Bueno studied music in Cuba and became a music teacher before forming his jazz combo band Estado de Animo in 1990, which also included guitarist Elmer Ferrer and trumpeter Roberto Carcasés. His band encountered some success during the 90’s touring in Spain, Bolivia, Uruguay, Germany, and Argentina. Descemer also performed in the United States in 1998 with the jazz ensemble Colomn B.
During this period, Bueno was artist-in-residence at Stanford University in California, and spent a year teaching at the University of South Africa in Capetown. In 1999, after moving to New York, Bueno became active in his hip-hop band Yerba Buen] writing or co-writing most of the songs for their debut album President Alien. Yerba Buena songs can be heard in several American movies and Pepsi commercials.
However, Bueno’s involvement in Yerba Buena did not last long. Descemer Bueno soon moved back to Cuba and began producing, arranging, and composing music for many young Cuban musicians including Haydée for Haydée Milanés, La Isla Milagrosa for William Vivanco, and Breathe for Yusa. He also composed the music for the film Havana Blues, winning him the 2006 Goya award for Best Original Music.
Descemer is also known for his writing skills, being a named “bolerista” to be reckoned with after having written a set of boleros for Fernando Alvarez just before the singer’s death in 2002.
In 2005 Bueno recorded his first solo album Siete Rayo, a hip-hop fusion album, after signing with Universal Latin. His album featured George Pajon of the Blacked Eyed Peas.

Descemer Bueno y Leonardo
Letra em portugues: Cesar Lemos
COMO UM BEIJA FLOR
QUE ENTROU NA MINHA CASA
CHEGOU COMO QUEM NÃO QUER NADA
Se queda tranquila, retoza, tirita y me habla
Preciosa tus ojos parecen hechos de cielo
QUERIDA QUEM TE TROUXE AQUI ? FOI A TAL DA SAUDADE
PERFUME QUE DA BRISA, FEZ A TEMPESTADE
E ASSIM, SEM RESPIRAR PASSAM AS HORAS
A PROXIMA VEZ QUE EU TE ENCONTRE,
SERA NOS MEUS BRAÇOS
De nube es el blanco que arropan tus pupilas
SEM PERDER O ENCANTO
QUANDO CHOVE O SEU PRANTO
SE FAZ MEIA NOITE O MEU DIA
E AS NUVENS DE BRANCO
ABRAÇAM SUAS PUPILAS
Son grises y llueven y cuando amanece
parecen de cielo tus ojos mi vida
EU SEI QUE UMA MARCA PROFUNDA DE AMOR,
NÃO SE APAGA
Que vive por siempre y se esconde entre lo inexplicable
TALVEZ FOI DEUS QUEM CONSENTIU TÃO PERFEITO DESEJO
TALVEZ PREFERIU TE LEVAR AO INVÉS DE OUTRO BEIJO
y tarde o temprano realizaras ese sueño
vendrás a mi vida con tantos te quiero
E ASSIM, SEM RESPIRAR PASSAM AS HORAS
A PROXIMA VEZ QUE EU TE ENCONTRE,
SERA NOS MEUS BRAÇOS
E AS NUVENS DE BRANCO
ABRAÇAM SUAS PUPILAS
SEM PERDER O ENCANTO
QUANDO CHOVE O SEU PRANTO
SE FAZ MEIA NOITE O MEU DIA
De nube es el blanco
E AS NUVENS DE BRANCO
que arropan tus pupilas
ABRAÇAM SUAS PUPILAS
Son grises y llueven y cuando amanece
parecen de cielo tus ojos mi vida
E AS NUVENS DE BRANCO
ABRAÇAM SUAS PUPILAS
SEM PERDER O ENCANTO
QUANDO CHOVE O SEU PRANTO
SE FAZ MEIA NOITE O MEU DIA
The lyrics to Descemer Bueno's song "Preciosa" tell the story of a love that unexpectedly enters the singer's life. It starts by comparing this person to a hummingbird that entered their house and landed on their bed. There is a sense of surprise and innocence in the way this love has arrived. The singer describes how this person is calm, playful, and speaks to them, while emphasizing the beauty of their eyes, comparing them to the sky.
The second verse shifts to questioning the arrival of this person and attributes it to "saudade," which is a Portuguese word for a deep emotional longing for someone or something that is gone. The singer sees this longing as a perfume that brings a storm and then goes on to say that the hours pass without breathing until the next time they meet, which will be in their arms. The chorus repeats the image of the person's eyes being like clouds and how their tears resemble rain, but even when it's dark and they cry, it feels like day because of them.
The third verse explores the idea that a deep mark of love never fades, it lives forever and hides in the unexplainable. The singer suggests that maybe it was God who consented to this perfect desire, and perhaps, God chose to take this person away instead of another kiss. The lyrics express hope that eventually, the dream will come true, and this person will come into their life with so much love.
Overall, "Preciosa" is a song that captures the unexpectedness and intensity of love, its ability to bring both storms and sunshine, and the belief in the lasting power of love.

vendrás a mi vida con tantos te quiero
