    "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

In Desenfreno, the singer proclaims that he will die of pain if the object of
his desire does not return his love.

lyrics

Cuando yo te veo se me aplaca el alma
Se detiene el tiempo y me abraza la calma
La mirada tierna de tus ojos negros
Son como palomas que agitan las alas

Alas que se mueven al vaivén del viento
Son de tu cintura, rico movimiento

No sabes lo que me pasa
Cada vez que yo te veo
Yo me pongo como brasa
Se me agita el desenfreno

Y sigo esperando aquí por el dia en que tu decidas
A ser primavera de todos mis días
Para que tu amor sea el aqua pura que limpia el verso
Y llene de flores todo mi universo

Ay pero amor no me desprecies que sin ti muero
Ven y cura mi dolor quita mi desvelo

Coro-1:
Si sigue pasando el tiempo
Sin que me brindes tu amor
Yo voy a perder la calma
Y moriré de dolor

Si sigue pasando así
Sin que me des tu cariño yo,
Yo voy a morir de pena yo,
Yo moriré de dolor

Coro-1: repeat

Cuando te veo cerquita
Mi cuerpo empieza a vibrar
Se me para el pensamiento
Ay mami me vas a matar, a matar


Coro-1: repeat
Tus ojos hermosos
Tu boca sensual
No sabes que lo provocas
Con tu cuerpo escultural

Coro-1: repeat

Suave que me estas matando
Suave que estas acabando
Suave que me estas matando
De tanto dolor

Eh…. Yo moriré

Coro-2:

Y moriré de dolor

Yo moriré de tristeza mami mira

Coro-2: repeat

Sin tu cuerpo lindo yo no puedo mas

Coro-2: repeat

Yo moriré

Coro-2: repeat

Cuando de veo pasando
Hasta mareo me da

Coro-2: repeat

¿Que voy a hacer?
¿Que pasará?

Coro-2: repeat

Sin tus besos en mis noches
Yo no sé que pasará

Coro-2: repeat

Coro-1: repeat


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.

DESENFRENO (Debauchery)

When I see you my soul is soothed
Time stands still and calm embraces me
The tender look of your black eyes
They are like doves that flutter their wings

Wings that move to the sway of the wind
That come from your waist, lovely movement

You don't know what happens to me
Every time i see you
It's like I'm on hot coals
it drives me wild

And I'll continue waiting here for the day you decide
To be the spring of all my days
So that your love is like the pure water that inspires these words
And fills all my universe with flowers

Oh but love, don't disregard me because without you I die
Come and cure my pain, take away my sleeplessness
Chorus:
If time goes on
Without bestowing your love on me
I will lose my serenity
and I will die of pain
