Rhythms del Mundo is a nonprofit collaborative album, which fuses an all-star cast of Cuban muscians including Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo of the the Buena Vista Social Club with tracks from US, UK and Irish artists such as U2, Coldplay, Sting, Jack Johnson and Maroon 5 , Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs and many others.
Album proceeds will benefit the environmental nonprofit organization Artists' Project Earth (APE), which raises funds for disaster relief efforts and climate change awareness. The artists on this album fully support the record as a show of commitment to the music and to the cause that it endorses.
The main recording sessions took place in Havana at Abdala Studios from April 2005 to June 2006. While the majority of the vocals remain the same, the musicans of the Buena Vista Social Club took the original orchestration from each song and created something utterly unique, casting their trademark mastery over each track.
Ai No Corrida
Vania Borges feat. Quincy Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl
That's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
But if it is, don't let me know
I'm drowning, don't save me
It's just the way I'd like to go
You see girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Before my heart saw you
Each day was just another day
Night, the lonely interlude
Just came, then blew away
You know girl
Everything was come what may
Until you fell in my life
This spell I'm under has caught me
I'm in a daze
Your lightning and thunder
Sets my poor heart ablaze
You see girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
I hold you, I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl
That's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
Pinch me, I'm dreaming
But if it is, don't let me know
I'm drowning, don't save me
It's just the way I'd like to go
You see girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
The lyrics to Vania Borges feat. Quincy Jones's song "Ai No Corrida" describes a passionate and intense longing for a lover. The singer is consumed by the desires he has for his love interest, as he can't escape the maze of his love for her. He is willing to be completely devoted to his lover, serving her as if he is being served on a tray. The singer is overwhelmed by the intensity of his passion, describing it as a spell that has caught him, thereby placing him in a daze. The singer feels as if he is drowning; however, he doesn't want to be saved as he wishes to be consumed by his lover's love, and therefore, he describes dying in her arms as being his preferred fate.
Throughout the chorus of the song, the singer uses the phrase "Ai no corrida" which is Japanese for "Love's corrida," meaning the bullfight of love. The singer imagines himself in this place, where he feels swept away by his lover's command. He describes being entirely consumed by her, with no other thoughts or emotions, just her. The lyrics of the song bring the listener on a journey of passionate and intense emotion, conveying the ecstasy and despair of love.

Te abrazo te toco y no me puedo orientar
Te suena, te siento y te vulves a escapar
Muchacho esto no es forma de vivir
Me niego me niego a segir
Despierta mi sueno no me dejes delirar
Te busco de nuevo y no te puedo encontrorar
Muchacho tu me levas, tu me matas y me haces sufrir
(chorus)
Ai no corrida
Es lo que soy, tu me haces ser mundo mi mujer
Ai No Corrido que encontre no quiero mas con tigo nada mas
Nada mas
Sin yo conocerte, me vida era tan banal
Fue anoche fue soledad
Llegaste y todos fue
Muchacho me senseñaste la verdad
Para poder respirar
El fuego divino de tu gran sensualidad
Me envuelves
Me ensiende un tormenta tropical
Muchacho tu me levas me abrazas y me haces sentir

No me canso de escucharlos. Gratos recuerdos. Muy hijo me regaló su CD y cuando él se fué a trabajar a otro estado yo lloraba cuando escuchaba está exelente recopilación.
