Gafufa Cinco

"Cinco," the latest EP by Gafufa, has been a long time in the making. It builds on the band’s signature blend of eclectic acoustic and electronic sounds, staying true to the authenticity that defines their music. This time, however, a clear evolution unfolds. Tracks like "Mal de Ayer" tap into the band’s deep Latin roots, while "Fingir" offers a lighter, more accessible vibe. Meanwhile, songs like "Everybody Knows" and "Gente Bien" reflect political discontent and the pervasive sense of helplessness in today’s world. As with all Gafufa EPs, the eclecticism is intentional, making room for creative expression. At its core, *Cinco* thrives on collaboration and friendship, born from inspired afternoons in Miami’s Gafufa Cave.

en Español

"Cinco," el más reciente EP de Gafufa, es un proyecto que tomó bastante tiempo en gestarse. Manteniéndose fiel a la autenticidad que define su música, *Cinco* fusiona sonidos acústicos y electrónicos. Sin embargo, esta vez se nota una clara evolución. El tema "Mal de Ayer" destaca por la influencia de las raíces latinas de la banda, mientras que "Fingir" ofrece una vibra más ligera y fácil de digerir. Por otro lado, canciones como "Everybody Knows" y "Gente Bien" reflejan un descontento político y una sensación de impotencia frente a la realidad actual. Como en todos los EPs de Gafufa, la variedad es inherente e intencional, abriendo espacios para la libre expresión creativa. En su esencia, *Cinco* prospera gracias a la colaboración y la amistad, forjadas en tardes de inspiración en la Cueva de Gafufa en Miami.

Fingir

"Fingir" es una canción de corte acústico con guitarras resonantes, de esas que parecen haber estado escritas en algún lugar, esperando el momento de tomar forma. La canción evoca el desamor y esos instantes en los que soltar el pasado es la única opción, porque quedarse implicaría fingir una relación que ya no existe.

Promesas fugaces
Sin motivación
Cautivas de un tiempo
En contradicción

Me ahogo ante el peso
De una gran verdad
Todo lo que empieza
Tiene que acabar

Uououo
Y ya no tengo mas palabras que decir
Y ya no tengo mas canciones que escribir
Hoy me voy de aquí ya no se fingir
Hoy me voy de aquí ya no se fingir

Recuerdo aquel momento
En que nació el dolor
Perdimos nuestra magia
Se desvaneció

Miles de silencios
Sin explicación
Miradas criminales
Buscando redención

Uououo
Y ya no tengo mas palabras que decir
Y ya no tengo mas canciones que escribir
Hoy me voy de aquí ya no se fingir
Hoy me voy de aquí ya no se fingir

Y ya no tengo mas palabras que decir
Y ya no tengo mas canciones que escribir
Hoy me voy de aquí ya no se fingir
Hoy me voy de aquí ya no se fingir

Uou, uou, uoooo
Uou, uou, uoooo

Hoy me voy de aquí ya no se fingir
Hoy me voy de aquí ya no se fingir

Everybody Knows

"Everybody Knows" delves into the pitfalls of poor leadership. It addresses not only political figures who lack the courage and integrity to stand up for the people but also ineffective leaders within teams, corporations, or any human organization. The song suggests that, at times, the absence of leadership is preferable to the damage caused by a bad leader.

Everybody knows this ain't what we want
Everybody knows this shit won't stand
Everybody feels it's time for a change
We can do much better when you're not there

We want to feel that we belong
That we are not alone
We want to feel that we are strong
When things go wrong
We want to write a common song
This ain't no fucking joke
We can do much better when you're not there

Everybody knows we are what we are
People working hard just trying to get by
We used to be one now we're set to ignite
We used to stand together when you were not there

We want to feel that we belong
That we are not alone
We want to feel that we are strong
When things go wrong
We want to write a common song
This ain't no fucking joke
We can do much better when you're not there

We want to feel that we belong
That we are not alone
We want to feel that we are strong
When things go wrong
We want to write a common song
This ain't no fucking joke
We can do much better when you're not there

Mal de Ayer

"Mal de Ayer" es una canción ligera con vibrantes sonidos latinos que se adhieren a la mente, recorren el cuerpo y llevan inevitablemente al movimiento. Invita a liberar las penas del pasado a través de un baile desenfrenado, sudando cada emoción al compás de un despecho.

No me deja ya dormir
Esta música maldita
No me deja ya vivir
Este ritmo en mi cabeza

No me puedo concentrar
Ni me puedo relajar
Es como de otro planeta
Esta mierda me apendeja

Esto es un mal de ayer
Que me busca vencer
Esto es un mal de ayer
Esto no puede ser

Esto es un mal de ayer
Que me busca vencer
Esto es un mal de ayer
Esto no puede ser

Esto es un mal de ayer
Y es que no puede ser

No me deja de sonar
Este son que me palpita
Sus acordes me embelesan
Todo el cuerpo se me agita

Se me mueve el esqueleto
Y no lo puedo contener
Como un rayo por adentro
Me domina por completo

Esto es un mal de ayer
Que me busca vencer
Esto es un mal de ayer
Esto no puede ser

Esto es un mal de ayer
Que me busca vencer
Esto es un mal de ayer
Esto no puede ser

Esto es un mal de ayer
Y es que no puede ser

Esto es un mal de ayer

Stuck

"Stuck" encapsulates the feeling of being trapped in an emotional abyss, where escape seems impossible. The song poignantly explores the weight of depression, a difficult and isolating place to endure. In its own sincere and unpretentious way, it reminds us that everyone, at some point, needs a helping hand to break free.

