Dance tracks

One day, suddenly I found myself making house music. Here are some of my favorite tracks

	1	Calma A collaboration with Julian Bendall, from Bah Samba, included in the band’s last album. Also my last recording in the UK before moving to Mozambique. A melancholic song of good bye, with the guest appearance by my friend Javi Ortega, aka el Alquimista and his magic hands (he did the hand claps), the same hands that held me at the beginning of my life in this country, now were happily waving good-bye. Lyrics Soledad , camisa de plata Es lo que te viste cada manhana , cada manhana Quien sabra si el futuro te curara Si este amor se queda o se va Quien sabra quien sabra Cuando yo me vaya quien te traera calma , calma Es la calma de la brisa que enfria la piel al sol Esa calma que hay en todos enterrada en el Corazon Que nos habla y que nos dice que el dolor pasara Es la calma de la arena golpeada por el mar Esa calma que hay en todos , fragil como un cristal Que nos dice y que nos cuenta que el amor traera calma Tristeza en tus ojos pude encontrar el reflejo de un alma que desea volar Cuando yo me vaya quien te traera calma , calma Es la calma de la brisa que enfria la piel al sol Esa calma que hay en todos enterrada en el Corazon Que nos habla y que nos dice que el dolor pasara Es la calma de la arena golpeada por el mar Esa calma que hay en todos , fragil como un cristal Que nos dice y que nos cuenta que el amor traera calma
	2	Felicidad My first summer in Sweden. I went to record the third collaboration with Axwell as Mambana, in his brand new studio in Stockholm. This time, unfortunately, without the intervention of the Phat Nerds.

	3	Pasilda Afro Medusa's first and only hit together. With Patrick Cole and Nick Bennett, I formed this band that changed name, record company and plans many times. It was a lot of fun to perform this song all over the world. It came to me while driving to the hospital.....my friends Ision and Perico were having their first baby, Virginia.....I called her Pasilda.

