Phrase related to a pop song

Question

Can someone help with this phrase? (Zona la Gozadera) I think it is related to a song in popular music? I heard it on a latino radio station locally in Florida! Thankyou

Answer 1

The song is by a group formed in Havana (Cuba) called Gente De Zona. Their songs are really catchy and the videos appear to have been filmed in Cuba. The title of one of their songs is la gozadera meaning party time. Marc Antony features but his bits of the video weren't filmed in Cuba. I don't know if it is colloquial to Cuba but clearly comes from gozar as Feliz says.

I will add a link when I am on my laptop but it is a great song and video!

Hello David,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum

Thank you for completing your basic profile this is very helpful so I have given you a vote

You asked:

The first thing I thought of was the verb gozar =to enjoy

as in .the construcion:.gozar de algo = to enjoy something

( According to the same dictionary, the verb can have sexual connations if the transltive verb form is used so you may be better using the intransitive form)

I found this sentence in my Oxford English/ SpanishDictionry under gozadera

¡Qué gozadera la que teníamos en la fiesta! = We had such fun or such a laugh at the party! (olloq) The party was a riot! (colloq)

I believe your sentence would mean something like "Party Zone"

I can't help wondering if it should really be: La zona gozadera =The party /fun zone but perhaps it is a more colloquial rendering (version) of it ..perhaps I was being too logical lol

I am an intermediate Spanish student, and could be mistaken in my interpretation of it, so you may wish to wait to see what the native speakers say

I hope this helps

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Right or wrong. My first thought was exactly the same. I think you nailed it! - gringojrf, Jan 15, 2016

Thank you very much, Gringo :) Let;s hope the native agree and confirm this :) - FELIZ77, Jan 15, 2016

My vote says I agree, but it is not a native vote. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 15, 2016

Thank you very much, Bosque :) The natives seem to have avoided this question I do't know why - FELIZ77, Jan 15, 2016

Tu respuesta es correcta Feliz77. Es una palabra que se usa mucho en el caribe latinoaméricano, sin embargo se entendería en cualquier parte. - leumas11, Jan 16, 2016

Answer 3

Thankyou both as your answers make sense to me in the context of the song which referred to a celebration of the latin culture here in the united states I think? I also would like to hear from any native speakers who may know. There is much more to laungage then just words

Gracias a ustedes como sus respuestas tienen sentido para mí ahora en el contexto de la canción que se referencia a una celebración de la cultura latina aquí en los estados. ¿Pienso? También, me gustaría saber de cualquier hablantes desde los nativos que pueden añadir a este.

What would you like to know? - leumas11, Jan 16, 2016

thankyou for your response to the question. I heard the phrase on the radio here and did not know what it meant. (Zona La Gozadera) - 00cc0117, Jan 16, 2016

Gracias por su respuesta a la pregunta. He oído la frase en la radio aquí y no sabía lo que signficaba (Zona La Gozadera)? - 00cc0117, Jan 16, 2016

Oh I see. Well, Feliz answered your query correctly. :D - leumas11, Jan 16, 2016
