The São Paulo band Buena Onda Reggae Club, a name that has stood out on the national instrumental scene, is releasing its newest single today. ?A Ilha? creates a connection between elements of Northeastern regional music and the sound of English reggae with its Jamaican roots.
A Ilha? is one of the most danceable songs on the new album, which will be released in early 2020. It has a very different feel to anything we've done before, and is ideal for playing on the dancefloors," explains Victor Fão, the band's trombonist.
The song is on the group's next album, ?Buena Onda Reggae Club II?. Victor Rice, one of the most sought-after producers of Jamaican music in the world and who has worked with names such as Elza Soares - in 2017 Victor won a Latin Grammy for his mix of A Mulher do Fim do Mundo - Curumim, Anelis Assumpção and Bixiga 70, is responsible for the musical production of the single and the album.
