De noche como te están criticando
Ayyy.. que criticando
Los que no les gusta trabajar
Ay, que no me.. que no me gusta trabajar
De que no tiene mujer
Ay, de que no tiene mujer
Ni hijos que mantener
Ni hijos que hay que mantener
Por eso a ti te critican
Ay, por eso a ti te critican
Los que no tienen que hacer.

De noche como te están castigando
Ay, que castigando
Esa niña que le gusta enamorar
Ay, que le gu.. que le gusta enamorar
Que Morena tuvo que ser
Ay, morena tuvo que ser
En su cuerpo de enloquecer
Ay, en su cuerpo de enloquecer
Como me siga mirando
Ay, como me siga mirando
Me la tengo que comer.

Si.. si.. si.. si..

Muchacho barrigón
no puede caminar
si no come chocolate
y no come pan.
Muchacho barrigón
no puede caminar
si no come chocolate
y no come pan.

Pan pan pan y chocolate, pan pan pan y nada más
Pan pan pan y chocolate, pan pan pan y nada más
Pan pan pan y chocolate, pan pan pan y nada más.

Por que te llaman borracha
Ay, por que, por que, por que
Si el vino jamás probaste.
Ay, que no, que no, que no

Por que me llaman borracha
Ay, por que, por que, por que
Si el vino jamás probé.
Por que me llaman borracha
si jamás me emborraché
yo me emborracho de amores
los ojos me dan placer
y en el vino no se encuentra
la locura del querer.

Muchacho barrigón
no puede caminar
si no come chocolate
y no come pan.
Muchacho barrigón
no puede caminar
si no come chocolate
y no come pan.

Pan pan pan y chocolate, pan pan pan y nada más
Pan pan pan y chocolate, pan pan pan y nada más
Pan pan pan y chocolate, pan pan pan y nada más.

Pan pan pan y chocolate, pan pan pan y nada más
Pan pan pan y chocolate, pan pan pan y nada más
Pan pan pan y chocolate, pan pan pan y nada más.

From the world, for the world.

Once upon a time, music fit neatly into well-defined sections at record stores. Genres like rock, pop, jazz, salsa, tango and classical all had their own artists, audiences and venues.
Cuban music though, was always the exception to the rule. For generations, from Ernesto Lecuona to Israel López Cachao and beyond, top Cuban musicians have been able to toggle easily between styles.

 

From the infectious rhythms of Mambo, Son, Guaracha and Charanga to heart wrenching down tempo genres like Bolero and Fílin, every major Cuban star from Beny Moré to Celia Cruz has prided themselves on this innately Cuban ability to create quality across many genres.

 

Aymée Nuviola, like Cuba itself, embodies that magical blend. Born into a family of musicians, some of her earliest memories are at the piano, working through melodies between lessons. Later, as she was receiving her classical training at Cuba’s top musical academy, she recalls her fascination with all kinds of music, from Debussy to Bossa Nova.

 

In her latest production, “First Class to Havana” Aymee has seamlessly blended her influences into musical creations and performances that leave listeners thirsty for more.
Aymée’s music is an island without borders, open to the world, friendly, upbeat, smart and willing to share her most personal, intimate truths with the world.
