Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Although it looks like there's a lot of chords this song is quite easy as it's mainly a progression downward
from Db to Eb, then Ab and then it begins again. The verses follow a different structure but it's more
straightforward. Kinda.
