As is the case with all their music, Nunca es Tarde is freely available for download from Canteca de Macao website. After listening to it for a year, I finally got hold of the real thing. It is as diverse and fresh as their last album, with some arrangements getting a bit more sophisticated without losing focus and danceability. Odd and shifting time signatures (Fuente de plata, Tierra, Chacarera), reggae (Desnúdame, Tu voz), rumba (Lo más bello), salsa (Libre, Perdío) and, of course, cumbia, all in Canteca’s inimitable style. And when they speak of love, which is often, they do it without hypocrisy, banality or profanity. Could you wish for more?
Desnúdame,
cuélate en mi piel, desátame,
quiero sentir todo tu ser, quiero sentir y enloquecer
Desnúdate,
y abrázame y no me sueltes ya,
hoy soy presa, soy presa de tu ser,
esencia, esencia de mujer.
Quiero sentir las cosas que un día
habían dejado de existir,
enfermedad que habita en mi
que hacía estragos y no me deja vivir,
y bésame y acúnate esta noche conmigo
y déjate que por un día lo mismo lo olvido.
Bésame y acúnate esta noche conmigo
y déjate que por un día lo mismo lo olvido.
Desnúdame.
Actually, there is more. To my surprise, the box contained (not mentioned by Amazon) a bonus DVD. A 55-minute documentary by Miguel Sanchez Maccas is dedicated to Canteca’s modus operandi (copyleft, crowdfunding etc.); I would dismiss it “for fans only” variety if not for Lo más bello performed live in La Fugitiva during the album presentation. It also has a promotional short and the title track music video.
