Sample excerpt
La primera vez me dio pena cantar en grupo, me sabía mal la voz y peor la letra. A la media hora ya no estaba escuchándome, que era exactamente de lo que se trataba.
Repite conmigo, no importa cómo suene, que aquí no hay público, solo hay ronda. Lo que se canta muchas veces deja de ser tuyo y se vuelve de todos.
Workshop note — Primera persona, pretérito a presente, participativa. El kirtan es llamada y respuesta comunitaria: la letra debe invitar sin reproducir mantras sánscritos reales, que pertenecen a una tradición viva. A 90 BPM acelera la repetición hacia el final.
