M ti ta bai contab um estoria di um senhorita qui tava chuma Dona Lea
Sai di casa bai pa Merca dicha se Papa, Mama, dicha ses fidj, se terra, temp qui ca tinha sapato
Ca tinha riqueza
Dona Lea go e um sinhora qui ta manda, ta dismanda, ta pensa qui tud mundo vivi na se gostu
El ta faze se gana, Dona Lea e rainha di se quintal
Esh penhoral ses bardolega go nha Lea volta cu mom na frenti quell out pa tras
Go el prendi qui quond bo bai bo ca pode esqueci cutelo ma bo cuzcuz
Finura Caba, Jogo Caba, Aposta sai furado, tiro sai’l pa culatra
El sai di Merca, bai se casa, el prendi vivi mas humilde, sem soberba 
Rainha na Se Quintal

(ENG) Donna Lee

I’m gonna tell a story of a lady whose name is Donna Lee
Left Home, went to the States, left her dad, her Mom, left her kids, her land, the time when there’s no shoes in her feet, no richness’s
Donna lee now is a lady that imposes and disposes, thinking that the world spins around her
She does whatever she wants, Donna Lee is the Queen of her own backyard
Her affairs where pawned, now Miss Lee comes back with even less than she took
Now she learns that when you leave you can’t forget your home and your cuscus
Wealth is gone, game is over, bad bet, she left the states went back home, 
She learned to live humbly,  without presumptions
Donna Lea The Queen of her own Backyard

Mongo's Mambo

Building on the success of her Independent Music Award-winning second release Sube Azul, vocalist Sofia Rei returns with the spellbinding De Tierra Y Oro ("of earth and gold"). Rei describes the album as a series of "philosophical wanderings" -- songs that draw on a wide range of South American folkloric influences and bracingly modern sounds, with Rei's powerful voice in the forefront. Rei produced the album with her longtime bassist and collaborator Jorge Roeder and co-producer Fabrice Dupont.

La Llorona

From the legendary group Septeto Nacional de Ignacio Piñeiro, the tune "Embale Tiene La Llave", from the album ¡Sin Rumba no hay Son!, is a tribute to one of Cuba's unique and versatile voices, Carlos Embale, who sang with Septeto Nacional for three decades.
