Summer, the heat, the sand, moments that get burnt into your memory. That’s the essence of music to me. Camilo S\u00e9ptimo’s Navegantes.<\/em><\/p>\n

This came out in 2019 but I feel the need to go back and wallow in those moments because I don’t know they are coming back any time soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navegantes… navigating through love, pain, life – which is what the lyrics are mostly about. \u00a0But they are full of feeling, so very evocative as only (mexican) spanish can be in its sounds. \u00a0They have such a rich taste when you sing along.<\/p>\n

The music is exquisite. 80s textures mixed with synthwave vibes (which, thinking about it, actually might come from a very similar place!), smooth production and high fidelity recording. Great musicianship, the lines of guitarist\u00a0Erik Vazquez are oh so tastefully understated yet filling a lot of space. The writing is very consistent and, compared to previous outings, the band has managed to dial down the latino sugar in the melodies to a level of more universal appeal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My go-to soundtrack for chakras realignment. Peace & B Wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
