Story behind the song
El Canto de Ultreia es una melodia tradicional que data de la Edad Media. Era entonada por los peregrinos del Camino de Santiago, a su entrada en la Catedral de dicha ciudad, para celebrar la llegada a su destino. Era costumbre, a lo largo de todo el camino, saludarse al cruzarse con otros peregrinos, diciendo: «Ultreia!». Esta es una version original, que incorpora, ademas de coros femeninos y masculinos, percusion africana, guitarras distorsionadas y una alegre flauta de pico. Texto en latin.
Lyrics
Dum Pater familias, Rex universorum, donaret provincias jus apostolorum. Jacobus Hispanias lux illustrat morum. Primus ex apostolis Martyr Jero solimis Jacobus egregio sacer est martyrio Herrus Sanctiagu, Grot Sanctiagu, E Ultreia, e suseia, Deus aia nos?
