Intro (Wyclef):
Ladies and gents
Turn up this sound system
To the sound of Carlos Santana
And the GMBs
Ghetto blues from the refugee camp
Hook:
Oh Maria Maria
She reminds me of a westside story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's livin' her life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar
Played by Carlos Santan
*guitar plays*
Verse 1:
Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinkin' of ways to make it better
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
Somebody just said see you later
Bridge:

Verse 2:
I said a la favella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water
To put out the fire
Mi canto la esperanza
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinkin' of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise

When the wind blows I can feel you through the weather
And even when we are apart
It feels like we are together

The lyrics MARIA MARIA (WYCLEF REMIX) of SANTANA is also present in the album Ceremony (2003)
Santana è un gruppo musicale statunitense fondato dal chitarrista messicano Carlos Santana, considerato uno dei più grandi chitarristi di tutti i tempi. Il genere musicale del gruppo è principalmente rock con influenze latine. Carlos Santana è nato ad Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, in Messico, e si trasferì a Tijuana con la sua famiglia. Qui imparò a suonare musica dal padre, che faceva parte di un gruppo mariachi. Le sue influenze musicali furono i bluesman degli anni '50 e '60 e i rocker. Tijuana fu il suo terreno d'addestramento iniziale, suonando in cantine e perfezionando le sue abilità. Dopo essersi trasferito negli Stati Uniti con la famiglia, Santana si stabilì nella Baia di San Francisco, dove formò The Santana Blues Band, che poi divenne semplicemente Santana. Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo internazionale negli anni '70 con album come *Abraxas* (1970) e *Santana III* (1971), caratterizzati da un sound psichedelico e fusion di rock, jazz e musica latina. Alcuni dei brani più rappresentativi del gruppo sono: "Black Magic Woman", "Oye Como Va", "Smooth" (in collaborazione con Rob Thomas).
In the realm of rock 'n' roll, there are few names as iconic as Queen, and within the Queen pantheon, Brian May stands out not only as a legendary guitarist but also as an astrophysicist with a profound connection to NASA.
Hip-hop, one of the most influential cultural movements of the 20th and 21st centuries, has recently reached a significant milestone - it's turning 50 years old.
Coachella Festival 2022: here we are. In two days the doors of one of the most anticipated musical events of the year will open, even more so after the last two years in which for very obvious reasons the live music sector has suffered a very important setback.
The 2022 Grammy Awards were the chronicle of an announced triumph: Jon Baptiste collected 11 nominations and won 5 Grammys, defeating all opponents. This was also the year of the very young Olivia Rodrigo, who managed to take home 3 Grammys, including the the best new artist.
Here is finally some good news, the Arcade Fire have finally revealed the title and release date of their new album, 5 years after the last one. For the fan of the group it has been a time that seemed eternal,
Do we want to define "I know you know me" a masterpiece? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt for at least two reasons. The first and most evident are the artists who interpret it: Caroline Spence and Matt Berninger, second for the deep and poetic text.
My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
It has been talked about for almost 3 years, rumored and it is hoped that sooner or later they will arrive at a collaboration, and now we are satisfied: the Catalan singer Rosalia and the American musician Oneohtrix finally announce the publication of a piece together!
