The lyrics to Ska Cubano's La Boquilla is a joyful invitation to dance with a "negra" (a black woman) who knows how to move and satisfy the singer's desire. The song celebrates the beauty and sensuality of Afro-Caribbean music and culture, as well as the joy of sharing it with others. The singer expresses his delight in the clarinet's sound -- an instrument strongly associated with traditional Cuban music -- and how it complements the rhythm of the dance. He admires the black woman's movements and feels happy and content dancing with her until dawn.
Musically, La Boquilla is an example of Ska Cubano's fusion of ska, reggae, and Latin rhythms, blending contemporary beats with the classic sounds of Cuban music. The song features a catchy melody, dynamic horn lines, and a lively groove that invites listeners to get up and dance. The lyrics are in Spanish, but the song's universal appeal comes from the infectious energy and vibe it exudes.
