Mia (feat. Carlos Cascante)

supported by

Tomas Algarin 2020's Slamminest set! Doug Beavers and the cast make this one of the saving graces of 2020. The knockout mambo tippin' it off at shy over 2:40 sets this up for a throwback to the glory days of Mambo arrangements (Ray Santos would be proud D...), and the vocal crew from SHO: Cascante on lead, and Bermudez + Bosch in the coro, well listen fo' yo' self and testify! Dig? Love it... 5 Coquis on this one - Tomas Algarin

about

"Mia", the 2nd single from Doug Beavers 2020 release "Sol", talks about a love that you didn't know was in your life, but was right in front of you the entire time.

Spanish Harlem Orchestra vocalist and Circle 9 Artist Carlos Cascante delivers an especially poignant performance of his penned lyrics to the song, with the music composition and arranging duties handled by 2019 Grammy® Award winner Doug Beavers.

lyrics

[Lyrics]

Le di mi amor
Desde el momento que la vi entro en mi vida
Y sin pensarlo su sonrisa conquistaba
Lo profundo de mi corazón

De repente
Como aquel sueño que esperaba desde siempre
En un instante tu mirada apasionada
Se adueñaba de toda ilusión

No quisiera imaginar
Si llegar a fracasar
Lo más bello de este amor por mis dudas
Porque en cada amanecer
Que despierto junto a ti
Soy el ser más dichoso
Un hombre feliz

Le di mi amor
Desde el momento en que la vi
Cambio mi vida
Y toda tu felicidad la hiciste mía
Sin tu cariño yo moriría

Y yo quisiera que por siempre fueras mía
En mi alma
Quiero guardar tus alegrías

No se lo que voy hacer
Te necesito mujer
