An important part of Bamboleo's appeal are their two hot vocalists. With strikingly beautiful shaved heads,Vannia Borges with her sultry smooth singing style, and Haila Mompie, who is often compared to a youthful Celia Cruz, have become two female stars in the male dominated world of salsa.
Accompanying the release of Yo No Me Parezco A Nadie, is the CD single, which contains all the hot remixes (not available on the album) currently being played in niteclubs throughout the world.
Remarkably this jazz-influenced salsa group was formed only two years ago by bandleader Lazaro Valdes, and on this album, the collaboration of Leonel Limonta -considered one of the more prolific composers of the island-, every single song on this album possesses a contagious hook, while featuring guest performances by NG La Banda's arranger, Jose Miguel El Greco, on trombone, and Mario Hernandez (Irakere's lead trumpet). Definitely the most talked about group in Cuba, Bamboleo's Yo No Me Parezco A Nadie has created quite a buzz. So turn your speakers up ... put your dance shoes on ... and "salsa y tembleque" to the hottest dance record of the year.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y no encuentro la primera palabra para empezar
recuerdas aquella noche que con una amiga saldria
todo fue mentira porque con otro hombre me encontraria
mujer mia algo debo confesarte te traicione en mas de
una ocasion no tube el control otra me cautivo
no me arrepiento no me averguenzo de lo que paso
(coro)
por una inquietud que no supe contener
porfavor perdoname
te fui infiel tarde o temprano tu lo ibas a saber
por eso preferi reconoser que bese otros labios pero
te juro que no vuelve a suceder
este secreto mal guardado que escondia
quize enterrarlo pero me percate que no podia por las noches
me desvelaba de la consiencia era esclava no tenia
para ti respuesta si algo me preguntabas
yo nada podria preguntarte mi falta
habia sido muy grande me senti un incapas me senti
un tonto un cobrade no reunia el valor que merecia para despues
contarte que.
Te Fui infiel en mi confiaste y mira como te page
por una inquietud que no supe contener
porfavor perdoname
te fui infiel tarde o temprano tu lo ibas a saber
por eso preferi reconoser que bese otros labios pero
te juro que no vuelve a suceder
pero te juro y te aseguro que no vuelve a suceder
te fui infiel y te aseguro que no vuelve a suceder
ohnoo oh noo
(amor mio solo quise confesarme ohh no)
The lyrics of Bamboleo's song "Te Fui Infiel" reflect the confession of a man who betrayed his partner. He starts by admitting he has something to tell her but struggles to find the words to start. He reminds her of a night he said he was going out with a girlfriend but lied, meeting another man instead. He confesses to having cheated on her more than once, unable to control himself when another woman caught his attention. He does not regret what he did, but he asks for forgiveness for his infidelity, acknowledging that he betrayed her trust, and he hopes she can forgive him. He recognizes that eventually, his secret would have been discovered, and confessing was the best course of action. He promises that he will not repeat his mistake.
The singer explains how he initially attempted to hide his betrayal, but the guilt consumed him. He could not sleep at night, and his conscience tormented him. He felt inadequate, foolish, and cowardly. When his partner would ask questions, he could not answer, and he knew he was not worthy of her trust. He now has the courage to confession and seek forgiveness.
The song portrays the challenges of maintaining a healthy relationship and the consequences of infidelity. Although the subject matter may be uncomfortable, the honesty and vulnerability of the singer generate empathy, and the music adds suspense and emotion to the story.

Quincy
on Caramelo Con Picante
Yaya, please bring your husband to have some candy with spice
He wants to eat
Candy with spice
My friend Yaya
She came from the field
Her husband out of sight
Out of touch
She came to the candy house
That's me
She liked how I cooked
She liked how I walked
And her husband out of sight fell in love
Ahhh!!!
He fell in love
Yaya, don't blame me
Because your husband mmmmhh!!
Is flirting with me
Let's see, daddy
If this skinny girl suits you
Difficult!!!
Pick up your stuff, girl
I do not want trouble
I do not want trouble
And the problem is solved
Look, girl, how easy
Hey, you're provoking me
He's playing with fire
I am not up for that
I do not want trouble for free
Oh, what a pity
With Yaya
Tell me what you want
I will give it to you, daddy
If you provoke me
I hold back my mind
And it's because I am a good girl
I am elegant
And that does not work with me
Oh, tell me if they haven't told you
The spicy chili got you
I released you onto the floor
With your arms tied
The spicy chili got to you
Look, with my tongue on fire
And my brain exploded
That little black man is dying
My little spice did not ignite
Let's see, daddy
((Candy with spice))
