about
Deeply rooted in the powerful rhythms that are part of the afro-Peruvian tradition, Afrodita expands out into the universe incorporating the sounds of contemporary world music. Its first CD Amarte breaks out of the "box" creating a new sound, featuring original songs by Peruvian percussionist and composer Hector Morales whose unique style, undulates in flips and turns, with insightful lyrics that embrace love, environmental themes and social critique. Afrodita seamlessly merges the sounds of Peruvian landos and festejos with afro-Cuban rumbas, cha cha cha’s, R&B, Jazz, Arabic motives and floaty rock and dance digressions.

No esperes que ya nos hayamos ido a Marte (bis)

pa que aprendas a amar la tierra
la madre tierra que te parió (bis)
no digas que a ti no te hemos invitado (bis)
las puertas están abiertas de lado a lado

Besarte
Que no haría yo
por besarte
que no haría yo
por besarte

Es que es un arte mira
esto e’ besarte
es lo mas bello de la vida
dame otro beso amor
vamos volando al sol
que mas podemos pedir
y practicando amor
va a ser mucho mejor
esto que vamos a vivir
Coro
Si para besarte
no me quedan mas dudas
yo para besarte, nací
Nació de Dios

Oyeme!
Voy a recoger las flores
van a ser las mejores
que broten de mi jardín
para mi negra
A Aye
A Aye ee
No te puedo olvidar
te has metido en lo mas profundo
como estrella de mar
soy velero que perdió el rumbo
al hacerse a la mar
al bañarme en tu mar sin fondo
al jugar al amar
Tu perfume de amapola
me despierte cada aurora
vivo en el desvelo por ti
óyeme negra
que daría si volvieras
bajaría las estrellas
pondría el sol a tus pies
óyeme negra
Oyeme negra, óyeme negra…… - Track Name: Turn Around

Turn Around
Got to turn around
got to see what’s going on out there
got to turn around
got to see what’s going on
So many faces need to face reality
so we can keep moving on…
how many faces need to face brutality
before our head turns around
You got to be the change
you want to see in the world
How many faces need to face brutality
before your head turns around
Just turn around, just turn around…. - Track Name: Transformations

Transformations
La esclavitud, la esclavitud
no se a acabado
se a transformado uoh oooh y
En las fábricas de China
los he visto trabajar
por los míseros salarios
que luego van a cobrar
trabajan noches y días
y Domingos y feriados
que no te engañen mi negro
en el mundo aun ay esclavos.
Mueren niños en la India
en las redes de un telar
tejiendo alfombras de seda
dime quien las va a comprar
Te siento, te siento
llegar, llegar (bis)
Música para liberarte (bis) - Track Name: Toro Mata

Toro Mata
Toro mata yyyy..
Toro mata
Toro mata rumbambero
Toro mata.
En el mundo
solo existe
gente buena y
gente mala
Toro mata
De la buena
vengo yo
ya el que quiero
me lo ha dicho
toro mata
spoken word (by Ricardo Coke)
In the back of my mind
I think of the passage of time
' Never stands still
cause who am I
I'm just another "brotha"
"tryina" do what he can
"wit'" his plans
"tryina" stay alive If I can
Every body "talkin'" "'bout"
they game plans
while the sands keep "fallin"
through the hour glass
time pass
"gotta" put it together
before is gone forever
you ever take a look
into the back of your mind
to find
where "ya" life
took a trip
to some place
called peace of mind
like the first time
the ghetto tasted love
it was peace on the streets
and the thugs
put they guns down
"they" hands was empty
so they set the streets free.
Salam aleikum…..za! - Track Name: El Oasis

El Oasis
Son las playas
de tu cuerpo
un desierto
un oasis de placer
en su centro (bis)
yo lo hua encontrar
y lo hua probar
yo lo hua encontrar
en el centro, en el centro…
Yo no se lo que tiene
ese cuerpo al bailar
pero a mi me fascina
yo lo quiero probar
Dunas doradas, inexploradas
cuerpo de sal
dunas que un día solo la brisa
pudo tocar
Siente el ritmo que marca
al latir mi tambor
ritmo que aunque no quieras
te va haciendo el amor
Por el desierto
se pierde mi andar
busco tu aliento
para respirar
mira que pierdo
niña la razón
busco un oasis
en tu corazón….(inspiración) - Track Name: Tu Me Sabes Amar
-
Tu Me Sabes Amar
Coro:
Tu me sabes amar, amar
tu me sabes amar, oye (bis)
Tu me sabes y lo sabes
óyelo bien (bis)
Tu sabes como vengo
sabes como vengo……
Es el mar de tu mirada
el que me tiene embrujada(o)
es la brisa de tu aliento
que turba mi pensamiento
y la espuma cuando besas
se me sube a la cabeza
A AAAAA!
Coro
Yo se que tu eres
un espejismo
solo el producto
del hipnotismo
de tus miradas
y de tu andar
niña(o) conmigo
vas a acabar
Coro
Amame a tu manera
gózame como quieras (bis)
Coro - Track Name: Tu Sonrisa

Tu Sonrisa
Tiene mi son
tiene tu sonrisa
Ven a ver que ha sucedido
un pedacito de cielo se ha caído
tiene mi son tiene mi son
tiene mi son tiene mi son
y tu risa que es mi bendición
Brilla tu sonrisa
juega tu mirada
lo iluminas todo
con tu risa clara
y cuando tu llanto da en mi corazón
brotan melodías
que sembraste en mi alma
Coro
Brilla tu sonrisa
juega tu mirada
lo iluminas todo
con tu risa clara
y cuando tu llanto
da en mi corazón
brotan melodías
que sembraste en mi alma
Tiene mi son caballero
de la creación la mas pura es tu bella criatura
todo lo que viene del amor eso eres tu
niña querida este canto que se convierta en un manto
para protegerte siempre.
