LYRICS
(Spanish)
De Alto Cedro voy para Marcané
Luego a Cueto voy para Mayarí.
El cariño que te tengo
Yo no lo puedo negar
Se me sale la babita
Yo no lo puedo evitar.
Cuando Juanica y Chan Chan
En el mar cernían arena
Como sacudía el ‘jibe’
A Chan Chan le daba pena.
Limpia el camino de paja
Que yo me quiero sentar
En aquel tronco que veo
Y así no puedo llegar.
De Alto Cedro voy para Marcané
Luego a Cueto voy para Mayarí.
(English)
I’m going from Alto Cedro
to Marcané
Then from Cueto, I’m going
to Mayarí.
The love I have for you I cannot deny
My mouth is watering
I just can’t help myself.
When Juanika and Chan Chan
Sifted sand together on the beach
How her bottom shook and
Chan Chan was aroused!
Clean the dry sugar cane
leaves from the path
So I can get to that trunk
I want to sit down.
I’m going from Alto Cedro
to Marcané
Then from Cueto, I’m going
to Mayarí.

I lost my documents in Mexico when I was 21 and couldn’t get back to United States for few days. I remember sitting in a hotel balcony in Puerto Vallarta staring at the sunset and this song was playing on the radio. Although I was stressed about my situation I thought to myself “life is beautiful indeed”....

Dear 'Chan Chan', I have known you for many years now. I have danced with you, on my own, & with strangers, & with loved ones too, some now gone. I have played you, sang you & even performed you a handful of times. You are one of my song-friends. A piece of music that has grown with me over the years, & collected memories. I don't often listen to you, but when I do, it is always with an intention. A homecoming within myself. A moment of nostalgia. A need for a good cry. A soft solitary dance. And you are always there, welcoming me back, every time. Thank you.

Having been to Cuba I can imagine this in somewhere like the Hotel Seville or a music hall and as said people old and young dancing, the country now has a faded grandeur about it, a beautiful country, the people the music the food, the cigars and rum (my personal favourites) I would go back in a heart beat, this time I'd want a motorbike to ride though so I can go out and explore on my own and not just go on organised trips the more touristy bits.

This is one of my mother's favorite songs. She turns 60 today and keep singing it. With a broken spanish. She has a beautiful voice and likes the melody a lot. When I was 17, i left my little countryside for a few days in the beautiful city of Bordeaux, France, where I live now. I went out to a cuban bar with my friend, and after, at 3am, we met this group of musicians from Argentine. There was Andrés, the guy who was playing guitar, Luna, the dancer with the red dress... And when we arrived, they were playing and singing this song in the night, chilling next to the Place de la Bourse. Among all the songs they could have played. They chose this one. I started dancing a bit with Luna, and then we enjoyed the music and drank red wine. It was one of the most beautiful nights in my life. Keep memories awake through the music, guys.

Remember in Nairobi,Kenya way back 2000s at a club called Pavement ,Westlands used to have Salsa night and this song used to be played by a band there as we swing in our little known salsa dance and enjoyed watching the Cuban ambassador dancing to it like crazy and the current Kenyan president used to swing by to watch and enjoy ( then just a regular). Good ol memories 😊

[@GlynisDance]

My partner and I went to dancing lessons for a while. This was my absolute favourite song for dancing Salsa, and sometimes Janice (the dance teacher) put it on just for us. It is beautiful! :)

[@true_believer72]

beautiful song. One of my new favorites indeed. The rythym and lead guitar are on point. I love that Cuban groove.

[@MH-iy8op]

This song is the golden standard of music. Within 100 years time, no one will have composed anything even close to it. Compay Segundo 💓💫

[@Aih1616]

love this song but there are plenty on great songs too out there. Being ignorant is a crime.

[@MAMRetro]

It’s a terrific son, one of the best of the last 50 years, but it’s not the golden standard, not even within the son montuno genre. Listen to Trio Matamoros, Sexteto Nacional, Sexteto Boloña. Many more out there.

La plus belle chanson !!! MERCI DE LA SUISSE 🇨🇭 I love it ❤

[@gurugeorge]

There are lots of great songs where you have someone thinking about sex, sunshine, or yearning for a loved one, but this one has a basic purity, simplicity and honesty that's really primal, a moment of lustful yearning frozen in time, or an old colour photograph. There's something about the idea of a journey to re-connect with a magical moment that has an eternal vibe about it (even if one suspects the singer is only dreaming about making the journey).

[@AnnePmakeupandmore]

Beautiful song❤️The thing about music is you don't have to understand the lyrics or words to be moved by it.

[@bensmurat2297]

Legendary song even here in Tunisia , joyful and sad feelings at the same time, a night/day , summer/winter song , Chan Chan and Buena Vista are just eternal..

Thank you Grandad for marrying my black African American Grandma! Cuba is in my heart forever!

This song feels to me like when you are going on the vacation and you are driving and you see the sea for the first time in the distance. That joy. That's also how I think love should feel.

[@vladaakavk370]

👍👍❤ exactly!!

[@DubManor]

This is the song that plays when you fall in love just by looking in someone's eyes. Then @2:40, the brass comes in and you both know you feel the same. What a melody this track has, thanks to my dad for showing me it when i was young.

[@Oceanrex]

Exactly! Or you have been driving 18 hours to visit family and you finally enter Minot.

About 20 years ago, I was a young little store clerk in a Border's Outlet, and a man came in looking for a CD from the Buena Vista Social Club. I don't remember how he described it, but I can remember his facial expressions and the vibe. Whenever I saw the name, I remembered the man. Today, I am listening for the first time.

[@michaelanspach8194]

Great story!

[@juneahernauthor]

my son went to Cuba at about 20 yrs under the "Medical Supply" group, He was so well cared for by the people and lived with a family...loved the music too.

[@oceaneseba4217]

I first heard this song when I was sitting in a small hidden park on the island of the river La Seine in Paris. This small park is located between the two river branches and at the end of the island is a very old willow tree which leaves its branches trailing in the water. Under the willow tree, protected by the leaves, a man was sitting still looking to the horizon listening to this song playing outloud on his phone. I passed by and ended up sitting right behind him for the entire song, and I remember thinking that life had never seem that peaceful before.

Soy de Uruguay y cuando empezó la música de está película en el cine, me atrapó totalmente hasta ahora . Me gusta la plena, la bomba, y otra ritmos , (por último la salsa por ser más mecánica y comercial ) Esto es como la esencia o la raíz del sabor, de mucho de lo que escuche en musica tropical . Aguante el 3+2 y también, mejor más sabroso el 2+3.

I’m an old mostly white lady in the US, and grew up listening to many music genres, including salsa. When I was a kid, there was a salsa mania going on in the early 60s. Perez Prado was very popular. They played his music on the top 40 stations.
