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

Temes
Yuri Buenaventura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En cualquier esquina
Que tu fuiste mia
En una aventura
Donde no hubo amor ...
Temes que se entere el mundo
De que en tu pasado
Y aunque tu lo niegues
Que miedo te doi...
(1)
Brindo con silencio mi homenaje triste
Al tallar de besos que tras hoy no existen
(2)
Nunca dire nada prosigue tranquila con tu nuevo amor
(3)
Sientes un miedo terrible, mas lei en tu cara
Que lo mas que te ame,
Tu vida vacia es que diga un dia ... que yo te olvidé.
Bis para 1, 2 y 3. y termina la cancion
The song Temes by Yuri Buenaventura is a sad and melancholic love song that tells the story of a past relationship that ended without love. In the first stanza, the singer talks about his fear of revealing to others that he had been with his lover in a loveless adventure. He wonders if one day he will have to admit this fact to someone on the street corner. The second stanza reveals the fear of the lover, who is afraid that the singer will divulge the depth of their past relationship to the whole world, although the singer promises to never reveal anything. The third stanza gives some insight into the lover's life and confusion, and the singer realizes that the lover is more afraid of forgetting him than admitting to their past love.
The lyrics are poignant and emotional, expressing the pain and fear felt by the singer and the lover. The singer's words show a deep understanding and empathy towards the lover, despite the fact that they are no longer together. The overall theme of the song seems to be emotional restraint and the fear of revealing oneself to others.
