Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y aquí se va a demostrar
Lo que se hereda no se hurta
Y aquí se va a demostrar
Talento y canto, sangre nueva
Garantizando que no muera el sabor
Gracias te doy, padre bueno
Gracias te doy, padre bueno
De haberme dado tu herencia musical
Como pedían candela, candela le' vengo a dar
A ver si lo sanó Junior en el timbal
Como pedían candela, candela le' vengo a dar
A ver si lo sanó Junior en el timbal
Abel Cicito en el timbal
Timbalero de cinco años
Abel Cicito en el timbal
Abel Cicito en el timbal
Abel Cicito en el timbal
En el timbal
Para gozar
En la rumba
Y en la salsa
En el timbal
Para gozar
En la rumba
Y en la salsa
En el timbal
Para gozar
En la rumba
Y en la salsa
Guayacán
¿Q-Que qué?
Abel Cicito en la conga

Así se toca, muchacho'
The first lines of the song Herencia Musical, by the Guayacán Orquesta, make a powerful statement: "Lo que se hereda no se hurta" ("What is inherited is not stolen"). This phrase refers to the idea that musical talent and passion are not something that can be stolen or acquired by force, but rather something that is handed down from one generation to another as part of a musical heritage. The song is meant to showcase the importance of preserving traditional Latin American musical styles, and the pride that comes with being part of a musical family.
The lyrics go on to thank the father figure for passing on this heritage to the singer, emphasizing the importance of keeping the music alive for future generations. The song also features a mention of Junior, a famous timbalero, and his ability to heal with his music. The lyrics then introduce Abel Cicito, a five-year-old timbal player, who demonstrates his skills and passion for the music.
The overall message of the song is an exaltation of Latin American music and the importance of passing it on to future generations. It is also a tribute to the musicians who have come before and to those who continue to innovate and create new music, keeping the tradition alive.
