Okay, I'll go first!! I just recorded where I'm at with "Buscadores de Verdad" by Diego Palma. My hubby helped me find a picking pattern I can handle -- and there's a fun, strummy ending. Brief edit: my guitar is tuned to 432Hz and I have the capo on the 4th fret. Also, I'm a former classical soprano and I've been working on blending my voice. I'm used to singing while standing up, but I can't play guitar while standing up yet! 🤪 In other words -- breath support is its own task and I can only focus on so many things at a time 🪄 I've love your thoughts and support for this brave newbie guitar player. Thanks so much!!

Hello friends, I wanted to share a medicine song that came across my YouTube feed that I immediately fell in love with. It's in Portuguese and the meaning is gorgeous. "Chamo Força Chamo Luz" (I Call Upon Strength, I Call Upon Light) https://youtu.be/FM-kBluxQN8?si=SBYeakjAmoykb1kB

Oh... Watch out for the bright blue light flying Friends at night Or you might get zapped away Heed what I say and you very well may Be blessed with enjoying another day Oh... Decomission disarm dismantle Before it's too much too late We cannot afford such an astronomical Catastrophicality Oh... 'Love one another as I have loved you' Is the 11th Commandment hardly anyone seems to do anymore Hearts are like Minds are like parachutes are like Eyes are like doors They work when they're open as that's what they're for Oh... We know that Animals don't want us to eat them For every time we try to they run away And we know that Plants do want us to eat them For we don't have to end them and they surround their babies with tasty nutritionalities Oh... Woohoo hoo ooowoo hoo oowoo oo woo oooooo Woo oo oo hoo oo woo oo oo woo oo Oh... Whistling... Soprano Ukulele (though will have to look up the cords). Blessed with this song walking around in the night at the edge of 'civilization' waking in the Dream while turning around to 'get back to the Garden'. 1st posting of me playing an original (or any) song, and have RARELY played Music around others or videod my playing. (A few hours busking a few months ago to check it out, a couple times for Mom and once for Mom & Dad, two songs with one of my Sisters, once for a lifelong best Friend and that's mostly it, so far.) Since my religious and political views are as follows... I view religions from within & I view politics from afar ...this song is sharing my awakening, more than anything else. Excited to see how well Cantos Medicinas may be played with Ukulele, as well as for the time when I will have a Guitar to learn them without inter-instrumental-transliteration. Have other songs to share that may be closer to being considered as Cantos Medicinas, though this is a quick one which I don't have to read the words from paper, and it is still blossoming. I am grateful for this space, community, chance and the encouragement to musically share that which is nourishing with others.

I got to play this with 2 professional musicians in a studio -- and it was so much fun! (Yeah I was still nervous, but I did it!!) I'm attaching the PDF chord sheet for anyone who wants to learn this song. It's simple because I'm a newbie player -- embellish as you like! The choruses (where you see brackets) are meant to be repeated as many times as you like, usually with many people singing along.
