about

Vacilón is a modern festive cumbia with elements of Colombian salsa and a hint of the Balkans that calls for freedom and togetherness. With great brass elements and a catchy lyrics, this song is a real party hit!

This is as close as GKO has ever come to a pop song. Perditi states that he started composing it as a joke of a commercial cheesy cumbia, and the next thing you know it became the first single of GKOs new Album VELKOMBAK.

The music video for Vacilón was filmed on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. Warm and colourful, the video follows a fisherman (the bandleader) as he lives the dream of catching a huge fish and celebrates his success in a Chiva “Colombian Bus” with the community.

lyrics

Ay ay ay
Que rico!

Esta Noche quiero cantar en la playa
y esta noche quiero bailar en la raya
hoy no quiero jueces sólo mi imaginación

Si soy de una isla o de una montaña
si vivo en un building o en una cabaña
eso ya no importa porque tengo un corazón

Pal vacilón, pal vacilón

Caminando solo por la carretera
Voy rolando lento pero a mi manera
Tomo la guitarra y se me viene esta canción

Cumbia pa la gente y pa las calaveras (x2)
Mueve la cadera que aquí llegó el vacilón
El vacilón… el vacilón

A bailar!

Vacilón pa olvidar mis penas, vacilón pa olvidarme de ellas
Vacilón por la mañanita, vacilón ay con las estrellas
Vacilón por la primavera, vacilón por la tierra entera
Vacilón por la Nochecita, vacilón por la carretera

Que tú quieres mi vacilón, ta bueno ta bueno
Que yo quiero tu vacilón, ta bueno, ta bueno (x2)
ta bueno, ta bueno (x4)

Vacilón pa olvidar mis penas
Vacilón por la carretera
Vacilón por la mañanita

Vacilón....
