The daughter of a Mexican-born father and South African Jewish mother, Martinez says music was always part of family gatherings. Travelling to Mexico gave her a feel for the jazz, Latino and AfroCuban music scene in which she's been performing professionally since 2001. "I grew up listening to a lot of my dad's musical collection, which had a huge influence on me," she says. "Music is in my blood".
Currently, Martinez hosts a Latin music program on the CBC radio network and performs regularly.
Let's Dance
Amanda Martinez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Believe our dreams deserve a second chance
Let’s play
Release our worries and they’ll float away
We’ll shine
Jump in, begin
Don’t look behind
Don’t wait
And celebrate
Let’s plan
To see things through this time we’ll take a stand
Let’s fly
Beyond our troubles new shores are waiting by
We’ll shine
Jump in begin
Don’t look behind
Don’t wait
Take time today and celebrate
Until another moment
This one’s ours to claim
Until another sunset, let’s enjoy the day
Until another lifetime this one’s ours to say
Let’s dance
Let’s dance
Believe our dreams deserve a second chance
Let’s play
Release our worries and they’ll float away
We’ll shine
Jump in begin, don’t look behind
Don’t wait
Take time today to celebrate
Until another moment
This one’s ours to claim
Until another sunset, let’s enjoy the day
Until another lifetime this one’s ours to say
Until another moment
This one’s ours to claim
Until another sun sets, let’s enjoy the day
Vamos a bailar (let’s dance)
