One of Colombia's most talented salsa singers that emerge from the salsa circles of Cali. Yuri currently resides in France.
With “Vagabundo”, Colombian singer Yuri Buenaventura reveals himself as the “brightest new star from South America”. From the irresistibly swingy ‘Guajiro del Monte’, with its expansive and golden big-band dance sound to the pared-back and poignant ‘Donde Estas?’ – it’s always clear that we’re in completely assured hands. Interspersed are three unforgettably sensual songs written with Jorge Zulueta which brilliantly underpin a Latin theme with an erotic tango sound. And besides the innovative music, Buenaventura’s words mark him out: like Ruben Blades, he’s one of the few salsa singers to marry a cutting edge sound with thoughtful lyrics. With a wonderfully attractive voice which at times recalls the legendary Hector Lavoe, Buenaventura duets with the great Cheo Feliciano on ‘Palo y Cuero’ (Stick and Skin). Buenaventura means a ‘good venture’ – he’s certainly embarked on one of those here

Yuri Buenaventura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
en las aceras.
Cruledad, son hambrunas
y muertes por las gerras.
El terror de un hombre preso,
por lo que piensa.
son escuelas y hospitales,
que se cierran.
Es no poder ver el sol
tras una nube de polucion
son los incendios de un planeta
que mato sus primaveras.
Son las bombas
que destruyen nuestros pueblos
terrorirsmo hermanito
es el odio que nos lleva
el que nos dividió en paises,
y en fronteras.
[Vuelve a unirte
raza humana

@mrarmandomusical : Gracias. Como era la primera vez tuve algunas dificultades iniciales, pero creo que los proximos los haré mas rápido. Tengo pensado hacer uno del sexteto juventud con el tema "El negro" . será con un enfoque mas intimista. Tengo que recopilar las foto de mi abuela para escanearla. A pesar que en esa época no era común hacer videos de salsa, las letras son los suficientemente inspiradoras para crear estos collages hasta que aprenda a usar los programas de animación
