i think its important to mention that the drummer Gabriel Parra, when Los Jaivas do a tour in europe, the Rolling Stones magazine said that him and John Bonham were the best drummers in the world! sorry if my english is not that good, thank you for reacting to this beautiful and talented Chilean band!
No sólo fue baterista sino también múltiple instrumentista también corista de la banda hasta el día de su muerte el 15 de abril de 1988 Gabriel Parra en la memoria y corazones de todos junto a Eduardo Gato Alquinta 😢❤❤❤❤❤
Not only that, but after the death of the drummer, Gabriel Parra, he was replaced by his daughter, Junita Parra. A couple of years ago, in 2023, they performed live at the Viña del Mar Festival, and it was amazing. The full performance is available on TH-cam if you want to check it out.
Hi Mark? First time here. Thanks for the honest reaction to Los Jaivas! I think I can tell you why you didn't ever heard of them, and that's because they are from South America and do music in spanish. Even so, they were very well known into the anglo and european progressive rock circle, like Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin. Gabriel Parra (RIP), the drummer, was an extraordinary musician also well known as one of the best around the world at that time (70's). The issue, as with a lot of things coming from Latinamerica, is that the anglo market is always full of high quality bands and the space for latin rock is minimal. The latin music you may have heard during your childhood should be romantic balads, caribbean rhythms or some latin pop singers. During the 60's till the 90's there were a lot of latin rock bands, and I mean it when I say a lot. Some of them really good, that could be famous just if they sang in english, but rock shouldn't have just one language. The latin youths from 80's and 90's has the great luck to have enjoyed both anglo and latin rock. I really invite you to continue reacting to Los Jaivas and other latin rock/folk/progressive/pop bands. Best regards from Chile!! 🙂
Excelente! Ahora solo falta que le expliques por qué aparecen esos personajes y esa máscara en el video de La poderosa muerte, sin mencionar la letra de Pablo Neruda.
Sólo agradecer por tanto a LOS JAIVAS desde la Patagonia Chilena 🎶 🌎 🌍 🌏 🎵 LOS JAIVAS POR SIEMPRE. Único grupo autorizado para tocar y cantar en el gran MACCHU PICCHU.
Los Jaivas son una banda que hasta el dia de hoy estan vigentes... este año estan celebrando sus 60 años, con algunos cambios pero la magia perdura... te recomiendo escuchar el tema "Cancion del sur" en la Antartica, Tarka y ocarina, Mira niñita, La Conquistada y bueno... te aseguro que cualquier cancion que escuches de ellos te sorprendera...
This song's lyrics are taken from a Pablo Neruda's poem (Chilean Nobel Prize winner); that's why they aren't easy to arrange in a normal song. La Poderosa Muerte is the Almighty Death, the same Death that took the incas out, Neruda out, the singer of Los Jaivas, Gato Alquinta, out, and will take us all out too in the end.
Hi! Great reaction! I laughed with you even though I knew the song/album/band. I can see from the comments a lot of people have given you some context . Much appreciated you taking a dive into an unknown culture and language. Cheers!
Y la Cancion y el disco completo llamados Alturas del Machu Picchu, es una obra basada en el poema de Pablo Neruda llamado canto General, del cual musicalizaron algunas letras y dio como resultado uno de los discos mas influyentes de America Latina... un abrazo!
If your thinking about the influences in their music , Focus was formed by Thijs van Leer in Amsterdamm , in 1969 and Los Jaivas in 1963. And also Los Jaivas group was founded before Pink Floyd.
The lyrics are part of the poem "The heights of Machu Picchu", written by Pablo Neruda (taken from his Canto General book) This whole album is Los Jaivas' rendition to Neruda. And the video is part of a TV special, recorded at Machu Picchu (there's a "behind the scenes" video where you can watch how the piano was taken there)
The piano was transported hanging by a Peruvian army helicopter. I saw the TV special that was made for the record and it was conducted by Mario Vargas Llosa, that years late won the literature Nobel Prize
@@pablobonati8286 I mean, that’s just bloody mental lol. Btw, dunno if you saw, I have done a new video for these mad lads, but it got blocked worldwide! I’m disputing it and hopefully they allow me to put it out ☺️
This was super weird and really cool. Kind of reminded me of a "Latin Indigenous band" if such a thing existed.🤔 . Will be checking out more of this band whenever my life needs a little more beautiful chaos.😃 Super unique.👍👍 🥰🥰Hugs from Canada🇨🇦
@@markabusireactions I will definately check out more later. We are in the final days before the Concert so Dimash news is keeping many very busy until departure on the 24th.
