Kuma Pop has an incredible talent for combining the traditional rhythms, harmonies, and melodies of Flamenco with electronic elements. The resulting fusion on “Amanecer” is a truly original interpretation that is guaranteed to ignite your passion for dance.
Furthermore, the beats are so irresistible that it’s certain you won’t be able to resist moving your feet to the music.
What provides a counterbalance to the synthesizers and drum machines is the use of samples obtained from an old Andalucian vinyl record. In particular, the highlight of this eclectic mix is undoubtedly the intensely passionate Spanish vocals.
The raw, emotional delivery will transport you to another world and leave you breathless. Without question, the music video accompanying this excellent single can produce the same effect if you watch it.
Believe me when I say that the entire composition has completely captivated me, making it Kuma Pop’s best work to date. Interestingly enough, his previous release, “Por Dentro,” also features sound textures that are very similar and just as impressive.
Kuma Pop is a Spanish producer, teacher, and father who is professionally based between two countries – Spain and the USA.
Above all, he continues to demonstrate his extraordinary vision for the Flamenco fusion which defies boundaries, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the hypnotic groove.
