Rubén Blades brought the lyrical sophistication of South American "nueva canción" and Cuban "nueva trova" to salsa, telling acidly-rendered stories of devastated lives, but with an everpresent message of hope. After 1980, Blades wanted out of his contract with the exploitative Fania label, but was contractually obligated to record several more albums; these were generally toss- offs and Blades himself tells his fans to avoid them. After signing with Electra, Blades assembled a top-notch band (known variously as Seis Del Solar or Son Del Solar). Then he fell in with a set of West Coast liberals (Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt), started making movies, ran for president of his native Panama (although he hadn't lived there for two decades) and in between still manages to make some excellent music.

tu me llamaras en las horas secretas de tu sensualidad
Te arrepentirás de lo cruel que tu fuiste con mi amor
te lamentaras pero sera muy tarde para volver
Te perseguirán los recuerdos vividos de ayer
te atormentará tu conciencia infeliz
Me recordaras donde quiera que escuches mi canción
porque al fin fui yo el que te enseño todo lo que sabes de amor
Dilo Yomo
Te perseguirán los recuerdos vividos de ayer
te atormentará tu conciencia infeliz
Me recordaras donde quiera que escuches mi canción
porque al fin fui yo el que te enseño todo lo que sabes de amor