Amigo, no se si entiendas lo que te escribo, pero los jaivas estuvieron en el mismo escenario que Cream de Eric Clapton y el baterista de Cream fue a felicitar al baterista de Los Jaivas.
The guy at the end is dressed for a diablada, a traditional carnaval dance in the altiplano andino (chile, perú and bolivia), just in case this information helps you make sense of it haha
@@markabusireactions nooo, it does make sense hahaha it's not the sort of carnaval they have in Brazil, it has more of a religious background and diabladas generally represent the fight between good and evil. Given that the song is called "the powerful death" it sort of matches the energy hahaha I swear
If you listened this song with subtitles, you would get mad. The lyrics are wonderful, because is a poem from Pablo Neruda, Nobel Prize Winner, and one of the greatest poet from XX century. The poem is about how those rocks have beaten the death, and all the lives that made that monument, in the Dawn of Human Civilization.
When the clay-colored hand became clay, and when the little eyelids closed. full of rough walls, populated with castles, and when the whole man got tangled in his hole, accuracy was raised: the high site of the human dawn: the highest vessel that contained silence: a life of stone after so many lives. 🎸better than Slash on the cliff.... Gato Alquinta on the summit of Machu Pichu... 😂😂hahaha... greetings from Chile🇨🇱
Los Jaivas es musica de raices, quizas muy dificil de digerir para personas de otras culturas,...pero bien por difundir, por lo menos les parece curiosa..😊. Los Jaivas son lo maximo peto hay que entender su lenguaje metaforico y musical.
Right, I have no idea what this says, I’m so sorry! I will try and get it translated! 😂

Lyrics : What was the man? (What was the man?) Where in your open conversation Between the warehouses and the whistles In which of its metallic movements I lived the indestructible The imperishable Life? Everyone fainted Waiting for his death His short daily death And his unfortunate daily loss was Like a black cup that they drank trembling So on the scale of the earth I have climbed So on the scale of the earth I have climbed Among the atrocious tangle of the lost jungles Until you, Macchu-Picchu High city of scalar stones Finally the abode of the terrestrial He did not hide in the sleeping garments In you, like two parallel lines The cradle of lightning and man They swayed in a wind of thorns Mother of stone, foam of the condors High reef of the human dawn (na, na, na...) When the hand is colored with clay turned into clay And when the little eyelids They closed Full of rough walls castle towns And when all the man Got tangled in his hole Accuracy was raised The high site of the human aurora The highest vessel that contained silence A life of stone after so many lives
ohhhh its great to watch people hearing los jaivas, they used to improvise a lot and then record and write the improvisation note by note, I think thats because they always sound so new and fresh, even now after 60 freaking years!!! you could listen to la vida magica, tarka y ocarina (mindblowing), pregon para iluminarse, and it goes on and on...
Leo tanto de tantos tratando de argumentar: que el reconocimiento adeudado, que la revista rolling, que el baterista el mejor sin reconocimiento, que el pianista tipo Arrau..... a quién puede importarle? No necesitan ningún reconocimiento. El que tenga oidos y piel que escuche, el resto, se lo pierde nomás.
Arco Iris was the first progressive band to fuse native music from Argentina in 1968 by the great Gustavo Santaolalla. You may know him for making the music for the video game "Last of Us." He reacts to the ARCO IRIS song "Sudamerica o el retorno a la aurora"
Me encanto tu reacción desde lo que sientes. Se que la barrera de los idiomas hablados nos separa a todos. Pero la música es lo que nos une cuando escuchamos. Un idioma universal. Un gran abrazo
other Jaivas prog masterpieces: antigua america, el gavilan, tarka y ocarina, danzas, en los jardines humanos, aguila sideral... look for studio versions!!!
