The band was formed in Lima by several members of the very well known (locally) clown troupé called "Pataclaun" including Jorge "Pelo Madueño" , Gonzalo Torres and Johanna San Miguel.
Their first public performance was on October 31st, 1991 in "Centro Cultural Parra del Riego" (Barranco, Lima) along with established local musician Miki Gonzales.
In 1994 the band released their first album "Al derecho y al revés" including "Aldina" which had brief rotation on MTV Latino. Two years later "Por tierra" ("By land") under the label "Discos Independientes", including the original version of their first - though minor - hit "La Peor de las Guerras" ("The worst of all wars"). Local success ensued and the band was signed by SONY MUSIC in 1998. With SONY they released "Mundo Cachina" which had wide rotation in Peruvian media helped by the video clips for "Mala Sangre" and "No es amor"
In 1999 the band was invited to Sony International's A&R Convention where bands like La Oreja de Van Gogh and Creed (band), also played.
After heavy touring the band went into hiatus in 2000, however in 2007 founding member "Pelo" Madueño announced the band would be playing together again.
Semilla Negra
La Liga del Sueño Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fruta q has de comer mañana
Guarda la semilla porque estoy en el
Y hazme crecer
En una tierra lejana
Si me llevas contigo
Prometo ser ligero como la brisa
Y decirte al oído
Esos ojos detrás del cristal
Son dos negros cautivos cruzando el mar
Por la noche estaré solo en la selva
Que voy hacer
Esperando a q vuelvas
Si me llevas contigo
Prometo ser ligero como la brisa
Y decirte al oído
Secretos que harán brotar tu risa eh!
Yo tengo un pensamiento vagabundo
Voy a seguir tus pasos por el mundo
A que tu ya no estas aquí
Te seguiré
Por la materia que me une a ti(x4)
Semilla negra(x4)
En un barquito de ensueño
Alcanzaremos la orilla(x2)
Plantaremos la semilla
En una tierra sin dueño
Llevaré, llevaré, llevaré, llevaré, pa' allá... (x4)
Ya me voy, ya me voy, ya me voy, me voy .
Semilla negra(x4)
The song "Semilla Negra" by La Liga del Sueño is a poetic love letter that is both tender and introspective. The lyrics explore themes of longing, distance, and the desire for connection. The singer is addressing a lover, expressing a deep longing for their presence, and offering up a "kiss to the air" as a token of their devotion. The singer encourages their lover to take a seed and carry it with them, promising to grow and blossom in a far-off land. The sense of longing is palpable, as the singer waits for their lover to return, observing the world outside their window, wondering what they will do while they wait. The song is an evocative expression of the complex emotions that can surround romantic relationships, full of hope, yearning, and a sense of magic.
The lyrics of "Semilla Negra" are haunting and powerful, weaving together images of nature, travel, and love. The song's title, which means "black seed" in Spanish, becomes a recurring motif throughout the song, symbolizing the potential for growth and transformation. The idea of carrying a seed and nurturing it in a distant land speaks to the power of hope and resilience, even in the face of distance and uncertainty. The singer's promise to be "light as the breeze" and to share secrets that will make their lover laugh reinforces the sense of intimacy and trust at the heart of their relationship. The final lines of the song - "I will take it, take it, take it, take it, over there...I'm already going, going, going, going..." - capture the sense of movement and possibility that infuses the entire song.

Esta versión es bastante buena. Tiene otro aire al original de Radio Futura que es una pasada. A mi me me gusta, así como la versión de Marlango. No dejan de ser dos maneras distintas de ver la canción a la original. Y hay que darles su valor y no descalificarlas.
