The song "Molino Molero" by Susana Baca is a beautiful and melancholic melody that speaks to the pain and struggles of life. The lyrics describe a mill (molino) that is tirelessly grinding away, representing the struggles that the singer is going through. The repetition of "molino molero, molino solo ta' andando" emphasizes the constant motion and never-ending struggles, serving as a metaphor for life's hardships. The chorus repeats this line four times, emphasizing the struggle, pain, and difficulty that one faces.
The verses delve deeper into the emotional struggle of the singer, with "ahi esta el molino, moliendo en la playa" translating to "there is the mill, grinding in the sand". This line is particularly poignant because it relates to the idea that the struggles that one goes through are never-ending, and one can only hope to weather the storm. The last lines of the song build up to a crescendo, as the singer repeats "moliendo mi pena" which means "grinding my sorrow". The song is a powerful message about the pain and struggles of life, but also about the strength to endure and carry on.

It took me a while to realize the guitar soloist was also playing the bass line. Wow!
@DutchStuffOfficial
+Morganstudios Yeah, Charlie Hunter is something else. He did a song with John Mayer where he does the same thing.
@JuiceHallJam
+Morganstudios listen to D'Angelo's "Spanish Joint" and "The Root", and Frank Ocean's "Sweet Life"..
@Morganstudios
+KrummyBear Yeah that became obvious when I realized he was playing the bassline too.
@hilgi2003
+Morganstudios Charlie is amazing, check out Charlie Hunter Quintet -Mestre Tata (Live In Philadelphia)
@dsbtreker
