Krency Garcia, better known as El Prodigio, is a famous merengue tipico accordionist from the Dominican Republic. He is known throughout the genre for his rapid instrumental solos, his origination of fusion in merengue tipico with genres like jazz[1], and his rivalry with fellow accordionists, Geovanny Polanco and Kerube (head of the tipico band Kerubanda). While the latter two are slightly more traditional, El Prodigio is more experimental, and has included instruments such as trombone, trumpet, and wurlitzer piano in his lineup, along with the standard accordion, tambora, guira, conga, electric bass, and saxophones of today's merengue tipico.
Biography
As a child he played as long has he could remember, first appearing in public at age 5, then playing on various children's TV shows that aired in the Dominican Republic. He later studied jazz in the United States, which he would use in his improvisation techniques and albums. In addition to fusion, he is also known for his interpretation of traditional merengue tipico and salsa standards, such as "Juanita Morel", "El Estrujao", "Cualquiera Llora (Tatico Llorando)" and "La Vida es un Carnaval". His American music interpretations include "Mountain Dance" (originally performed by Dave Gruisin) and "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tudo que um gajo lança é bomba, terrorista
Meu dúplex É muito alto; já vos perdi de vista
Digo a miúda pinta o meu cabelo:
Tipo um Kudurista
Tipo um Kudurista
Tipo um Kudurista
Chego no Boda, falar mais alto que toda gente: Tipo um Kudurista
Tipo um Kudurista
No meio da discoteca à xingar; I don't give a fuck: Tipo um Kudurista
Tipo um Kudurista
Tipo um Kudurista
Bazo no Boda, quero arrastar todas damas comigo: Tipo um Kudurista
É o filho do loiro nas pontas
Nunca menos de 10 mil na conta
Tentou engolir, mas acabou tonta
(Tá numa, a intenção é que conta)
Ela ouviu dizer que; um gajo apronta
Mas quando dei toque; xta pronta
Então tudo que amiga conta, Não conta
Guarda a carteira, eu pago a conta
Young rich nigga, finish it
Mal começo, I just finish it!
Eu devia xtar no BM X
2015, my business year.
Concorrência muito fraca; tou a ficar relaxado
Tanta seda na minha pele; eu tou a ficar delicado
Meu nome tá big; tou delatado
Niggas com raiva; tou vacinado
Bitches me cuidam; eu tou mimado
Miúdas molhadas; tou constipado
Os rappers andam todos chatiados
minha kota disse; tem cuidado
Uso almofadas na puta do trono, tou confortável; quando tou sentado.
Nigga diz que me ajudou! como? Dread é Hack!
Carreguei a minha própria cruz; Chevrolet.
Apostei no game; Doctor Bola
Força Suprema são todos d'outro mundo, somos todos Androids; Motorolla
Jantes no Race tão big que o mambo já não curva; só rebolla
Quantos real niggas aparecem, fakes niggas dão gás! Coca Cola
Yeah, mas tua banda
Pergunta quêm manda
Saio d'um Porshe, com o meu cabelo todo pintado; Rei Panda.
Notas verdade no meu bolso, admito sou racista
Tudo que um gajo lança é bomba, terrorista
Meu dúplex É muito alto, já vos perdi de vista
Digo a miúda pinta o meu cabelo:

The lyrics to "Ta' Buena" by El Prodigio are a mix of Portuguese and slang from Angola that can be difficult to understand for non-native speakers. However, the repetition of the phrase "Tipo um Kudurista" gives a hint to the interpretation of the song's meaning. "Kuduro" is a music genre originated in Angola, characterized by a fast and upbeat rhythm that encourages dance and movement. "Kuduristas" are the performers of this genre who are known for their eccentric fashion and hairstyles.
In the first verse, the singer claims to have a lot of money and to be racist, which is a controversial statement. He also boasts of being a terrorist and having a high-rise duplex that makes him look down on everyone. The reference to painting his hair like a Kudurista may be a sign of admiration or imitation of the Angolan culture, although it is not clear whether the singer is Angolan or not.
The second verse continues with the theme of wealth, success, and arrogance, with mentions of a luxury car, a big bank account, and a comfortable throne. The use of slang and colloquial expressions adds to the informal and playful tone of the song, which is meant to be danced and enjoyed in parties, clubs, and festivals.
Overall, "Ta' Buena" celebrates the lifestyle of the rich and famous, with a nod to the African roots and influences that have spread worldwide through music and culture. The phrase "Tipo um Kudurista" can be interpreted as a way of expressing oneself freely, with confidence and joy, without caring about what others may think or say.
