Aché is a word of Yoruba origin, commonly used in Afro-Caribbean cultures, particularly in Venezuela where Canserbero is from. It signifies good fortune, blessing, divine energy, or power.
In the context of the song, Canserbero uses it to represent the positive energy and good vibes that he and his team carry with them as they travel and work. It's a unique and culturally rich word that adds depth to his message of gratitude and positive movement.
Get ready to feel the gratitude! Canserbero and Apache's "Agradezco" is a heartfelt thank you note to everyone who supported their journey in music. They kick things off by appreciating "toda esa people que pa acá nos trago" [all those people who brought us here], from listeners who value their work to those in the highest and lowest social classes, especially the folks from the "barrios bajos" [low neighborhoods].
It's a shout-out to everyone who came to their shows, bought tickets, sang along, and even those who helped them get in. They also give a big thanks to the media for inviting them to programs and promoting their music, as well as their entire staff. Canserbero and Apache are all about showing love to the cities that welcomed them, the sound engineers, and the whole Hip Hop movement that keeps creating new talent. They even give a special nod to the person who told them to always be grateful before leaving the stage: "antes de bajarme de la tarima agradeciera" [before getting off the stage, I should give thanks]. It's a powerful reminder to never forget the people who helped you along the way.
