The region is famous for merengue périco ripao, the traditional Dominican music, and his family, all big music lovers, filled his childhood home with the music spurring Zacarías on to dream of becoming a musical artist himself.

The desire to improve himself motivated him to leave for the country’s capital, Santo Domingo, where he joined the Conservatorio Nacional and also sang in a local bachata group.

Ferreira then became a member of the Brugal rum company orchestra, where he remained for five years. His debut album, Me Liberé, was released in 1997 and won the prestigious Dominican music award, the Cassandra. Three years later his second album, El Triste, won the award for him for a second time.
In the winter of 2001, Ferreira traveled to the United States for the first time and played 77 gigs in just six-and-a-half weeks in New York.

August 17, 2010 Zacaria Ferreiras inaugurated Escuela primaria de Amaceyes Arriba, that he Built.

Loco
Zacarias Ferreira Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dicen por allí que ya no me quiere
Que me has olvidado y no me conviene
Seguir en la vida tan llena de duda
Porque tu mujer tiene el alma dura
Pero todo lo que sube
Algún día cae
Y cuando el río suena es porque agua trae

Paso los días pensando
La noche también la paso
Que si yo pierdo tu amor
Loco me voy a volver (bis)

La gente me dice que no viva así
Que pasará la vida
Y no seré feliz
Que yo en ti mujer
Todo lo derrocho
Y van a llevarme
Pronto pa'l Veintiocho (kilómetro 28 en una avenida principal que conecta autopista Duarte lugar para enfermos mentales)

Loco loco loco loco (bis)

La gente me dice pero yo no he visto nada
Sin tener pruebas no puedo dejarla
La quisiera ver para convencerme
Pa'que este problema
A mi no me enferme
Soy un hombre claro
Duro y sin complejo
Y si esto es verdad
Juro que la dejo

Paso los días pensando
La noche también la paso
Que si yo pierdo tu amor
Loco me voy a volver (bis)

La gente me dice que no viva así
Que pasará la vida
Y no seré feliz
Que yo en ti mujer
Todo lo derrocho
Y van a llevarme

Pronto pa'l veintiocho
Loco loco loco loco (bis)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zacarias Ferreira's song Loco describe the feelings of a man who is going through a difficult time because of a woman who he loves, but who may not love him back. The song starts with the singer hearing rumors that the woman he loves has forgotten him and no longer wants him in her life. He is confused and unsure about his future as he feels like his woman has a tough and impenetrable soul. The singer then acknowledges the saying that everything that goes up must come down, and wonders if this is the case with his relationship with this particular woman.

In the chorus, the singer expresses feelings of desperation and anxiety. He spends his days and nights thinking about this woman, wondering how he will cope without her love. He fears that without her, he will go insane, hence the repetition of "I will go crazy" in the chorus. The second verse describes how the singer acknowledges the advice given to him by others to move on from this relationship since she may not feel the same way about him. However, he is still holding on despite hearing nothing from the woman herself, and the people around him are worried that he's not making any progress. There is mention of "kilómetro 28," which is a place that is known as a mental institution, hinting at the possibility of the singer losing his mind if he doesn't get over this woman.

Overall, the lyrics of Loco describe the singer's struggles to come to terms with the possibility of losing the woman he loves. He clearly acknowledges the advice given to him by others, but he is unable to let her go even though his love seems unreturned.
