Aguilera is a good singer with a talent for finding simple melodies amidst rather complex songs. On "El Fluir" the band decided to record live and to cut back on the keyboard and programmed additions to their music. Surprisingly, the result is not an over-the-top jamfest but rather a very tightly arranged set of songs that hint at the overwhelming power they will possess in concert. As always, the two guitar interplay between Aguilera and Otaola is not to be missed as they exhaust all forms of playing together and against one another (with Otaola pulling all sorts of radical sounds out of his guitar). "El Fluir" is their first US release since "Tempestad" in 1998. This edition is further sweetened by the inclusion of a previously unreleased bonus track and a video for the first single "Pare de Sufrir."
Their latest offering is Piedad Ciudad (2010, Fonarte, Fonca).

La Barranca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que esto no es un juego de niños
El sonido de una reja de metal
De pronto me recuerda
Que no hay manera de huir de aquí
Nadie puede salir de la barranca
Ten piedad de las almas humanas
Ten más piedad de mi pobre razón
Que a veces se desarma
Es necesario saber soñar
Para sobrevivir en la barranca
Una palabra una sentencia una oración
Rompe el silencio de toda la noche
Es un rayo que viene a brillar
En medio de esta selva
Es necesario saber hablar
Para sobrevivir en la barranca
Ten piedad de las almas humanas
Que se despeñan en esta barranca
Ten más piedad de mi pobre razón
Que a veces se desarma
Es necesario saber soñar
Para sobrevivir en la barranca
The lyrics to La Barranca's song "La Barranca" reveal a gritty and dark struggle for survival within a ravine, and the plea for mercy for those who are trapped there. The song starts with the singer proclaiming that just one look was enough to know that this is not a child's game. The sound of metal bars serves as a sudden reminder that there's no way to escape this place, and no one can leave the barranca. The song then includes a prayer for the souls of those who have fallen and continue to fall into the barranca. The singer also pleads for mercy for their own mind, which sometimes becomes overwhelmed by this environment. They claim that in order to survive in this barranca, it's necessary to know how to dream.
The second verse continues with the theme of communication and survival in the barranca. The silence of the night is shattered by a word, sentence, or prayer that comes as a beam of light in the midst of the jungle. The singer claims that it's also necessary to know how to speak to survive in the barranca. This verse continues with the prayer for mercy on the human souls who fall, like the singer, into this dangerous place.
Overall, "La Barranca" is a powerful song that addresses the difficulties of survival in a hostile environment. It touches on themes of hopelessness, escape, and the importance of communication and dreaming even in the darkest of environments.

La frase "nadie puede salir de la barranca" es totalmente cierta, una vez que inicias a escucharlos, desde la primera canción ya no puedes dejar de escuchar a la barranca, no quieres salir de ahí, quieres oír el disco de principio a fin y de fin a principio
