Review
Bachata en Fukuoka lyrics and meaning
Bachata en Fukuoka is a song by the Dominican singer Juan Luis Guerra. The song was released in 2010 and the song has a beautiful story behind it. Originally Juan Luis Guerra wasn’t planning on making the song, he was making a tour around multiple countries and the first one of them was Japan, at first, he didn’t know how it was going to be to sing in Japan, he had never imagined that people with a different language and culture will enjoy his songs that much. He was amazed that Japanese people received him with so much love, they sang his song and even dance bachata. For that reason, he fell in love with Japan and the people from the city of Fukuoka, he walked on Momochi beach and even learned a few Japanese expressions like Arigatou and Konnichiwa.
The video clip tells us the story of an old lady walking on the streets of Fukuoka when from the skies falls a paper that contains the drawing of a flower, the lady analyzes the drawing and something started inside of her that made her happy, the lady runs to pick up a bus and while traveling she turns younger, after a while she drops the bus and pick up a bicycle and drives to the beach of Momochi where she finds her a man who she loves, they dance on the sand that’s about the video clip.
Bachata en Fukuoka lyrics narrate Juan Luis Guerra's experience when he traveled to Fukuoka. He speaks about the 9 hours of flight to Paris, He had to cross through Russia to be able to reach Japan. He discovered that people in Fukuoka were able to dance the bachata. People in Japan taught him certain expressions like: “arigatou gozaimasu”. He felt like he belonged in Japan.
