We strongly recommend that you see this band live if humanly possible. Like Issac Delgado, Manolito y su Trabuco is one of those bands that you have to see live to fully appreciate how great they are -- one of the tightest and most powerful ensembles on the planet. They tour Europe regularly and keep threatening to extend their touring to the US. So far they've only played a few times in NY and Miami. Of course, they're a regular fixture of the Havana club scene.
Manolito Simonet was the musical director and pianist for Maravilla de Florida before forming the Trabuco. The group features a unique instrumentation of violin, cello, flute, two trumpets and two trombones, plus synth, piano, congas, bass and an absolute powerhouse of a drummer, Roicel Riverón. The singing is exquisite with the incomparable Sixto "El Indio" Llorente, singer/writer Ricardo Amaray, and newcomer "Mayami". The first five albums also feature the wonderful Rosendo "El Gallo" Díaz, one of the most distinctive and creative timba singers. Alexander Fernández, now in Norway, sang on the first two albums, and Carlos Calunga of Klímax fame sang brilliantly on Se rompieron los termómetros..
For those who love traditional Cuban music and are nervous that Timba is a bit too modern for their tastes, Manolito (as well as Los Que Son Son, Orquesta Revé, and Adalberto Alvarez), provide the clearcut entryway to the glories of Cuban music in the 90's and 00's. They combine the authentic flavor of Son with the raw, African fury of Timba in a way that leaves everyone deeply satisfied.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No tuve miedo de decirle que la amo
Canté con ella una canción bajo la luna
Y en mi corazón quedó su pobre corazón quemado
Traje mi maleta a un amigo fiel
Yo traje en mi equipaje el corazón de una mujer
Y si estoy loco en el presente en el futuro por ti
Me volveré loco también
Loco por tus besos
Claro que estoy loco
Loco como un loco... por ti
Loco por tus besos.
Claro que estoy loco
Loco como un loco... por ti
Traje mi maleta a un amigo fiel
Yo traje en mi equipaje el corazón de una mujer
Y en mi corazón quedó todo mi amor y mi querer
Y si estoy loco en el presente en el futuro por ti
Me volveré loco también n
Loco por tus besos
Claro que estoy loco
Loco como un loco... por ti
Loco por tus besos.
Claro que estoy loco
Loco como un loco... por ti
Loco por tus besos
Claro que estoy loco
Ay, ella me partió el corazón
Sus palabras me partieron el alma
Y ese beso pudo mas que su traición
Yo nací para quererla aunque se vaya
...te confieso mi amor que tus besos me vuelven loco
Loco loco
...loquito loco
Es que ella tiene el don
De hacer perder el control
...te confieso mi amor que tus besos me vuelven loco
Loquito loco
...loquito loco
Tan hermosa y hechisera
Mujer ... me tiene loco
...te confieso mi amor que tus besos me vuelven loco
Hay loco
...loquito loco
Si es verdad que tu me quieres
Si es verdad que tu me adoras
Demuestra-lo ahora
Con el mambo
Y disciplina disciplina
Comportate
Bueno... bien
Ahora decide
Quien? O el o yo?
El loco soy yo
...por eso estoy loco loco
Loquito
...por eso estoy crazy crazy
Crazy
...el loco soy yo
Hay, mamá

Y te digo ahora
Cuando escuché la noticia
Que ya tu no me querías
Hasta el gato de mi casa
Hay, me miraba y se reía
Todo el día
...por eso estoy loco loco
Loco

Crazy

Quien es el loco?

Si tu besos mataran
Ahora estaría en el cielo
Hay que miedo
...el loco soy yo
