Soon, at Paris clubs, such as the New Morning, Hot Brass, Bataclan, and Elysée Montmartre, he was sharing the spotlight with other Afro-Cuban musician passing through the city. As member of the Latino and African musical community based in France, Raul became one of the leaders of the ‘Cuban wave’.
When Ralph Mercado heard Raul Paz’s voice in 1998, amongst the well-established salsa stars, he immediately decided to promote this ‘French Cubano’. That same year, Raul Paz recorded his first album ‘Imaginate’. This album was a hit in the US and Raul Paz was awarded the Best New Male Singer Award by the New York music press.
In 2001, Ralph Mercado Music shut down. Open to new sounds and techniques, and interested in the fusion of genres, Paz moved towards electro music.
Raul met producer Mousse T. and, working with his team at the Hanover Pepermint studios, mixed his next album, which had been previously recorded in Cuba. The DJ’s groove added a lot to the richness and quality of the melodies. ‘Mulata’, his last album released in 2003, consists of a mix of Cuban instruments and samples from Hanover.
El Beso
Raul Paz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y por la osadia cayo un beso al mar
con un beso tuyo me dormi cansado
dormias a mi lado tu, de tanto besar
de toda mi alma salieron estrellas
que volaron alto para no llegar
por un beso tuyo me quede en silencio
como me preguntas si quiero besar
no me lo pregunto... contigo me voy
que se me afloja el alma... contigo me voy
por un beso tuyo me quede en silencio
cuando sin remedio te senti besar
por un beso tuyo el amor a duelo
fue perdiendo el miedo, se dejo llevar
y se enreda el tiempo mojando los suenos
y tu boca loca me quiso enganar
por un beso tuyo ya no tengo dueno
hacercate un poco, vuelveme a besar
por un beso tuyo... contigo me voy
no juegues conmigo... contigo me voy
quedate esta noche... conmigo, conmigo

In addition, the line "por un beso tuyo me quede en silencio" indicates that the kiss was so meaningful that it left the singer speechless.

Con un beso tuyo, vi llegar el dia
I saw the day begin with your kiss
Y por la osadia cayo un beso al mar
And a bold kiss fell into the sea
Con un beso tuyo me dormi cansado
Tired, I fell asleep with your kiss
Dormias a mi lado tu, de tanto besar
You were asleep next to me, after so many kisses
De toda mi alma salieron estrellas
Stars came out from my whole soul
Que volaron alto para no llegar
But they flew too high to reach anywhere
Por un beso tuyo me quede en silencio
Your kiss left me speechless
Como me preguntas si quiero besar
Do you even have to ask if I want to kiss you?
Con un beso tuyo... contigo me voy
With your kiss, I go with you
No me lo pregunto... contigo me voy
I don't even question it, I just go with you
Que se me afloja el alma... contigo me voy
My soul loosens up when I go with you
Cuando sin remedio te senti besar
When I felt you kiss me without remedy
Por un beso tuyo el amor a duelo
Love was in battle with your kiss
Fue perdiendo el miedo, se dejo llevar
It slowly lost its fear and surrendered
Y se enreda el tiempo mojando los suenos
And time tangles itself, soaking our dreams
Y tu boca loca me quiso enganar
Your crazy mouth wanted to deceive me
Por un beso tuyo ya no tengo dueno
Your kiss has left me sleepless
Hacercate un poco, vuelveme a besar
Come closer, kiss me again
No juegues conmigo... contigo me voy
Don't play with me, I'll still go with you
Quedate esta noche... conmigo, conmigo
Stay with me tonight...with me, with me
