Grab an insecticide and get ready to dance Chikungun Plena

Why an insecticide?

If you are planning to visit Puerto Rico during Christmas you need to know we are having some problems with mosquitoes, especially with the Aedes Aegypti, which is spreading a disease called chikungunya. We strongly advise that you get a good insect repellent, otherwise you may find yourself in bed, arthritic, for about a week. Nothing lethal, though. You will be ready for parrandas within a few days.

The “Chikungun” song and the Plena’s oral traditon

Plena is one of the native music rhythms on Puerto Rico. It originated in working-class neighborhoods in the coastal regions of the island.  During the time, it was used to  communicate issues of social justice and community. In the good tradition of Plena, a music group called Plenarmonica has come up with the Chikungun Plena, a song that, with humor and candor, documents this arthritic period of our history.

Listen to the “Chikungun” song

Here is the song. It might become a hit during Christmas, make sure you can sing one or two lines to impress your friends:

“Chikungun” Lyrics

Chinkun chinkun kun chikun chikuncunya
Cuidao que ese mosquito te va a picar
Chinkun chinkun kun chikun chikuncunya
Cuidao que ese mosquito te va a contaminar

Cuidao con el Aegypty que te da la punzá
Cuidao que el albopictus que te quiere encadenar

Chinkun chinkun kun chikun chikungunya
Cuidao que ese mosquito te va a picar
Chinkun chinkun kun chikun chikungunya
Cuidao que ese mosquito te va a contaminar

De la picá es el virus mas fuerte que Tarzán
Te romperá los huesos y te va a escriquillar

Chinkun chinkun kun chikun chikungunya
Cuidao que ese mosquito te va a picar
Chinkun chinkun kun chikun chikungunya
Cuidao que ese mosquito te va a contaminar

Te duele hasta la cabeza, te duele hasta el dolor

Chinkun chinkun kun chikun chikungunya
Cuidao que ese mosquito te va a picar
