La recepcionista
Kafu Banton
The receptionist
Excuse me, miss, for the interruption
But my introduction will be very brief
The reason for this call is to clarify
A little confusion
I read about that ad on TV
Casting, auditions and recording
But before visiting her I decided to call her
And listen to the other version
Hello!
Yes! I hear you sir, stay here for a minute
On the line please
Yes!... Ha... I don't know, all of a sudden she put me on hold
Were you calling me sir?
About casting, auditions and recording
I would like you to listen to me, if you are interested and give me your opinion
OK, what's your name?
Kafu Banton
From which country?
Panama
City?
Colon
Uh… Any particular genre?
Dancehall, hip hop and reggae in Spanish
Years of experience?
60, minus 30, minus 15, minus 10, minus 2
mmm, aaah, wait a minute... Ah, I got it
I just wish he would give me a break
And I would listen to even just a tape
What I'm doing since 9/6
And you will realize that this is real, it is not fake
I take the microphone, who I sadly do not
And on the stage no, it sounded monotonous
Reggae music is my life I know myself
And I do it from the heart for the money, no
Just a chance
I would like to be given because I have waited long enough
(When will my turn come?)
The genre is no longer what it used to be
Now you can count the singers
Have lyrics that sound interesting
And instead of falling behind, they move ahead of us
Everything is commercial, material, artificial and
They make it look special
I feel that this is the moment
To express what I carry inside
And that the world knows my talent
So that they see my style and my movement
This is real, I'm not lying to you, I'm not lying to you
