Canción sobre la existencia de dos culturas afrodescendientes en Costa Rica, la de origen colonial en Guanacaste y la de origen postcolonial en Limón.

lyrics

Sabasabané
Manuel Monestel

Zumba la marimba lista la resbaladera
Todos beben vino de coyol
Suenan los quijongos, bailan la cholitas
El sabanero entona su canción

Africa en la venas, fuera las cadenas
La muchacha mueve con su gracia las caderas
La pampa rebelde, ni un tono de verde
El tayacán brama en la lejanía

Todo suena, todo vibra
El ritmo marca toda esta vida
Africa en la venas, fuera las cadenas
La muchacha mueve con su gracia las caderas

Sabasabané, Sabasabané,
Sabasabanera con su son
Negra sabanera mueve la cadera
Sabasabanera con su son

Hear the calysonian to the other side
All the bells are ringing all the people singing
The song of the morning light
The song of the morning light
The drums are a calling
The calypsonian balling
The beautiful gal dancing
In the street ,
this is carnaval, this bacanal
We waiting for the promised ship
That would take away the sorrow and the weep
We waiting for the promised ship
That would take away the sorrow and the weep