@markabusireactions Originally the name of the band was in English "High Bass", but when pronounced in Spanish it sounded "jaivas" therefore they finally adopted that name "Los Jaivas"
@@markabusireactions nothing, jaivas and "high bass" sound exactly the same in spanish... I take the opportunity to request "Mira Niñita"(look little girl) --> th-cam.com/video/uzdc0C9p9h4/w-d-xo.html or my favorite "Bosques Virginales"(Virginal Forests) --> th-cam.com/video/We4eZKyKtvs/w-d-xo.html
@@markabusireactions Their name was "high bass" but it sounded exactly like "Jaivas" which is a chilean crab so they ended calling themselves "los Jaivas" (the crabs)
The greatest influence in Los Jaivas is having been born and breed in southamerica , if you can see they mix up all Kind of southamerican countries sounds and joint it up With classic , jazz and rock
I (II) - 2:55 What was man? In what layer of his humdrum conversation, among his shops and sirens - in which of his metallic movements lived on imperishably the quality of life? II (III) - 6:20 all of them weakened waiting for their death, their brief and daily death - and their ominous dwindling each day was like a black cup they trembled while they drained. III (VI) - 12:17 Then up the ladder of the earth I climbed through the barbed jungle’s thickets until I reached you Macchu Picchu. Tall city of stepped stone, home at long last of whatever earth had never hidden in her sleeping clothes. In you two lineages that had run parallel met where the cradle both of man and light rocked in a wind of thorns. Mother of stone and sperm of condors. High reef of the human dawn. IV (VI) - 14:52 On the day the clay-coloured hand was utterly changed into clay, and when dwarf eyelids closed upon bruised walls and hosts of battlements, when all of man in us cringed back into its burrow - there remained a precision unfurled on the high places of the human dawn, the tallest crucible that ever held our silence, a life of stone after so many lives. --- Parenthesis reflects where the song stanza is found in the poem "The Hights of Macchu Picchu" --- Pablo Neruda The Heights of Macchu Picchu Translated by Nathaniel Tarn (1966)
Regarding the guy in the mask at the end of the video, I get it seems funny at first sight, but holds deep cultural and symbolic meaning. The mask in the video represents an *Andean ceremonial mask*, specifically related to the worldview of the indigenous peoples of the Andes. These masks were often used in rituals and festivals that connect with nature, ancestors, and the spiritual world. In the context of the video, the mask reinforces the themes of death and transcendence, which are present both in Neruda's poetry and in Los Jaivas' music. The origin of such masks dates back to the pre-Columbian civilizations of South America, such as the Incas and other Andean peoples. In many Andean cultures, masks had a symbolic role in rituals related to death, fertility, connection with the gods, and spiritual transformation. Rituals with masks were used to mark the transition between the earthly and spiritual worlds, and those who wore them were believed to acquire a special connection with spirits or ancestors. In the case of La Poderosa Muerte, the mask emphasizes the idea of death as a transcendent and cyclical force, not merely the end of life but also a gateway to the eternal. The powerful relationship between life, death, and nature is a theme Neruda explores in his poem, and Los Jaivas translate it into a musical and visual language that evokes that same sense of mysticism and communion with ancestral history.
Very surprised to see you react to a Spanish-language song. Makes me feel special in a way, haha. XD I know you're not into songs from that language, and that's understandable, but if you do want to look for another good one, I strongly recommend you El Matador by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. It's one of my all-time favorite songs, and I think you might enjoy it too. ^_^
I never said I wasn’t into Spanish language songs hahaha. One of my favourite bands is the Mars Volta, and they sing in Spanish all the bloody time 😂 I’ll add that one to my list though!
