This was the first single from Cabas's fourth album, AMORES DIFICILES from 2008. I had forgotten how much I liked this song until I saw the full length video a couple of days ago on HTV.
I still don't understand why Juanes and Fonseca are the two Colombian singer-songwriters who get all the attention from music critics and audiences, when Cabas is far superior; he has an interesting, edgy, alternative aesthetic that makes his music much more innovative.
And his videos are always cool; "bonita" is not the exception: simple, cool, and entertaining. I hope this guy gets the recognition he deserves soon. |

What is HTV? The song is really catchy. HTV = Hispanic Televison, a latin music channel based out of Miami. It's sort of like MTV but solely for TOP 40 latin artists. It's ok, but I wish they would have more rock en espanol.
And yes, this song is very catchy. I haven't heard if Cabas has released an official second single. Most fans speculated the next single would be "he pecado" featuring Enrique Bunbury and Orishas . |

I don't think Fonseca has more attention or is more popular than Cabas. I think Cabas' star has faded a bit since he debuted, though. One reason could be explained by this song, for example. Bland, pure, cheesy  Fonseca is even cheesier IMO, but Juanes is above both artists. The problem of Juanes is that he repeated himself too much in his last album and needs a new sound, recreation SOON. Cabas has gotten good songs, good fusions, too, but then is a bit average and his voice, although pleasant, does not stand out either. |

I don't think Fonseca has more attention or is more popular than Cabas. Really, you don't? Because I sure hear his craptastic songs--especially "te mando flores"--on the radio every hour. How can you say Cabas's voice is bland but defend Juanes's; he's just as mediocre of a vocalist. Cabas is far superior because he is able to blend many styles and sounds: vallenato, pop, cumbia, funk. He is the epitome of a true alternative artist.
I wish I could find a link to his song "chiles rellenos" which is brilliant, but I've looked everywhere and can't. Go to iTunes if you have it and look it up. You won't regret it.
And I can't belive you find this song lame. I love "bonita" for its simplicity and amazing hook. |
