This beat is so easy to dance to...' Puntillita certainly knows how to make this lively Son Montuno a great bop.
The late Puntillita was a member of "Buena vista social club" and this is an early recording of him late 1950's classical recording and a gem in the history of Cuban Music.
It is the most delicious beat of the conga, no matter how you feel your brain takes water. When you want to conquer, dance the beat of the bibijagua, you will ask for water by sign from your partner while dancing. If you get caught in a downpour you will use a cape and umbrella, but the beat of the bibijagua puts your body under zero. When the coconut loses its water it is called a dry coconut, what never loses its echo is the beat of the bibijagua. The beat of the bibijagua is very easy to dance. Oh! it is danced forward, it is danced backward. Oh! the beat of the bibijagua is very easy to dance.
Es el golpe de bibijagua
más sabroso que la conga,
póngase como se ponga
su cerebro coge agua.
Cuando quiera conquistar
baile el golpe de bibijagua,
pedirá por seña el agua
su compañera al bailar.
Si te coge un aguacero
usarás capa y paraguas,
pero el golpe de bibijagua
pone el cuerpo bajo cero.
Cuando el coco pierde el agua
se le llama coco seco,
lo que nunca pierde el eco
es el golpe de bibijagua.
El golpe de bibijagua
es muy fácil de bailar.
¡Ay! se baila para adelante,
se baila para atrás.
¡Ay! el golpe de bibijagua
es muy fácil de bailar.
