Review

1) Summary of the Story in the Lyrics

The lyrics celebrate an intoxicating attraction where the beloved’s face ("carita linda") leaves an indelible mark on the narrator’s soul. Rauw Alejandro blends celestial imagery ("la luna llena") with storm metaphors ("tempestad") to portray this love as both calming and all-consuming. The repeated "Cómo me gustas tú a mí" emphasizes an almost wordless passion—so intense it defies verbal expression ("no puedo decir").

2) Emotional Impact & Storytelling Technique

Rauw’s silky reggaetón flow floats over a dreamy dembow rhythm, creating a hypnotic contrast between fiery desire and romantic tenderness. The lyrics oscillate between poetic devotion ("calma en esta tempestad") and raw physicality ("Quisiera hablarte de otro tema"), using the moon as a witness to a love that’s both grounding and electrifying.

3) Themes & Tone

No explicit language, but the song simmers with sensual tension. The tone is flirtatious yet reverent—more "love-struck awe" than overtly sexual.

4) Music Video Relation

The "Carita Linda" video is a fiery tribute to Caribbean roots and raw charm, blending rural life with sensual energy. Rauw perches on a tree branch by the river, embodying playful wildness, while the camera spotlights slices of local pride: a woman cooking over firewood, young hands sifting coffee beans, kids playing soccer on sandy ground, and a mother holding her child with effortless grace.

A model gliding downriver in a canoe and Rauw riding horseback as a horned devil add mythical flair—as if the love he sings about ("tú eres mi calma en esta tempestad") is both ritual and revelry. The all-male dance crew and an elderly couple kissing underscore desire as a timeless, unifying force.

The nighttime finale, with drumbeats and communal dancing, ties every story together under a full moon—mirroring the song’s magic: turning admiration into legacy ("hay caritas lindas que no se pueden borrar").
