While still very young he moved to Santo Domingo with his parents, and immediately felt attracted to the dominican music, mostly merengue.
His musical influences range from Johnny Ventura, Wilfrido Vargas, Fernando Villalona, Sergio Vargas and Juan Luis Guerra to Luis Miguel, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Julio Iglesias and Sting. Although Santacruz has cited that his biggest musical influence was his mother, who from an early age used to sing boleros to him and also used to make imaginary interviews to a young Daniel with a small tape recorder. His father, also a music lover, introduced him to classical music and to the 50's and 60's sound. The first musical notes are known from his maternal grandmother Ana Zulema Victoria who was a pianist and also a piano teacher.
Lo Dice La Gente
Daniel Santacruz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
porque ya no me consientes como ayer
dime porque ya no te pones celosa si bailo con otra
una bachata o algún tango de Gardel, no crees que lo intento
Lo dice la gente, esta tan diferente
no lo digo yo...
Lo dice la gente, esta rodando aceite
por tu piel...
Lo dice la gente que baila
la gente que siente
lo dijo Lolita y el tío Vicente
que tu, que tu ya no me quieres
Porque ya no me calientan esos ojos de sol
porque duele tu sonrisa de cartel
dime porque ya no te pones nerviosa si roso tu boca
es que ya no quedan ganas en tu piel
Lo dice la gente, esta tan diferente
no lo digo yo...
Lo dice la gente, esta rodando aceite
por tu piel...
Lo dice la gente que baila
la gente que siente
lo dijo Lolita, y el tío Vicente
que tu, que tu ya no me quieres
Lo dice la gente que baila
la gente que siente
lo digo Lolita, y el tío Vicente
que tu, que tu ya no me quieres
