India (i/ˈɪndiə/), officially the Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west;China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Burma and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.
Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four of the world's major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—originated here, whereas Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also helped shape the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by and brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi.
Tito Puente, (April 20, 1923 – June 1, 2000), born Ernesto Antonio Puente, was a Latin jazz and salsa musician and composer. The son of native Puerto Ricans, Ernest and Ercilia Puente, living in New York City's Spanish Harlem community, Puente is often credited as "El Rey de los Timbales" (The King of the timbales) and "The King of Latin Music". He is best known for dance-oriented mambo and Latin jazz compositions that helped keep his career going for 50 years. He and his music appear in many films such as The Mambo Kings and Fernando Trueba's Calle 54. He guest starred on several television shows including Sesame Street, The Cosby Show and The Simpsons.
Tito Puente was born on April 23, 1923, at Harlem Hospital Center in New York City. His family moved frequently, but he spent the majority of his childhood in the Spanish Harlem area of the city. Puente's father was the foreman at a razorblade factory.
As a child, he was described as hyperactive, and after neighbors complained of hearing seven-year-old Puente drumming on pots and window frames, his mother sent him to 25 cent piano lessons. By age 10, he switched to percussion, drawing influence from jazz drummer Gene Krupa. He later created a song-and-dance duo with his sister Anna in the 1930s and intended to become a dancer, but an ankle tendon injury prevented him pursuing dance as a career. When the drummer in Machito's band was drafted to the army, Puente subsequently took his place.
India (born March 9, 1969), known also as "La Princesa de la Salsa" (engl. "The Princess of Salsa"), is a singer of salsa and House music. She has been nominated for both Grammy and Latin Grammy awards.
Caballero (birth name: Linda Viera Caballero) was born in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. Her parents moved to New York City soon after her birth, and settled down in the South Bronx area of the city. They moved in with Caballero's grandmother, a woman who served as an important influence on Caballero's life. Her stage name "India" was given to Caballero by her grandmother because of her dark features and long straight black hair.
In 1985, when Caballero was 14 years old, she was a founding member of the Latin freestyle group TKA and was featured on the cover of TKA's second single, "Come Get My Love". She left shortly thereafter.
Caballero signed a record contract with Reprise/Warner Bros. Records, which planned on marketing her as the Latin version of Madonna (who recorded for sister label Sire Records). After recording the album Breaking Night, Caballero decided that she didn't want to take that route in her career.
William "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904 – April 26, 1984) was an American jazz pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer. His mother first taught him piano and he started performing in his teens. Dropping out of school, he learned to operate lights for vaudeville and improvised to accompany silent films at a local theater in his town of Red Bank, New Jersey. By 16, he increasingly played jazz piano at parties, resorts and other venues. In 1924, he went to Harlem, where his performing career expanded; he toured with groups to the major jazz cities of Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. In 1929 he joined Bennie Moten's band in Kansas City, and played with them for years, until Moten's death in 1935.
That year Basie formed his own jazz orchestra, and in 1936 took them to Chicago for a long engagement and their first recording. He led the group for almost 50 years, creating innovations like the use of two "split" tenor saxophones, emphasizing the rhythm section, riffing with a big band, using arrangers to broaden their sound, and others. Many notable musicians came to prominence under his direction, including the tenor saxophonists Lester Young and Herschel Evans, the guitarist Freddie Green, trumpeters Buck Clayton and Harry "Sweets" Edison and singers Jimmy Rushing and Joe Williams. Basie's theme songs were "One O'Clock Jump," developed in 1935 in the early days of his band, and "April In Paris".

We seem to be so alone
How it feels is nothing new
We're only going through the motions
Me and you
I'll go back home again
There's nothing left but empty rooms
We're passing through and
It can't end for us too soon
* anyday, anyday
I've got to get up and go
I wanna tear all this down
Breakaway, breakaway
Everyday seems so damn slow
I don't wanna be around
Now my baby sits and stares
The clock spins the hours away
And there's nothing left
For you or I to say
Should be out having fun
How comes we don't anymore
But we been through this
Too many times before
Here comes my coat now
Put it on my head
Before I get to city prone
I ain't no judge
I ain't no diplomat
I don't need no crystal ball
Comme le chien de monsieur Jean denivel,
Tu ne viens jamais à moi quand je t'appelle,
Qu'importe le temps, qu'emporte le vent,
Mieux vaut ton absence que ton inconséquence.
Quand par hasard dans mon lit je te rencontre,
On ne peut pas dire que tu sois pour ni que tu sois contre,
Qu'importe le temps, qu'emporte le vent,
Mieux vaut ton absence que ton impertinence.
Dans tes yeux je vois mes yeux t'en a de la chance,
Ca te donne des lueurs d'intelligence,
Qu'importe le temps, qu'emporte le vent,
Mieux vaut ton absence que ton incohérence.
En d'autres occasions je chanterais les transes
De l'amour mais aujourd'hui je m'en balance
Qu'importe le temps, qu'emporte le vent,
Mieux vaut ton absence que ton indifférence.
We were all alone
Then she bit my bone
I said, ?Let's sell the phone
Try to get away"
I knew she wasn't here
She nailed at my feet
Wet socks on the floor
But it's all the same
Last year we got sick
Doctors did the trick
Now I gotta use stick
But it's still the same
And then I saw you dry
As a cactus
Anda y Ve,
te esta esperando.
Anda y Ve,
no lo agas por mi,
que al fin y al cabo somos solo amigos.
Anda y Ve,
te veo nerviosa.
