Lenca Lullaby (El Salvador) Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Lenca people of eastern El Salvador, who carry a long tradition of geometric-patterned pottery. Lenca pottery is traditionally shaped entirely by hand, coiled and smoothed without a wheel and fired in open pits, a technique passed down almost exclusively among women across generations, and though the Lenca language itself is no longer spoken as a living language today, Lenca cultural identity and craft traditions like this one remain very much alive. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
