You gotta get the Brugal or Barcelo out for this one. ROMO.
My cousins always used to tell me that I needed to chill the fuck out with my Bachata obsession. Indeed, it’s an understatement to say that I’m obsessive about Bachata. The stories, sentiment, arrangement, rawness, sincerity, dance - everything. I fucking love it. The essence of it all leads to 1 thing alone - bitterness.
Most of the Bachateros don’t even have a great voice, it’s their sincerity that makes it and especially in the older tracks it’s noticeable. I have a lot of favorite Bachateros, but for this one I focused on 1 in particular - Luis Segura. The big boss. That’s the dude right there and
since I can’t sing and he will be setting the atmosphere, the guitar will take the honors.
Mixing in Psychedelic and Lo Fi influences with a hint of Dub and Jose Jose. Yeah JOSE MOTHERFUCKING JOSE!
"Nu Ga Je Danse" is one of my favorite tracks ever. One of the Bubbling House classics, best showcasing the era's style/sampling. De Schuurman's sound finally getting long overdue recognition! Selegna Records
We've guided Nazar's in developing his sound. Keywords: Justice / Kuduro / Glitch / Angolan War. Contrasting this, his beautiful ambient works. 3 EP's and this masterpiece was conceived. Fantastic! Selegna Records
