"El mismo Sol"- Under the Same Sun (Choreography)

To finish the Project, as well as the school year, we've chosen to sing and dance a song that could be a typical summer song to celebrate unity between people and different cultures, happiness, holidays, summer, etc.

We have prepared a choreography which is easy to follow and learn by children, since the gestures are related to the lyrics.

HERE ARE THE LYRICS TO THE SONG:

"El Mismo Sol"

 

Te digo claro claro
no es nada raro raro
así se puede amor

Un mundo enano enano
estamos mano a mano
solo hace falta el amor
se puede amor

Yo quiero que este sea el mundo que conteste
del este hasta oeste
y bajo el mismo sol
ahora nos vamos
sí juntos celebramos
aquí todos estamos bajo el mismo sol

Y bajo el mismo sol

Saca lo malo malo
no digas paro paro
vale la pena mí amor, la pena mí amor
no hay fronteras-eras
será lo que tu quieras
lo que tu quieras amor
se puede amor

Yo quiero que este sea el mundo que conteste
del este hasta oeste
y bajo el mismo sol
ahora nos vamos
sí juntos celebramos
aquí todos estamos bajo el mismo sol

Y bajo el mismo sol

Y bajo el mismo sol

Quiero que el mundo se mundo se mundo se
quiero que el mundo se una mí amor
quiero que el mundo se mundo se mundo se
quiero que el mundo se una mí amor na mí amor

Yo quiero que este sea el mundo que conteste
del este hasta oeste
y bajo el mismo sol
ahora nos vamos
sí juntos celebramos
aquí todos estamos bajo el mismo sol

Y bajo el mismo sol

Ahora nos vamos
sí juntos celebramos
aquí todos estamos bajo el mismo sol
bajo el mismo sol, bajo el mismo sol

 

 

Here is the link to the song "Bajo el mismo sol"

 

These photos show pupils in Y3 rehearsing and doing the steps and gestures to the song:

 



I say clearly clearly

It is not unusual, weird

 

 

So we can, love

 

A world dwarf dwarf

 

We are hand by hand

Only need love

You can, my love

 

 

I want this...



...to be the world to answer

 

From East to West

 

 

and under the same sun

 

Now we go

 

Yes, we celebrate together

 

 

Here we are...

all under the same sun.
 



Brings out the bad bad

Do not say stop stop

 

it worth worth, my love, my love




 

 

   

no borders - you were were

will be what you want...

 

 

...Love, what you want

You can, my love

I want this to be the world to answer

from east to west

and under the same sun

Now we go

Yes we celebrate together

Here we are all

under the same sun

and under the same sun

and under the same sun

 

 

 

 

 

And... this is the final choreography, performed by Y3C students. :)

 

 

Happy summer!!!

 

 

 

 

 



 



LA TARARA (SPANISH SONG AND DANCE)

La Tarara is a Federico García Lorca´s poem wrote from some popular songs. It is said that this song began to be sung in the nineteenth century in Soria (Spain) and is possibly of Sephardic origin. Finally, it became into a song sung by children while playing.

There have been different versions of this traditional song retaining more or less the chorus.

How to build a cajon drum, "cajón flamenco"

Here are the steps to build a typical flamenco drum. It's easy to make, but not that easy to play!

 

Children might need help from an adult or they can just help the teacher to make one in the classroom, painting and decorating it.

 

It'd be fun for them to have this instrument in the classroom to use it as an accompaniment for some songs and festivities.

 

 

STEP 1: You need to get plywood to build the surface, or use an old box (wine box, for example) as the base.

 

STEP 2: Depending on the size you want, cut the pieces of plywood to the correct measurements:

 



 

STEP 3: Trace a 12cm diameter hole on the rear piece of the box:

 

 

STEP 4: Glue all the pieces together with the basic frame.

 

(*optional: One of  the distinctive things about  the sound of a cajón is the snare-drum-like rattle when hitting it. If you want to make it  you must attach strings with clips or tiny metal materials to the inside of the drum).

 

STEP 5: Apply pressure after glueing or use clamps or straps to make it stronger:

 

 

 

STEP 6: Now children can do their part. They can decorate the cajón as they wish. They can use different coloured sprays for each side of the box and add some shapes to it to make it their own style.

    

 

 

 

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW THE INSTRUMENT SOUNDS. LOOK HOW THE ARTISTS PLAY IT.