Thanks for this reaction! I looove Los Jaivas, If you don't mind, I would like to recommend you "Sube a nacer conmigo hermano", I think you would love it :)
The powerful Death What was the Man? In which part of his open conversation, between the warehouses and the hisses En which of his metal movements? It used to live, the indestructible, the imperishable, the life? Everyone was fainting, waiting for their death Their short daily death and their fateful torment, of each day, used to was, like a black goblet, that they used to drank trembling. So, on the scale of the Earth I have climbed So, on the scale of the Earth I have climbed among the atrocious tangle of the lost jungles until you, Macchu Picchu. High city of scalar stones Finally, abode of the one who did not hide the earthly, in the abandoned garments. In you, like two parallel lines The cradle of lightning and of Man, swaying in a wind of thorns. Mother of stone , foam of the condors high reef of the Human aurora. When the hand of colour of clay became clay and when the small eyelids closed, full of Rough walls, populated with castles and when all the Man tangled up in his hole, accuracy was raised, the high Site of the Human aurora the highest vessel that preserved the Silence, a life of stone, after so many lives.

I actually have a reaction to tarka y ocarina. But it got banned worldwide on TH-cam. So… I was setting up a Patreon account for early access to videos, and exclusive content, I was going to put my video there
Hmm🤔 An acoustic piano. The music was very folksy, i found myself wandering thru the shire wondering if i should visit Frodo, knock the little fella over & steal the One Ring. I could get free beer & everything whilst wearing that :)
I’ll not be having jokes! That song was an absolute banger 😂 the music video, if I’m being totally honest, was a waste of a beautiful area, but as long as everyone was having fun 😂
@@markabusireactions No honestly there was nothing much to complain about, Mark....but they really would go down a storm in the Prancing Pony tavern on a friday night. I wouldn't have to pay cos i'm using the One Ring to get in for free.😏
Qué lástima que no conozcas la obra del poeta Pablo Neruda, Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1971. El libro Canto General contiene una sección llamada Alturas de Machu Pichu y este tema es la musicalización de parte de este poema.
I have no idea what that says truthfully, but I recognise Novel Prize for Literature, and I own a book by Pablo Neruda, so I shall look more into this!
Entraste al universo Jaivas,cada tema es una obra de arte,musica de fusion que te trasporta a otra dimensión. Te recomiendo otro grupo chileno Congreso con los temas El Juego,En todoas las esquinas,Vuelta y vuelta...
@@markabusireactionsCongreso. She recomends the songs "el juego" (the Game), "En todas las esquinas" (in all the corners) y "vuelta y vuelta" (round and round). I really loved your reaction and musical analysis!
ALTURAS DE MACCHU PICCHU de Pablo Neruda premio nobel de literatura.Los Jaivas lo mejor. Read the poem,gringo,maybe you`ll learn a few things.Saludos desde Viña del Marx,xile.
Entiendo tu actitud ... El toca solo con su uña de ahi el sonido extraño al tocar el solo de guitarra ... Oscuras pentatonicas y demases .... Saludos ......
me da la impresion de que esta reaccion es de una persona que no aprecia nada. ademas porque nonsense. ..acaso no sabe que significa sin sentido en el genero literario.
I like your reaction bro, Coming from the sixties, of course there are influences from, Pink Floyd, Genesis, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Yes, Flairck etc... What makes them unique is the mix of all these styles and Latin American music. There are many bands in South America from the seventies doing pro rock.. The Jaivas are unique.. Big regards.. Recommend Sof Machine 5
Los Jaivas don't have an influences . They "shut down " the radio in 1968 and makes a new sounds trough improvisations until 1971 when published their first álbum . They are the influences in others artists.
@@nelsonfuentes9175 I agree, but being an album from 1980, it's absolutely logic to have received some new influences. They had also evolved during their career. Regards!!
i think its important to mention that the drummer Gabriel Parra, when Los Jaivas do a tour in europe, the Rolling Stones magazine said that him and John Bonham were the best drummers in the world! sorry if my english is not that good, thank you for reacting to this beautiful and talented Chilean band!
Oh he’s easily up there with Bonham, it really surprised me how talented they are!

Lyrics :
What was the man? (What was the man?)
Where in your open conversation
Between the warehouses and the whistles
In which of its metallic movements
I lived the indestructible
The imperishable
Life?
