ZZK Records Presents Montoya’s ‘Flor del Mar’ ft. Pahua, the second single from Montoya's upcoming album 'El Nido'. 

This is a tribute to those impossible love affairs that happen on your summer vacations, the idea of falling in love with the beauty, the context. In that tropical context that makes everything taste of salt, everything bathed in sunshine. That memory inspired me for this song, but also as a sensorial aid to get through the winter and dream about returning to that place and reliving that warm sensation. 

‘Flor del Mar’ will be released on May 24th, 2023 on ZZK Records
'El Nido' will be released on July 7th, 2023

Flor del Mar

Montoya - Flor Del Mar (ft. Pahua)

From the outback of Brazil to the favelas of Adelaide, Xanga hurls bolts of lightning at the people chosen to be his followers, leaving behind imprints of stone axe blades on the Earth's crust. 
With a collection of ambulant drum patterns and raw junk-box rhythms Xanga set the mood for a party. A real party. Forget the deep basslines and moody melodics for a second and put yourself in the hands of these propitious shamans of movement. 
Baile funk saw its rise in the international spotlight around the mid 2000's. It then faded back into the shadows not too long after... what we tend to forget that it still existed and continued to thrive, grow and develop in its homelands and even abroad…. This is where it is at now - the energy is still the same but the ideas are forward thinking whilst still honest to their roots - the roots of the party and the people that built it.

Populous is Andrea Mangia, a producer hailing from Lecce, a small city on the heel of Italy's boot. In 2003, he made his first jaunt into the music world with the album Quipo (via Morr Music). In 2005 he released Queue For Love, influenced by his reggae/hip-hop-infused surroundings (Lecce is known as Italy's Jamaica, as reggae and dancehall are extremely popular there) and in 2008 he released Drawn in Basic. Both albums were widely received by international critics, earning him a spot on the global music map. He became known for the way he seamlessly blends digital sounds with the analog warmth of soul/hip-hop/whatever else he's influenced by at the time.

Azulejos, his forthcoming release, has a South American tinge to it (and is even partly in Spanish). He moved to Lisbon, Portugal to start work on the album bringing with him only a laptop, a small MIDI keyboard, and a microphone. "Lisbon became both my studio and my muse," he says. He wandered the city collecting field recordings— from trams to people singing on street corners. He sifted through flea markets for records to use for sampling (exclusively Portuguese and South American). Populous describes Lisbon as a city 'halfway between South American soul and European modernity, African in some aspects, and dramatically melancholic." He channeled these poignant fusions into Azulejos, named for the typical tiled facades in Portugal— simultaneously bright and decaying. The album features collaborations with Nina Miranda of Smoke City and Ela Minus, among others. It's a love letter to Lisbon, and a dreamy quilt of sounds he both grew up with and heard for the first time during his influential stay in Portugal.

Kithembe’ is a roots chant of call and response praising the mystery of the Kamba drum. Brought together by Kenya’s Post Election Violence of 2007/8, Abaki Simba is a collective of Rastafarians based in Nairobi, teaching unity, peace and environmental action through music.
Kithembe uses proverbs and similes to relay a powerful journey of word and sound in daily living. The song radiates a rhythmic message from the ancestors through their poignant belief in African metaphysics.
Kithembe is a message of awareness.
Kithembe is a chant of perspective.
Kithembe is rhythm; rhythm rules the world!
Kithembe is a call to youth to remember their roots in a time of distraction and deceit.

El Rito - @djraff
La atmósfera de El Rito es hipnótica y percutiva. Se pueden identificar sonoridades de distintos lugares del mundo como samples de música hindú de los 60, percusiones afrolatinas, melodías y capas con sintetizadores que caracterizan el sonido de DJ Raff. El beat, creado con un drum machine y generadores de ruido filtrados y secuenciados, evoca el ritmo jaimaquino del dembow.

El arte de la portada y el trabajo visual sobre la música estuvo a cargo del diseñador y artista visual chileno DMNC (Francisco Meneses), quien se inspiró en la Apacheta, ofrenda que realizan los pueblos originarios de los Andes de América del Sur a la Pachamama u otras deidades, y que consiste en crear montículos de piedras colocadas en forma cónica una sobre otra. Estas ofrendas, se encuentran generalmente en las cuestas difíciles de los caminos.

DJ Raff sobre El Rito:

"He estado componiendo canciones con un eje central repetitivo y monótono, dándole siempre un pequeño giro armónico pero casi disonante al finalizar el loop, esto con el fin de crear una especie de período con un comienzo y final de tensión. A esta columna vertebral percutiva e hipnótica, le agrego algunas melodías casi siempre sobre acordes menores que me producen una especie de nostalgia pero a la vez calidez. Compuse El Rito pensando en ese trance que puede demandar esfuerzo físico, puede ser doloroso incluso, pero al final abre la cabeza y te lleva a un lugar desconocido hasta ese momento."

DMNC sobre El Rito:

"Me inspire en la Apacheta, me pareció interesante abordar lo sagrado con algo tan común como una piedra. Además el tema en sí es algo bien tribal y me genera este sentimiento ancestral. En algún punto el tema deja entrever los paisajes extensos del altiplano y lo onírico de una cultura ancestral. Me pareció interesante abordar un espacio silvestre y darle movimiento a algo que en un contexto real está quieto como es la naturaleza.

Las materialidades son claves al momento de desarrollar esta pieza gráfica tan sensible y armónica, los elementos naturales poseen esa sensibilidad que logra conectar con las personas de una forma más personal como es el sol, la naturaleza o el agua."
