Work introduction
in Venezuela the tonada tend to be presented as work songs that accompany various tasks such as milking, farming, herding, hunting, fishing, threshing, grinding corn, harvesting and rest of rural man. These songs, in addition to constituting a labor rite, symbolize the spirit of coexistence among those who perform common tasks.
the peasant sings to the cow as he milks it, or to his horse as he rides. This piece is dedicated to the flutist Maria Kosa, and her dog, the beautiful Nola, as a song of union and work between them.
