Bachata en Fukuoka

Juan Luis Guerra's Bachata en Fukuoka, 2010 Tropical Song of the Year - from 2010 Latin Grammy's Album of the Year "A Son de Guerra". This beautiful bachata song was written by Guerra in Japan, during a visit to the town of Fukuoka. The video portraits a love story that survived absence and time... and lovers who held on to a memory from their youth and kept it fresh through un-aging love: Song lyrics are below. Here's a link to an unofficial English translation. Dile a la mañana que se acerca mi sueño que lo que se espera con paciencia…

Calle 13 - Tocarte to'a I call this song "Violin Notes". You will figure out why. It takes skill to rhyme and be funny, so I give Calle 13 credit for their lyrics, though maybe not so much for the video?

This song titled "Crossing Niagara on a Bike" is a metaphor to the state of public health care in the Dominican Republic and the scarcity of the most basic instruments in public hospitals. Although the song was written in the late 90's, not much has changed. To a land who can dance its laments, to sense and social sensibility. El Niagara en Bicicleta - Juan Luis Guerra Me dio una sirimba un domingo en la mañana cuando menos lo pensaba caí redondo, como una guanábana, sobre la alcantarilla será…

Ojala que llueva cafe – Juan Luis Guerra

Ojala que Llueva Cafe - Juan Luis Guerra: Born in the heart of the homeland with thoughts of hope for the underprivileged, who are many. In the eyes of the old doña, in the song of the children. " Give me your tired, your poor": Ojalá que llueva café!

Why did you heal me when I was wounded?

If today you leave me heartbroken just the same.
