We’re all for these songs that breathe new life into cultural classics.
Today, the Italian DJ and producer Skylin3 makes it back to the spotlight with a new release on Glasgow Underground. And what a comeback tune, to be honest! Following the success of his earlier track ‘The Way I Are’ with label head Kevin McKay, he’s now joined forces with his fellow mate Raffa FL and Colombian duo Cumbiafrica to put a fresh spin on the Gypsy Kings 1987 hit ‘Bamboléo‘.
The original track is basically a part of human history as of today, given the fact that the whole world knows it, maybe not by name, but by its infectious Flamenco rhythm. This iconic characteristic was not looked over by the team behind today’s release, and the revamped track merges Skylin3’s Tech House rhythms with Flamenco guitar riffs.
‘Bamboléo’
You’re a menace if you can resist the urge to dance to this track. It blends the best of two genres that are already quite irresistible by definition, and the clash of these two forces results in a fresh cut for the dancefloor. Imagine the DJ dropping this in the middle of a high-energy set, and you magically know the rhythm, and the chorus, and start singing along. Yup, the track has that very potential.
“I produced ‘Bamboléo’ one year ago but I still remember the process and it feels like it was just yesterday. I would find the right blend between club and radio vibes, to make sure that everyone can listen to it every day, with Latin and summer sounds and a nice groove!“
