Nube de Hielo


Nube de Hielo translated as "Ice Cloud" is a traditional ballad created by the Canarian composer Benito Cabrera. The Canarians show a great of affection for this song, being deeply rooted in the Canary Islands just as the song Scarborough Fair to England and Waltzing Matilda for Australians.
The song has been covered many times. Nube de Hielo is an instrumental melody that has no lyrics really. Although the composer Andrés Molina wrote a letter and Chago Melián is the singer who has sung it more frequently. According to the own Benito Cabrera, the song is inspired by the Teide, especially in the sound of the silence that he found in this place.
