In the post with the song Dunaj by Janusz Prusinowski (you can read it again here<\/a>) I told you that it was my first season’s greeting. Because here you are the second one!\u00a0\u270c\ufe0f<\/strong><\/h4>\n
<\/a>Yesterday I\u00a0was in El Carpio de Tajo, the village where most of the\u00a0vig\u00fcelis\u00a0<\/em>are settled and where the band was born,\u00a0to make some videos for a documentary film and, after the serious work, we had time to sing together a little. And now I share this moment with you, from\u00a0the intimate environment of their rehearsal\u00a0room. If you need anything else about\u00a0Vig\u00fcela<\/a>, just let me know.<\/h6>\n
? This carol you have below is probably the most popular in Spain. The video below has subtitles in English for the lyrics.<\/span><\/div>\n

At the end of the song you see a change of concept, let’s say: it\u00a0starts talking directly to the woman who is listening, who is told that she does not look stingy. This is because this song, and many others, are sung from house to house, requesting the inhabitants to come out\u00a0and give something to eat or a coin to those who are singing. This custom of requesting from house to house in exchange for the song is called to “request the\u00a0aguinaldo<\/em>“, or “aguilando<\/em>“, depending on the region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
