The ensemble consists of four clarinets, three trumpets, a tambora, a tarola, a tuba (Sousaphone style), three trombones, and three singers.
Banda el Recodo was founded by Don Cruz Lizárraga from Sinaloa, Mexico. Although he had to drop out of high school to work, Lizárraga was an excellent bandleader and musician. Self-taught on the clarinet, he was forced to sell one of his hogs to pay for his new musical instrument. Once he moved to Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Lizarraga signed a deal with RCA Victor and soon formed Banda el Recodo. Since his death in 1995, Lizarraga's son has taken over the group and undertaken extensive international tours. Today, Banda el Recodo continues to be one of the most famous and most popular Mexican folk music bands of all time
Hasta Cuando
Banda El Recodo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se siente aquí en mi alma hoy que estoy sin verte
Que suerte
Pues ciertamente no se que paso y hoy sufro
Te busco
Por todas esas calles sin parar y nada
Regreso
Que te quiero
Y eso no lo puedo ya ocultar con nada
Pero hasta cuando voy a estar sin tu amor
Hasta cuando
Hasta cuando voy a estar tanto así soportando
Antes que caiga la noche quiero oír tu voz
Quiero saber si aun te tengo o nos decimos adiós
Pero hasta cuando voy a estar sin tu amor
Hasta cuando
Hasta cuando voy a estar tanto así soportando
Antes que caiga la noche quiero oír tu voz
Quiero saber si aun te tengo o nos decimos adiós
Antes que caiga la noche quiero oír tu voz
Quiero saber si aun te tengo o nos decimos adiós
The lyrics in Banda El Recodo's song Hasta Cuando are about a person who is feeling cold and empty without the presence of their loved one. The singer searches for their partner in the streets, but to no avail. They return home, only to confess to their pillow that they still love this person and cannot hide it anymore. The chorus repeats the question of how long they will have to suffer without their love, before the night ends and they either hear their partner's voice or say goodbye forever.
The use of cold imagery in the first line, "Frio, se siente aquí en mi alma" immediately sets a melancholic atmosphere for the song. The repetition of "Hasta cuando" in the chorus drives home the question the singer is asking themselves, emphasizing the pain of being apart from someone they love. The verses are filled with descriptive language, such as "Por todas esas calles sin parar y nada" which depicts the feeling of fruitlessly searching for someone.
The message of the song is universal, as many people have felt the anguish of being separated from someone they love. The lyrics are relatable and the melody is hauntingly beautiful. The use of a traditional Mexican banda sound adds to the emotional weight of the song.