Everyone fainted
Waiting for his death
His short daily death
And his unfortunate daily loss was
Like a black cup that they drank trembling
So on the scale of the earth I have climbed
So on the scale of the earth I have climbed
Among the atrocious tangle of the lost jungles
Until you, Macchu-Picchu
High city of scalar stones
Finally the abode of the terrestrial
He did not hide in the sleeping garments
In you, like two parallel lines
The cradle of lightning and man
They swayed in a wind of thorns
Mother of stone, foam of the condors
High reef of the human dawn (na, na, na...)
When the hand is colored with clay
turned into clay
And when the little eyelids
They closed
Full of rough walls
castle towns
And when all the man
Got tangled in his hole
Accuracy was raised
The high site of the human aurora
The highest vessel that contained silence
A life of stone after so many lives
it was written by Pablo Neruda
*"when the clay colored hand"
ohhhh its great to watch people hearing los jaivas, they used to improvise a lot and then record and write the improvisation note by note, I think thats because they always sound so new and fresh, even now after 60 freaking years!!! you could listen to la vida magica, tarka y ocarina (mindblowing), pregon para iluminarse, and it goes on and on...

II (III) - 6:20
all of them weakened waiting for their death, their brief
and daily death -
and their ominous dwindling each day
was like a black cup they trembled while they drained.
III (VI) - 12:17
Then up the ladder of the earth I climbed
through the barbed jungle’s thickets
until I reached you Macchu Picchu.
Tall city of stepped stone,
home at long last of whatever earth
had never hidden in her sleeping clothes.
In you two lineages that had run parallel
met where the cradle both of man and light
rocked in a wind of thorns.
Mother of stone and sperm of condors.
High reef of the human dawn.
IV (VI) - 14:52
On the day the clay-coloured hand
was utterly changed into clay, and when dwarf eyelids closed
upon bruised walls and hosts of battlements,
when all of man in us cringed back into its burrow -
there remained a precision unfurled
on the high places of the human dawn,
the tallest crucible that ever held our silence,
a life of stone after so many lives.

Macchu Picchu
Translated by Nathaniel Tarn (1966)
Regarding the guy in the mask at the end of the video, I get it seems funny at first sight, but holds deep cultural and symbolic meaning.
The mask in the video represents an *Andean ceremonial mask*, specifically related to the worldview of the indigenous peoples of the Andes. These masks were often used in rituals and festivals that connect with nature, ancestors, and the spiritual world. In the context of the video, the mask reinforces the themes of death and transcendence, which are present both in Neruda's poetry and in Los Jaivas' music.
The origin of such masks dates back to the pre-Columbian civilizations of South America, such as the Incas and other Andean peoples. In many Andean cultures, masks had a symbolic role in rituals related to death, fertility, connection with the gods, and spiritual transformation. Rituals with masks were used to mark the transition between the earthly and spiritual worlds, and those who wore them were believed to acquire a special connection with spirits or ancestors.
In the case of La Poderosa Muerte, the mask emphasizes the idea of death as a transcendent and cyclical force, not merely the end of life but also a gateway to the eternal. The powerful relationship between life, death, and nature is a theme Neruda explores in his poem, and Los Jaivas translate it into a musical and visual language that evokes that same sense of mysticism and communion with ancestral history.
.....LIKE..just for ¡LOS JAIVAS!
Greetings from The End Of The World (CHILE)
Un abrazo!
ESCUCHA LA CANCIÓN "TARKA Y OCARINA" ALUCINARÁS CON ELLA. SALUDOS
Very surprised to see you react to a Spanish-language song. Makes me feel special in a way, haha. XD
I know you're not into songs from that language, and that's understandable, but if you do want to look for another good one, I strongly recommend you El Matador by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. It's one of my all-time favorite songs, and I think you might enjoy it too. ^_^
I never said I wasn’t into Spanish language songs hahaha. One of my favourite bands is the Mars Volta, and they sing in Spanish all the bloody time 😂 I’ll add that one to my list though!
jajaja excelente, They returned to the archaeological site look live in Machu Picchu , "Los Jaivas en Machu Picchu ( Grabación Oficial)"
Thanks for this reaction! I looove Los Jaivas, If you don't mind, I would like to recommend you "Sube a nacer conmigo hermano", I think you would love it :)
by the wayy is that the iron giant on your shirt? I love it. I just discovered your channel and I think I'm staying around
It was! ☺️☺️
The powerful Death
What was the Man?
