Their former leadsinger Javier Revilla-Diez is nowadays a professor of geography at Leibniz University of Hannover and so the group is actually starting to gain new fame among local students.
Cetu Javu released two albums, "Southern Lands" (1990) and "Where Is Where" (1992).

Cetu Javu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Porque me pones asi?
Ahora no quiero nada deber
Siempre pienso en ti
Nunca lo comprendi bien
Asi lo senti
Desde cuando te vi
Si no se que voy a hacer
Siempre pienso en ti
Nunca lo compendi
Asi lo senti,
Desde cuando te vi
No me pases la cuenta o no
Mira, dejame libre ya
Siempre pienso en ti
Nunca lo compendi
Asi lo senti,
Desde cuando te vi
The lyrics to Cetu Javu's song "Oye" convey the confusion and frustration that come with being deeply attached to someone. The singer questions the effects that the beloved's influence is having on them, as they cannot seem to shake thoughts of the person even when they try to focus on other things. The chorus ("Siempre pienso en ti / Nunca lo comprendí bien / Así lo sentí / Desde cuando te vi" - "I always think of you / I never understood it well / That's how I felt / Since I saw you") expresses the idea that the attraction is powerful and incomprehensible, even to the one experiencing it. The bridge ("No me pases la cuenta o no / Mira, dejame libre ya" - "Don't hold me accountable or not / Look, set me free already") suggests that the situation may be unhealthy or unsustainable, and that the singer is aware of this but is struggling to break free.
Overall, "Oye" captures the intensity and confusion of being in love or infatuated with someone, even when that feeling may not be rational or healthy. The tone of the lyrics is somewhat melancholy, as the singer grapples with their own emotions and tries to make sense of the situation. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the power of the attachment, and the bridge provides a moment of clarity where the singer acknowledges that it may be time to move on.
