuve vivo.

[Verse 2]
Tía Mirta está colando un café que huele a tregua,
la luz que entra por la puerta es una cosa antigua.
"¡Capicúa!", gritó Manolo, "¡Págame lo que me debes!".
Y pasa un delivery con su campanita de jueves.

[Chorus]
Y este es el sonido del presente, que mañana será un eco.
Un merengue que se escapa por un ventanal reseco.
Este es el sonido del presente, guárdalo en algún archivo,
por si un día el silencio me pregunta si estuve vivo.

[Bridge]
Construí monasterios de piedra al otro lado del mar,
y la única capilla que importa vibra en este lugar.
Una ermita de risas, de cerveza y de calor...

[Outro]
(Music cuts abruptly to only voice and a simple, sparse nylon-string guitar melody)
Bueno... te dejé este mensaje pa' que no se te olvide.
Guárdame este sonido... por si acaso.
