Fonseca’s interpretation
Tropicalia It is my interpretation of our tropical essence, of our Latin essence. “We are a mixture of cultures, sounds, accents and therefore a mixture of our own tropicalism,” the 44-year-old performer said in a statement.
Our Latin American music is so eclectic, so rich and so diverse, that it seems impossible to me to think of an album with a homogeneous sound, added the musician.
According to the production, in Tropicalia Each song is a world apart: the songs were recorded and produced in a different way, with engineers of different nationalities, as well as musicians and composers from Colombia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Mexico.
This is how the album brings together tropical mixes, ranging from the sound of a patio vallenato party with the theme I sing to life even a meringue like Little piece of beach, which was entirely produced in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, with local musicians such as Janina Rosado from the famous group 4:40 -on the piano- and her husband -known as Chocolate- on the drum and the Dominican tour, among others.
Following this line of sounds, Tropicalia It also has the simple With money and without money, which represents the only collaboration of the Niche Group in its history. Under the musical production of José Aguirre, director of the orchestra, this song was recorded in Cali, Colombia, and highlights the group’s authentic salsa sound.
Besides, How lucky to have you Fonseca wrote it with the singer-songwriter Elena Rose, a melody that takes the artist to the depths of his own sound.
“And how not to have inside that world Tropicalia a ranchera melody, a genre that Fonseca feels so much his own and that he loves to sing. The stubbornness “It is also part of this album and has the production of Ricardo Torres along with his traditional mariachi,” highlighted the Colombian team.
The new record production by successful artists such as You are my dream, I send you flowers y Brookcan be heard now on all musical platforms.
