Here is a rare combination of the Calypso influence mixed with Tamborera music. The song is dedicated to his family. Interestingly enough his brother, Marcos Wilson, is the proprietor of a beautiful nightclub tavern with the name of Club Windsor in Alonso’s honor. Observe the following musical taste of Mingy’s trumpet solo, as well as the flourishes by ‘’Jef’ and Alonso.
lyrics
Yes, I come from Panama . . It’s the land of my father...
Yes, I come from Panama . . It’s the land of my mother.
My brother too, My sister too. We all come from Panama.
One cousin comes from Granada. My aunt lives in Jamaica.
My uncle went to Canada, but my father came to Panama.
Columbus discovered this happy place which consists of people of every race. The Americans build a great Canal; people everywhere enjoy our carnival.