What do you do when you're stuck
In the middle of the road, oh no
You call all you know for help
You're pushing uphill alone

What do you do when you're stuck
And there's nobody there for you
You give all you got to move
But something in you turned blue

What do you do when you're stuck
Do you give up or put up a fight
Will you let friends lend a hand
Or let it all crumble inside

What do you do when you're stuck
Regretting the past, oh no
Every fork in the road you took
The decisions that made you you

What if you don't want to up your deal no more
Oh no
Look up to the sky for help
Give up on the faith you loved

What do you do when you're stuck
Do you give up or put up a fight
Will you let friends lend a hand
Or let it all crumble inside

Times like these
Don't go it alone
Darkest fears
Don't lose all hope

Times like these
Don't go it alone
Darkest fears
Let's go, move on

What do you do when you're stuck
Do you give up or put up a fight
Will you let friends lend a hand
Or let it all crumble inside

What do you do when you're stuck
Do you give up or put up a fight
Will you let friends lend a hand
Or let it all crumble inside

Crumble inside

Gente Bien

"Gente Bien" es una canción que satiriza el absurdo del elitismo y la pretensión de superioridad por pertenecer a una supuesta "mejor familia." Aborda una temática especialmente relevante en sociedades donde la segregación de clases representa un riesgo latente, alimentando el descontento social y, en última instancia, desembocando en populismo.

Y se sienten mejores
Se sienten ganadores
Se creen que cagan flores
Y son seres superiores

Se adelantan en las filas
Se miran con envidia
Se deleitan de mostrar
Lo que tu nunca tendrás

Nunca

No te preocupes nena
Son gente super bien

No importa, mira que bien puso la mesa
No importa, se mueve con delicadeza
No importa, si desciende de realeza
No importa, o si en English te conversa

No importa, la rata se delata a la hora final

Y que hacían tus abuelos
De quién fueron herederos
Cómo hicieron sus imperios
Y en que zona de la ciudad

Hortúa

Cuida mucho tus palabras
Pues algunas no te pasan
Te revelan, te delatan
Que no tienes nivel social

No te preocupes nena
Son gente super bien

No importa, mira que bien puso la mesa
No importa, se mueve con delicadeza
No importa, si desciende de realeza
No importa, o si en English te conversa

No importa, la rata se delata a la hora final

El mundo al instante

Uff, muy basto

No te preocupes nena
Son gente super bien

No importa, mira que bien puso la mesa
No importa, se mueve con delicadeza
No importa, si desciende de realeza
No importa, o si en English te conversa

No importa, la rata se delata a la hora final

Only Me

"Only Me" is a defiant anthem about confronting someone who relentlessly demands apologies. This time, in this battle, it’s just me standing firm, and I refuse to back down or utter another apology.

I won't tell no more stories
I won't fall in your trap no more

I won't tell no more stories
I won't tell no more lies
I won't fall in your trap no more
I won't apologize

You won't have me surrender
Stand in front of the firing line
I could regret this forever, yeah
But will live for the fight

Don't pretend you feel alone
Don't pretend you ain't strong
Don't pretend you can't respond
And don't you tell me you are gone
I won't fall for it no more
I don't want to be ignored
I would rather set you free
Standing here it's only me

But it's only me
Standing here
I'm not about to say I'm sorry
But I'm going to tell my story
It's only me
Standing here
I'm not about to say I'm sorry
But I'm going to tell my story

I chose to stay when I had a chance
Settled down forget the past
I'm now alive but dying on the vine
Picked up the pieces with bloody hands

I won't carry your guilt, this time
Or play your game from dusk till dawn
I won't wait for the battle sign
I won't apologize

Don't pretend you feel alone
Don't pretend you ain't strong
Don't pretend you can't respond
And don't you tell me you are gone
I won't fall for it no more
I don't want to be ignored
I would rather set you free
Standing here it's only me

But it's only me
Standing here
I'm not about to say I'm sorry
But I'm going to tell my story
It's only me
Standing here
I'm not about to say I'm sorry
But I'm going to tell my story

Don't pretend you feel alone
Don't pretend you ain't strong
Don't pretend you can't respond
And don't you tell me you are gone
I won't fall for it no more
I don't want to be ignored
I would rather set you free
Standing here it's only me

But it's only me
Standing here
I'm not about to say I'm sorry
But I'm going to tell my story
It's only me
Standing here
I'm not about to say I'm sorry
But I'm going to tell my story
