Pitos literally translates to "whistles". While it's a common word, its use in this song is particularly engaging and adds to the festive, high-energy atmosphere.
In the context of "Sigan Bailando," the line "Suenen los pitos" (Let the whistles sound) is an invitation to join the party and make some noise. It evokes images of a lively celebration, encouraging listeners to participate actively in the joy and rhythm of the music.
Get ready to move with "Sigan Bailando"! This song is a pure celebration of dance and music, no matter where you are or what style you prefer. Billo's Caracas Boys, with Milly Quezada, are basically saying, "Hey, if it's Bolero or Disco, Cumbia or Salsa, Merengue or Rock and Roll, everyone dances!" They believe music brings people together, calling countries "hermanos" [brothers].
They mention the merengue from here, the samba from Brazil, and flamenco from Spain, showing how music is for singing and enjoying. The whole point is to "no pares de bailar vamos a seguir" [don't stop dancing, let's keep going]! They want you to "Suban la radio" [Turn up the radio], "Despierte al vecino" [Wake up the neighbor], and just keep dancing. It's all about letting loose and having a good time with rhythm.
