"Carlito Buey" A classical changui with acoustic guitar in it's original and pure form.
For almost half a century Orquesta Reve ? later known as El Charangon ? has been among Cuba's best-loved and most influential bands. Since founder Elio Reve's tragic death in 1997, his son Elio Jr. has kept the tradition alive. He has boldly forged his own direction with a traditional but contemporary take on the irresistible Afro-Cuban sounds of changui and timba.
Hey, I want to invite you to come with me to dance a tasty and traditional changüí. I want to invite you to come with me. The changüí is about to start and I want to sing with you. That's how I get inspired by a changüí like this one That I will always defend with bongo, maraca and güiro. Hey, look, boy, the tasty tresero has arrived. Chapea Gigante! The devil, The devil! To sing you the changüí you have to go into the woods, you have to listen to the mockingbird in its beautiful trill, hear the bongo chime, the maracas resonate and this rhythm that I bring you no one will be able to match. I'm going to the hill. Walking takes away the cold. Go up the guajiro hill. Go down the criollo hill. To the rhythm of a serenade. Hey, how I come! Hey, how I come! Singing a tasty changüí. Loma del Chivo. Chito Latamblet, Sindín Gaínza, Pucho who has already left...
Oye, quiero invitarte para que vengas conmigo a bailar changüí sabroso y tradicional.
A tí te quiero invitar para que vengas conmigo.
Que el changüí ya va a empezar y quiero cantar contigo.
Así es como yo me inspiro en un changüí como éste
Que siempre defenderé con bongó, maraca y güiro.
Oye, mira, muchacho, que llegó el tresero sabroso. ¡Chapea Gigante!
¡El diablo, El diablo!
Para cantarte el changüí
hay que meterse en el monte,
hay que escuchar al sinsonte
en su bonito trinar,
oír el bongó repicar,
las maracas resonar
y este ritmo que te traigo nadie lo podrá igualar.
Para la loma yo me voy.
Andando se quita el frío.
Sube la loma guajiro.
Baja la loma criollo.
Al compás de una serenata.
¡Oye como vengo!
¡Oye como vengo!
Cantando un changüí sabroso.
Loma del Chivo.
