    "Vivencias en Clave Cubana" is the debut solo album of Cuban cuatro master Kiki Valera, a member of the Familia Valera Miranda, a century-old group and one of the most important purveyors of the Son Cubano. While completely dedicated to the performance of traditional Cuban music, Valera was exposed to Pat Metheny, Wes Montgomery and Chick Corea through cassette tapes while in school and those jazz inspirations elevate the quality of his cuatro solos in subtle and beautiful ways. Joined here by childhood friend, renowned Cuban vocalist Coco Freeman, Valera and his exciting ensemble pair 12 original songs with beautiful instrumental work in ways that will make you dance, laugh, and possibly shed a tear. Cuba's traditional music has a history of constant evolution from its very beginnings. With "Vivencias en Clave Cubana," Kiki Valera continues in that spirit.

about

Déjame al Menos is a bolero of desire in which the singer offers
everything, even his very life, to his love.

lyrics

Déjame por esta noche
Tocarte el alma con mi vida misma
Dame refugio en tus ganas
Para que salve mis ansias

Naufrago de mis heridas
Llego a tu playa buscando salida
A esta negra desventura
Que mis pasiones mutilan

Déjame darte mis besos
Mis manos y mi corazón
Líbrame de este despecho
Que me nubla la razón

Déjame llenarte de colores
Así como las flores tu tierno corazón
Déjame ser primavera
Ser el arroyito que empape tu ser

Deja que cuide tus noches
De oscuro temor

Déjame al menos morirme
Para eternizar este idílico amor

For our listeners who don't speak Spanish, we offer this English-language guide to our lyrics. It is not a word for word translation (that never works well in any language), and you won't be able to sing along in English, but we hope that it will help you better understand our songs.

DEJAME AL MENOS (At least, allow me to…)

Allow me for tonight to
Touch your soul with my own life
Give me refuge in your desires
So my yearnings are fulfilled

Shipwrecked by my wounds
Washed up on your shores looking for a way out
From this dark misfortune
That is crippling my passion

Let me give you my kisses
My hands and my heart
Deliver me from this despair
That clouds my reason
Allow me to fill you with colors
Allow me to fill your heart
With colors like flowers
Let me be your spring,
be the little stream that nourishes
Let me protect you
From the darkness of night
Allow me to immortalize this idyllic love
