'SORPESA'' PEDRO NAVAJA PT. 2 THE SEQUEL

THIS IS A BIG SURPRISE TO ME AND I'M SURE TO A LOT OF PEDRO NAVAJA FANS.

THERE IS A PART #2 TO THE STORY OF PEDRO NAVAJA. RUBEN BLADES WROTE ANOTHER SONG CALLED "SORPESA"

READ THIS EXCERPT OF "RUBEN BLADES AND HIS CAST OF CHARACTERS BY Frank M. Figueroa.

LIKE THE PHOENIX FROM EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY, PEDRO NAVAJA MANAGES TO RISE AGAIN FROM HIS ASHES. IN A SEQUEL SONG ENTITLED "SORPRESA" RUBÉN BLADES TELLS OF HOW THE DRUNKEN BUM WHO PICKED UP THE GUN, THE MONEY AND THE KNIFE WAS EVENTUALLY ROBBED BY ANOTHER PREDATOR. THE VICTIM IS FORCED TO GIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE BODIES. THE ROBBER FINDS THE BODIES AND IS STABBED TO DEATH BY PEDRO NAVAJA, WHO APPARENTLY HAD NOT BEEN MORTALLY WOUNDED. PEDRO PUTS HIS OWN IDENTIFICATION PAPERS IN THE BACK POCKET OF THE ROBBER IN ORDER TO FOIL THE INVESTIGATION. HE LEAVES APPARENTLY FREE TO CONTINUE HIS MISERABLE LIFE.

LISTEN TO THE SONG, "SORPRESA" AND LEAVE ME A COMMENT ABOUT IT BELOW IN THE COMMENT SECTION
