Music is a variable component in the soul of people. It reflects the collective spirit, its dramas, its achievements, its characteristic features of social and psychological model. It is also the raw material, component and seasoning that gives flavor, life and substance to the so-called sciences, such as: History, sociology, and so many others. However, for us, gauchos from the countryside - a species in evident extinction, with all due respect to the cliché - for us, music is the very physiognomy of the land. It is Soul, it is heart, it is blood shaped in an inner and uniform vibration, opening routes, pointing out guidelines, attracting and repelling lost signals from the central core of spirituality. LUIZ MARENCO understands and is an example of this earthly philosophy, of the legitimate song of the gaucho people. From his first work, he was concerned in his singing with exalting man, customs, habits, work, in short, the legitimate culture of our people. José João Sampaio da Silva -- Poet and Writer
