SONG MEANING

From the opening verse, Marta Gómez paints a vivid mural of women's hands at work: sweeping floors, stoking fires, writing love letters, and threading looms. Every image honors the daily, often unseen, labor that keeps homes warm and cultures alive. These hands pray, knead dough, and embrace children who leave for distant horizons, blending earth, maize, and salt into a portrait of resilience that stretches from the countryside to the sea.

The chorus rises like a collective cheer, celebrating "manos de colores" that clap to the rhythm of truth they have brought into the world. By spotlighting different textures—strong, trembling, sweaty, dusty—the song turns individual stories into a shared anthem of freedom and dignity. Musical guests Martirio, Andrea Echeverry, and Anat Cohen add flamenco flair, rock grit, and soulful clarinet, transforming the tribute into a vibrant reminder that when women's hands join together, they weave the future.