	4	Clorophylla What a crazy week I had during my first time recording in Sweden, at Stonebridge's studio! Got together with Mixmaster and wrote and recorded several tracks, among them was Clorophylla. A Swedish, an Italian and a Spaniard drinking vast amounts of coffee and watching the deer under the northern night, very inspiring! I have loads of fun memories of that time. Lyrics Peru Put a little love Peru Put a little love Peru Put a little love Cuentan que un dia un angel que volaba al mirarlo se dejo caer Y disfrazado jugando a su lado esperaba a verle nacer Paso el verano los mares se agitaron y en su fondo comenzo a crecer Con las tormentas las olas las Corrientes lo arrastaron un atardecer Y alcanza la luna Y suenha despierto Y enciende una llama Donde sopla el viento Y saca la espina Que nace del silencio Y cura la herida Y danza contento Y danza contento Oye el ninho pez Peru Peru Dame clopophilla Peru Dame clopophilla Peru Dame clopophilla Peru Dame clorophilla Peru Put a little love Peru Put a little love Peru Put a little love Peru Put a little love Peru Put a little love Peru Put a little love Cuentan que un dia un angel que volaba al mirarlo se dejo caer Y disfrazado jugando a su lado esperaba a verle nacer Paso el verano los mares se agitaron y en su fondo comenzo a crecer Con las tormentas las olas las Corrientes lo arrastaron un atardecer Y alcanza la luna Y suenha despierto Y enciende una llama Donde sopla el viento Y saca la espina Que nace del silencio Y cura la herida Y danza contento Y danza contento Oye el ninho pez Peru Peru Dame clopophilla Peru Dame clopophilla Peru Dame clopophilla Peru Dame clorophilla Peru Put a little love Peru Put a little love Peru Put a little love Peru Put a little love Peru Put a little love Peru Put a little love
	5	Magic I remember that barn in Oxford where Pat, Nick and I locked ourselves away for a week to write some tunes as Afro Angel, the group's new name. Basically, we had a great time coming up with some fun ideas, some rubbish ideas and..."magic", which got signed by Concept Music. A lovely song that deserved more than to stay in the limbo of the music business… Lyrics In the place where I belong to There is no time for us to cry Come on and rescue me from dying And take me to your place in hackney town Cos every time I’m feeling lonely Every time I feel the pain You just come to me and tell me Baby you know that’s not the way It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back again It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back again I’m in the darkest place in heaven I can hear music far away Come on and rescue me from paradise And tell me to your place in hell Cos every time I’m feeling lonely Every time I feel the pain You just come to me and tell me Baby you know that’s not the way It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back again It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back again It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back again It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back again It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back again It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back again It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back again It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back again It’s such a shame If magic can’t come back again
	6	No reason First Mambana song. My publishers at the time, Edel, sent me to Sweden to work with Stonebridge and Mixmaster, and to meet these three young producers who had a funky track that needed a tune to go with it…..these young guys were Axwell and the 2 Phat Nerds. See also: axwell.co.uk soulfuric.com Lyrics You know there’s no time to be afraid any more You know there’s no time for you to wait Cos there is no reason for people to stay In that circle that killed their dreams away And maybe you can fly high You can talk to your mind I’ve just realized That you can find your own way If you only dare to say If you only dare to say Buscala Tu esperanza guiara Buscala Tu esperanza guiara You know there are clouds and there is pain You know there’s no limit to the brain Cos there are no walls no black holes and no rain To hide the mighty power of yourself Cos baby you can fly high You can talk to your mind I’ve just realized That you can find your own way If you only dare to say If you only dare to say Buscala Tu esperanza guiara Buscala Tu esperanza guiara Buscala Tu esperanza guiara Buscala Tu esperanza guiara
	7	Libre After the success of "No Reason", we decided to get together again as Mambana.....second trip to Sweden .Another funky tune produced by Axwell and the Phat Nerds. See also: axwell.co.uk soulfuric.com Lyrics I found my way one extraordinary day When people looking to my eyes made me realize They said they saw in every corner of the world Other people just waiting for love What a difference would it make If we didn’t make the same mistakes over and over and over again But if you believe there’s so much for you to see You will always find the key to be free Libre Quiero mi libertad Busco el secreto de la felicidad Libre Quiero mi libertad Busco el secreto de la felicidad Libre Quiero mi libertad Busco el secreto de la felicidad Libre Quiero mi libertad Busco el secreto de la felicidad Some times I feel that my dreams are only dreams And the future doesn’t hold what it seems But now I see how much better it will be Now I know that future brings Anything we need What a difference would it make If we didn’t make the same mistakes over and over and over again But if we believe there’s so much for us to see We will always find the key to be free Libre Quiero mi libertad Busco el secreto de la felicidad Libre Quiero mi libertad Busco el secreto de la felicidad Libre Quiero mi libertad Busco el secreto de la felicidad Libre Quiero mi libertad Busco el secreto de la felicidad Libre Quiero mi libertad Busco el secreto de la felicidad Libre Quiero mi libertad Busco el secreto de la felicidad Libre Quiero mi libertad Busco el secreto de la felicidad Libre Quiero mi libertad Busco el secreto de la felicidad
	8	No Pares I went to record with this guy that I never met, to see what happened.....and I found Sullee, an extremely warm and friendly guy. We did a good day’s work and came up with this really positive track which, for some reason, never made it. Shame! It still brings me good memories though! See also: www.defected.com Lyrics Donde vas Con esa cara y esa boca que no puedo ya besar El que me ensenho a volar Pero donde ira Yo le pregunto a las gaviotas a las nubes a la mar A la nieve y a la sal Pero nunca he preguntado al que sabe la verdad Donde ira El que hizo que mis suenhos se hicieran realidad No pares no pares Mi amigo no te pares No pares no pares No pares no pares Mi amigo no te pares No pares no pares What’s the use of passing by through life If we believe it’s made for others What’s the use of passing by through life Donde vas Con esas alas tan bonitas que no paran de brillar Dime cuando llegaras Pero donde vas Cuando aterrizes en tu nido No dejes de llamar No pares no pares Mi amigo no te pares No pares no pares No pares no pares Mi amigo no te pares No pares no pares What’s the use of passing by through life If we believe it’s made for others What’s the use of passing by through life If we believe it’s made for others What’s the use of passing by through life If we believe it’s made for others What’s the use of passing by through life If we believe it’s made for others No pares no pares Mi amigo no te pares No pares no pares No pares no pares Mi amigo no te pares No pares no pares
	9	Asi Asi Mixmaster-Stonebridge-Isabel Fructuoso first collaboration. My first time in Sweden. The first time I experienced extremely cold weather mixed with extremely warm people. Lyrics Yo que siempre te he dicho que no dejes de sonhar Y que tus ilusiones nunca tengan un final Y si se empanha el alma nunca dejes de cantar Dime si fue asi asi asi Y ahora que tu te has ido y que me has dejado atras a Ahora que mi universo ha dejado de girar Ahora que todo es triste yoy te he de confesar Que siempre crei que tus suenhos se harian realidad Y ahora que tu te has ido y que me has dejado atras a Ahora que mi universo ha dejado de girar Ahora que todo es triste yo te he de confesar Que siempre crei que tus suenhos se harian realidad
