A real verse
Grandma, you cooked me a Sunday I keep,
no recipe, just the sound of your name.
You said a stew can also be a song,
and I hum it still, though the kitchen's not the same.
From «Sunday Stew» (certificate MUS-9EXJ9A), in Acoustic Ballad: an example made with MUSAI Song, a sample story about a grandmother and her Sunday cooking.
Step by step
Tell the story
Write who she was: what she called you, what she cooked, what she always said and what goes on her ofrenda.
Pick the style
There are 564 styles, each with its own page. For this one, bolero ranchero, traditional mariachi, son jarocho or an acoustic ballad usually fit.
Edit the lyrics
Before it's sung, you can change every word, rewrite a verse or redo a section.
Hear the sample, then send it
You hear a sample before you pay. Then you get the lyrics, the sung song, an illustrated plate and a numbered certificate, and you send it with a link.
Two styles to start with
Each style page explains when to pick it. The button opens your song with that style already chosen; you can change it later.
If you live in the US and can't be at the family altar in Mexico, the song travels by link: your family can play it in front of her photo while you listen from wherever you are.
In the MUSAI Song catalog, 75 style pages recommend their style for grandparents. Bolero Ranchero, Son Jarocho and Huapango Huasteco are among the Spanish-native ones.
