Evoking the very spirit and energy of Puerto Rico and tis beautiful people, >Ponce< pays tribute to traditional instruments like the güiro and maracas and the traditional African-originated musical stlyes of >bomba and plena< which will have you feeling like you’re getting down at a street carnival in downtown San Juan in no time! The second in Vega Records’ new series of tracks inspired by the musical landscapes of lands near and far, Louie Vega now presents a smooth, rolling track inspired by the Bahia region of Northeast Brazil, commonly referred to as the >African Soul< of Brazil and the country’s home of Afro-Brazilian culture.Powerful drums, strings, eclectic instrumentation and an electronic edge make ‘Bahia’ a rolling masterpiece. Perfect to layer that accapella over or just to bounce to, >Bahia< is as Brazilian as Samba and Carnivale, and will prove just as difficult to abstain from.
