María Elena
Joan Soriano Lyrics
Maria Elena
Ando buscando a Maria Elena,
Ando buscando mamá, a Maria Elena
Porque esa prieta si es cosa buena,
porque esa prieta si es cosa buena
Toda las mujeres dique son buenas,
toda las mujeres dique son buenas
Pero ninguna como mi Elena,
pero ninguna como mi Elena
Con mi morena yo voy arroyar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Ay en Puerto Rico voy a bailar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Con mi morena voy a gozar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Con mi morena voy arroyar
(Con mi morena voy a gozar)
Ay en Nueva York voy a vacilar
(Con mi morena voy a gozar)
Yo me voy con ella pa'lla mata
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
En mi Quisqueya voy arroyar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Ando buscando mama a Maria Elena,
Ando buscando, a Maria Elena
Porque esa prieta si es cosa buena,
porque esa prieta si es cosa buena
Toda las mujeres dique son buenas,
toda las mujeres dique son buenas
Pero ninguna como mi Elena
Con mi morena yo voy bailar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
En Puerto Rico voy a gozar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Yo me voy con ella pa'lla mata)
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Alla en la Luisa voy a gozar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Y en España voy a bailar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Alla en Francia voy a Arroyar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Y en el este voy a bailar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Con mi morena quiero gozar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Con mi morena voy a bailar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Yo quiero beber quiero vacilar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Con mi morena quiero arroyar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
La prieta Elena se da unos humos,
la prieta Elena se da unos humos
Que de los hijos no conoce a ninguno,
que de los hijos no conoce a ninguno
Toda las mujeres dique son buena,
Toda las mujeres dique son buena
Pero ninguna como mi Elena
Con mi morena voy a bailar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Con mi morena quiero gozar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
En Puerto Rico Y en Panamá
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Y con mi Elena voy arroyar
(Con mi morena quiero gozar)
Aya!

Born in the rural countryside near Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, Joan Soriano fashioned his first guitar from a tin can and fishing line and has never looked back. Soriano plays steel string bachata with equal parts romance and grit. The Afro-infused rhythm that permeates his music has made him a favorite among dancers.
As a boy Joan received little formal education. The seventh of 15 children, Joan left school to help his father farm the family's land.

As a boy Joan received little formal education. The seventh of 15 children, Joan left school to help his father farm the family's land. But Joan’s destiny was for something else. Forming a band with his young brothers and sisters, he began to perform at neighborhood events. Nicknamed “Los Candes” (after their father Candelario) the band became a local sensation. At age 13 Joan hitched a ride to Santo Domingo and went on to nurture his talent working with some of the island’s greatest bachata stars.
Bachata is essential to Dominican culture and draws upon a variety of influences from Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean. A practitioner of palo and gaga, Joan blends Afro-Dominican sacred traditions with bachata, imparting his music with down to earth spirit and dance-ability. Joan preserves bachata’s roots and expands on them. He is a rare combination of new and authentic.
Joan is the star of Adam Taub’s documentary, The Duke of Bachata. He also was featured in Alex Wolfe’s documentary, Santo Domingo Blues, and is on The Rough Guide’s Bachata compilation. Joan has performed throughout North America and Europe. In September 2010 he celebrated his first international release.
Joan's new album, El Duque de la Bachata, was recorded live in a Santo Domingo studio by iASO producer, Benjamin de Menil.