Anda Y ve,
y que sientas con el lo que en su dia tu sentias conmigo.
Pero lo dudo,
conmigo te mesias en el aire,
volavas en caballo blanco el mundo, y aquellas cosas no podran volveeeeeeer.
Y es que lo dudo,
porque asta veses me has llorado por un beso,
llorando de alegria y no de miedo,
y dudo que te pase igual con el,
igual con el.
Anda y Ve,
te esta esperando.
Anda y Ve,
no lo agas por mi,
que al fin y al cabo somos solo amigos.
Anda y Ve,
te veo nerviosa.
Anda Y ve,
y que sientas con el lo que en su dia tu sentias conmigo.
Pero lo dudo,
conmigo te mesias en el aire,
volavas en caballo blanco el mundo, y aquellas cosas no podran volveeeeer.
Y es que lo dudo,
porque asta veses me has llorado por un beso,
llorando de alegria y no de miedo,
y dudo que te pase igual con eeeel,
Pero lo dudo,
conmigo te mesias en el aire,
volavas en caballo blanco el mundo, y aquellas cosas no podran volveeeeer.
Y es que lo dudo,
porque asta veses me has llorado por un besoooo....
one dove, you're the one i've been waiting for,
through the dark for, the nightmares the lonely nights.
i was born a curling fox in a hole hiding from danger
scared of being alone.
one dove to bring me some peace.
in starlight you came from the other side to offer me mercy, mercy, mercy.
one dove, i'm the one you've been waiting for.
through your skin i am born again.
i wasn't born yesterday.
you were old and hurt. i was longing to be free.
i see the things you were too tired, you were too scared, to see.
one dove to bring me some peace.
in starlight, you came from the other side to offer me mercy, mercy, mercy. (repeat)
Anda y ve, largate con ese que te vi el otro dia,
que tu juras que el es toda tu alegria, no te lo creo,
lo haces p? que meden celos,
ense?ame que es real
y el pasado borraremos.
Anda y ve, intenta de sentir lo mismo
que tu y yo tubimos, y el amor que compartimos,
estas llena de ilusiones,
nada mas quieres pasar el tiempo
y escoder tus emociones.
Anda y ve, con ese que le diste mas lana,
arrepentida vas ha estar en la ma?ana,
extra?aras mi carisiasy te daras cuenta
que solo son tus fantasias.
Anda y ve, y dale tu cuerpo si tu quieres,
pero hay un detallito que quiero que consideres,
cundo estes feliz y me trates de olvidar
en todo lo que hagas me vas ha imaginar.
CORO
Pero lo dudo por que hasta veces me has llorado
con un beso, llorando de alegria y no de miedo,
y dudo que te pase igual con el,
igual con el.
Acabo de leer tu carta y me destroza, me presumes
que ya tienes otra cosa, otro hombre
que te sabe comprender y hace que te sientas
com una gran mujer.
Anda y ve, vete con el por que te espera,
que lindos se han de ver los dos como primavera,
pero lo dudo y eso tenlo por seguro
por que el tiempo es duro.
Anda y ve, comentale otra vez que conmigo
te sentias flotando entre las nubes,
no es para presumirte nada, me lo decias tu
con cada mirada.
Anda y ve, dile que estoy sorprendido,
por que apagas tus sentimientos como cerillo,
que sencillo era todo,
me pedias lo que querias y lo tenias.
Ande y ve, tambien dile que gritabas mi nombre,
sentias morirte, ahora dices que lo amas, lo dudo,
con mi corazon te lo juro.
CORO
(Lo dudo, no creo que con otro vayas a sentir,
lo mismo que sentias conmigo, bien sabes que a mi
hasta me has llorado con un beso, pero sabes que,
si quieres calarle, vete, pero lo dudo.)
Anda y ve, pero quiero que sepas que de regreso
no te quiero, que estas escarbando tu agujero,
por que cuando realices lo que tu hisiste,
me buscaras pero p? mi tu ya te fuiste.
Anda y ve, adios y te deso mucha suerte,
no creas que trate de detenerte, solo dije
lo que siento, hay tu si mis palabras
se las dejas al viento, ojala
y tansiquiera ayas a prendido, y sepas
apreciar lo que tenias conmigo,
se te hizo como nada, yo fui el unico presente
cuando te sentias abandonada.
Anda y ve, vete corriendo, dile que lo amas
pero conmigo en tu pensamiento,
lo bueno es que los nombres no se dicen,
pero con tanto amor los dos se concienten.
CORO
Anda y ve.
I was staring out the window
The whole time he was talking to me
It was a filthy pane of glass
I couldn't get a clear view
As he went on and on
It wasn't the outside world I could see
Just the filthy pane that I was looking through
So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me
I was never focused on just one thing
My eyes got fixed when my mind got soft
It may looked like I'm concentrated on a very clear view
But I'm as good as asleep
I bet you didn't know
It takes a lot of it away if you do
So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me
So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me
Because the fact in fact
Whatever's in front of me is covering my view
So I can't see what I'm seeing in fact
I only see what I'm looking through
I had to break the window
It just had to be it was in my way
Better that I break the window
Then forget what I had to say
So again I've done the right thing
I was never worried about that
The answer's always been in clear view
But even when the window's clean
I still can't see for the fact
That when it's clean it's so clear
I can't tell what I'm looking through
So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me
I had to break the window
It just had to be it was in my way
Better that I break the window
Then forget what I had to say
I had to break the window
It was in my way
Better that I break a window
Then forget what I had to say
Or miss what I should see
Or breaking him or her or me
