(Juan Luis Guerra)
Nunca dejes de sonar mi tambora
archipiélago de toque escondido
eres trueno de una muerte sonora
muerte de madera y chivo
Nunca dejes de sonar mi tambora
crisantemos despeinados te adornan
y la güira se ha postrado en tu cama
y te roza...
Suena un ángel, viste de tambora
tierra adentro con la tumbadora
mil luceros forman tu corona
nunca muere, ey, mi tambora
Nunca dejes de sonar mi tambora
tu cintura, aroma de aserradero
y derrama de otras manos tu sangre
vé pariendo un tamborero
Por allá por el estado de Zulia
en la parte norte de Venezuela
le nacieron alas a mi tambora
y ahora vuela...
Por los Andes, sueña mi tambora
tierra adentro con la tumbadora
mil luceros forjan tu corona
nunca muere, ey, mi tambora
Suena un ángel, viste de tambora
tierra adentro con la tumbadora
mil luceros forman tu corona
nunca muere, ey, mi tambora
Esta canción fue escrita en homenaje a Angel Andújar ("Catarey"), tamborero y
Percusionista de Juan Luis Guerra y 440, quien murió en un accidente automovilístico
Cuando
el grupo andaba de gira por Venezuela.

Juan Luis Guerra Seijas, nato a Santo Domingo il 7 giugno 1956, è un cantante, musicista e compositore dominicano considerato uno dei principali esponenti della musica latinoamericana. Guerra ha saputo fondere elementi tradizionali della musica dominicana, come il merengue e la bachata, con influenze jazzistiche e pop, creando un sound originale che ha definito "mamborengue". I suoi testi, spesso ispirati alla fede cristiana e all'amore per la sua terra natale, sono caratterizzati da una vena di umorismo e ironia. La sua carriera musicale è iniziata negli anni '70 con il gruppo 440, ma è a partire dagli anni '80 che ha raggiunto fama internazionale grazie a album come "Privé" (1985) e "Ojalá" (1992). Nel corso della sua lunga carriera, Guerra ha vinto 18 Grammy Award nel genere musica latina, consolidando il suo status di artista leggendario. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo "Añoro tu presencia", "Visa para un sueño", "La bili" e "Bachata en Fukuoka".
