After supporting Boy Pablo, Sofiá Valdés, A-Wall, Luna Luna, & Victor Internet; Ariel & The Culture had a busy 2021. Released independently in 2020, Dame Tu Amor, an indie cumbia, was the public's first look at Ariel’s new and unique style of Indie Pop music. After going viral on TikTok, Dame Tu Amor eventually reached the pages of Bandcamp, Remezcla, NPR’s Alt.Latino, & more.
Originating as a band, Ariel shifted to a solo artist in 2020 with the release of his first solo single and was featured on several Spotify Editorial playlists. Ariel followed up in March 2021 with ‘Push To Start’ a collaborative single with Pretty Boy Aaron. Finding success in France and Europe, the fresh 90’s inspired R&B track was playlisted by Deezer & more.
Coming off the heels of a sold out run with Boy Pablo & Sofiá Valdés on the ‘Wachito Rico’ Tour, Ariel is gearing up to tour again later this year and is also working on his first official EP.
lyrics
e quedas en mi corazón Y yo no quiero más Cuando yo estoy contigo
Amor que es que tu piensas Me pierde en tus sueños Y no quiero amanecer Okay? Oh, ohhh…
I’m living it up now, for a minute
Yo me quiero vivir en tus sueños
Can I get up now?
Despiértame con alma y tu voz
Te quedas en mi corazón Y yo no quiero más Cuando yo estoy contigo
Amor que es que tu piensas Me pierde en tus sueños Y no quiero amanecer Okay? Oh, ohhh…
I’m living it up now, for a minute
Yo me quiero vivir en tus sueños
Can I get up now?
Despiértame con alma y tu voz
But you act like you don’t need it
You’re always so conceited
What’s your problem, oh yeah
And you’re leaving me on read
And I’m full of all these feelings
I’m lost without ya
I’m praying to you every night
I see you in my dreams
Put my head up on my pillow
I’ll see you when I sleep
Tonight, I’m feeling forward
Yeah you know it babe, oh yeah
Te quedas en mi corazón Y yo no quiero más Cuando yo estoy contigo
Amor que es que tu piensas Me pierde en tus sueños Y no quiero amanecer Okay? Oh, ohhh…
