The
Cuban bufo theatre for instance is a form of comedy, ribald and satirical, with
stock figures coping the types that might be found anywhere in the country,
Bufo had its root around 1800-1815 as an older form, tonadilla started to
vanish from Havana;
Una mulata me ha
muerto!
Y no prenden a esa
mulata?
Como ha de quedar
hombre vivo
si no prenden a quien
mata!
La mulata es como el
pan;
se deber como
caliente,
que en dejandola
enfriar
ni el diablo le mete
el diente!
(A mulata's done for
me!
What's more, they
don't arrest her!
How can any man live?
If they don't take
this killer
A mulatta is like
fresh bread
You gotta eat it
while it's hot
If you leave it till
it's cool
Even the devil can't get a
bite!
