Strangers (Do You Remember) [feat. Yas Cepeda]

Soldera's journey in the realm of House has captivated dancers and listeners globally through the years. In his "Baianá & Baião" EP, the Brazilian artist's pursuit of deeper, more soulful grooves and traditional instrumentals feature unique reinterpretations of two Barbatuques' timeless classics. In "Baianá," Soldera seamlessly blends the original's infectious rhythms with crisp electronic nuances, creating a harmonious bridge between past and future, the material world and its cosmic dreams. Exuding the nurturing and unwavering vitality of its namesake, "Baianá" marries lush percussion and dreamy soundscapes, as the Barbatuques' uplifting vocals and body-woven instrumentals gleam amidst a vibrant tapestry of enigmatic synths and provocative basslines. Soldera continues to display his seductive prowess with "Baião Afrodisiaco." Igniting the fiery spirit of "Baião Destempero," this rendition celebrates the resilience of its ancestors while paying homage to their enduring culture and artistry. With climactic rhythms, fervent melodies, and tactile instrumentals, this magnetic finale taps into the essence of humanity in music, resonating with the complex emotions that make art everlasting.