In which part of his open conversation,
between the warehouses and the hisses
En which of his metal movements?
It used to live, the indestructible, the imperishable, the life?
Everyone was fainting, waiting for their death
Their short daily death
and their fateful torment, of each day, used to was,
like a black goblet, that they used to drank trembling.
So, on the scale of the Earth I have climbed
So, on the scale of the Earth I have climbed
among the atrocious tangle of the lost jungles
until you, Macchu Picchu.
High city of scalar stones
Finally, abode of the one who did not hide the earthly, in the abandoned garments.
In you, like two parallel lines
The cradle of lightning and of Man,
swaying in a wind of thorns.
Mother of stone , foam of the condors
high reef of the Human aurora.
When the hand of colour of clay
became clay
and when the small eyelids closed,
full of Rough walls, populated with castles
and when all the Man tangled up in his hole,
accuracy was raised,
the high Site of the Human aurora
the highest vessel that preserved the Silence,
a life of stone, after so many lives.
Is this the lyrics? You’re a goddam genius
@@markabusireactions The song is part of the concept album "Alturas de Macchu Picchu".
@@Graffitti1963 I’ll need to look deeper into this
@@markabusireactionsEstá obra maestra se inspiró en fragmentos de poema "alturas de machupichu"de escritor chileno Pablo Neruda,premio Nobel de literatura.
Maybe Nintendo should be call Los Jaivas for the next Zelda's soundtrack...🤣🤣🤣(no se si en inglés sonará tan gracioso 😅🤣)
Reacc to : Tarka y Ocarina. 😉👍🏻
They should!!
I have reacted to Tarka y Ocarina, but it is a Patreon exclusive, because it got blocked on TH-cam sadly!
Ver y escuchar esta wea volada, es de otro mundo 😂
El mejor tema y una de las obras maestras es bosques virginales
Welcome to the universe of Los Jaivas. Greetings
Thank you!
Another song is Aguila sideral , tarka y ocarina , la conquistada en vivo , canción del sur. Excelent channel
Thank you! 😍
Demasiada risa en tus comentarios, aunque no sorprende por la ignorancia del pueblo Norteamericano
I’m not North American, that’s quite an ignorant statement to make
El gringo esta más volaoo.. Ke la xuxa 😅
Infinito en la tierra, oso capo.
Tarka y Ocarina, corre que te pillo, la conquistada, cancion del sur...pfff a world to choose my scotish? fellow
I actually have a reaction to tarka y ocarina. But it got banned worldwide on TH-cam. So… I was setting up a Patreon account for early access to videos, and exclusive content, I was going to put my video there
And I am Chilean Alergologist and consider that you are very profesional in music, see you
The drummer is playing a trutruka, a traditional Mapuche instrument.
Respect!!! Pictures are about machu pichus folk.
The best 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Hmm🤔 An acoustic piano. The music was very folksy, i found myself wandering thru the shire wondering if i should visit Frodo, knock the little fella over & steal the One Ring. I could get free beer & everything whilst wearing that :)
I’ll not be having jokes! That song was an absolute banger 😂 the music video, if I’m being totally honest, was a waste of a beautiful area, but as long as everyone was having fun 😂
@@markabusireactions No honestly there was nothing much to complain about, Mark....but they really would go down a storm in the Prancing Pony tavern on a friday night. I wouldn't have to pay cos i'm using the One Ring to get in for free.😏
@@GaryHolloway-810 you fool of a took, you can’t use the one ring just to get yourself into gigs 😂😂
@@markabusireactions LMAO.😆 Yeah i see your point. Enough of the L.O.T.R analogies then :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 bard-core mate, if it isn’t a thing, it damn well should be!
Raction to Tarka y ocarina, is the best
❤
Qué lástima que no conozcas la obra del poeta Pablo Neruda, Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1971. El libro Canto General contiene una sección llamada Alturas de Machu Pichu y este tema es la musicalización de parte de este poema.
