about

"Macumba" is the latest single off of Cheo's upcoming album, Música Para Verse Bien which comes out on the 26thMay. The album is a love letter dedicated to Latin music recorded live with a bunch of Cheo’s friends and one he hopes will make us all feel better. ‘Macumba’ follows previous singles "Corazón Usado" featuring Argentine singer songwriter Isabel Aladro, "Libre" featuring fellow celebrated Venezuelan Nella, "Agujas en el pecho" featuring Colombian artist Catalina Garcia from Monsieur Periné, and "Maybe Baby" featuring the incredible maye. Macumba is dark, rhythmical and filled with brujería.

lyrics

Miedo, despertarme y no besarte
A buscar y no encontrarte
Al silencio acostumbrarme

Ya sé, de mi quieres apartarte
Andar por otro camino
Que esté bien lejos del mío

Sabes? Lo que yo te di no es poco
Mala calidad tampoco
De lo que pediste todo

Tiempo, ya he perdido suficiente
Mucho daño el que me has hecho
Y ese cuento terminó

Esa macumba que me echaste se acabó
Sal de este cuerpo, sape gato, vámonos
Tanto maltrato y yo pegado, terminó
Te tuve miedo tanto tiempo, se acabó

Sólo no estoy (x2)
Tengo unos amigos que no me dejan morir
Sólo no estoy (x2)
Mi ángel de la guarda no va a dejar morir
