A song with a nice beat to it, about unity. A soulful song about nostalgia for the past adolescence. The delicacy and beauty of Susana Baca s voice makes her one of today s most popular Latin American singers. She is renowned as an interpreter of contemporary Afro-Peruvian music, the intimate lando and samba rhythms of her country. Here she sings about the power of unity and how together we can become stronger like the stones that form a wall. This theme is taken from the Lamento Negro album (Tumi 104), which won Latin Grammy.

VOZ 1: A la orilla del cielo muros de piedra,
firmes muros unidos en pie de piedra.
Unas con otras las piedra se juntan, hacen
un muro de unidad razón de la fortaleza.
Las piedras siguen juntas pasan los siglos,
quedan en pie los muros, pasan las nubes,
siguen las piedras juntas, siguen las piedras juntas,
apréndelo de memoria piedra con piedra.
Hombre del pueblo mira los muros,
no las nubes que pasan, mira las piedras,
hombre del pueblo escucha estas palabras,
mira esos muros aprende de las piedras.
La piedras siguen juntas pasan los siglos,
quedan en pie los muros, pasan las nubes,
siguen las piedras juntas, siguen las piedras juntas,
apréndelo de memoria, piedra con piedra.
Piedra con piedra, idea con idea.
Brazo con brazo.
Martillo con martillo.