I have no idea what that says truthfully, but I recognise Novel Prize for Literature, and I own a book by Pablo Neruda, so I shall look more into this!
🇨🇱💯
Very good point of view
Next song: Tarka y Ocarina!!!
You'll be highly ashtonished readind the lyrics. Those are from Pablo Neruda, Nobel Prize.
👍🙏👍
this is a poem
Entraste al universo Jaivas,cada tema es una obra de arte,musica de fusion que te trasporta a otra dimensión. Te recomiendo otro grupo chileno Congreso con los temas El Juego,En todoas las esquinas,Vuelta y vuelta...
Hi there! I used google translate on this, but did not understand the last sentence. What was the name of the band you were recommending?
@@markabusireactionsCongreso. She recomends the songs "el juego" (the Game), "En todas las esquinas" (in all the corners) y "vuelta y vuelta" (round and round).
I really loved your reaction and musical analysis!
@@xelaguzmans ahh okay! That makes more sense, thank you very much!
👏👏👏👏👏
ALTURAS DE MACCHU PICCHU de Pablo Neruda premio nobel de literatura.Los Jaivas lo mejor. Read the poem,gringo,maybe you`ll learn a few things.Saludos desde Viña del Marx,xile.
I read it after I heard the song, and it’s beautiful! I already owned a book of Nerudas poetry, I just didn’t realise that’s what the song was!
Tienes que leer a neruda para entender a los jaivas, 😊😊
Nonsense? Nobel Prize Literature at hand and on your ears!
Yes… the nonsense was referring to the video hahaha, with the wee guy running around up to all sorts of mischief! 😂
…. Obi one One has taught you well young apprentice!
I’m sorry, the song is incredible but the video has me in fucking stitches 😂
@@markabusireactions 1970’s … It all made sense back then … ask any 70’s artist!
@@rohan-qd6py if I can see them through the cloud of whatever they are smoking 😂
jajajaja qué manera de cagarse de la risa con cosas que para nosotros son normales o sublimes, jajajaja.
¡Lo siento mucho! ¡No quise causar ninguna ofensa!
@@markabusireactions Don't worry. Your reactions just made me laugh. Everything's fine. Greetings from Chile.
@@Rumata69 I’m glad you enjoyed it! I have another one coming soon!

"Mira Niñita"
Tarka y Ocarina. Plis, thanks bros.🇨🇱
Entiendo tu actitud ... El toca solo con su uña de ahi el sonido extraño al tocar el solo de guitarra ... Oscuras pentatonicas y demases .... Saludos ......
reacciona a, Bosques Virginales, conocerás la esencia de los Jaivas, únicos
You needed to use the TH-cam translator to understand what they were singing
El amigo está terrible volao jaja
I am clean living!!
Great react
Please watch Bosques Virginales - Los Jaivas
Thank you! I shall add it to the list, I have a few other Los Jaivas songs to do first!
Porfavor reacciona a bosques virginales otra obra maestra escondida
me da la impresion de que esta reaccion es de una persona que no aprecia nada. ademas porque nonsense. ..acaso no sabe que significa sin sentido en el genero literario.
Este hombre..,sabra para dónde va la micro... Los Jaivas...son los Jaivas y no risas estúpidas...
I like your reaction bro, Coming from the sixties, of course there are influences from, Pink Floyd, Genesis, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Yes, Flairck etc...
What makes them unique is the mix of all these styles and Latin American music.
There are many bands in South America from the seventies doing pro rock..
The Jaivas are unique..
Big regards..
Recommend Sof Machine 5
Los Jaivas don't have an influences . They "shut down " the radio in 1968 and makes a new sounds trough improvisations until 1971 when published their first álbum . They are the influences in others artists.
@@nelsonfuentes9175 I agree, but being an album from 1980, it's absolutely logic to have received some new influences. They had also evolved during their career. Regards!!
Amigo los jaivas son la influencia
now listen to "aguila sideral" by them
... una obra maestra... una joya de la música...
