Sparrow & Barbossa (Swiss Bryan Coletta and Uruguayan Emiliano Haberli) are a globetrotting DJ and production duo that are true lovers of ethnic and lost cultures and are devoted to transmitting this legacy through electronic music. As the world’s dance floors opened back up after lockdown, the duo were struck by how their music resonated with fans. “People told us how our music went with them through depression and through COVID, and it helped them,” they said. These emotional exchanges became the creative spark for their sophomore longplayer, Réciprocité.
 
The album consists of 14 tracks that showcase Sparrow & Barbossa’s vast range and musical maturity. Amongst the organic and electronic Latin house sounds is a dizzying and intoxicating adventure through time zones, dance floors, and generations. “We travel and gather so much energy from people. When they listen to our music and come to events it gives us energy and we wanted to take that energy and transmit it back through the album,” says Bryan (Sparrow). “This is our way of saying thank you to fans.”
 
The duo’s love of global influences manifests in collaborations on 12 of the album’s tracks, including appearances from artists based in Spain, Cuba, Turkey, Rwanda, and beyond. These include inspired performances by singer Maria de Moraes, who is the daughter of Brazilian bossa nova legend Vinicius de Moraes, Lion King musical singer Phindile Ndlovu, flamenco singer Osaba, Elektrofon, Turkish pop singer Kaan Akalin, Kenyan Afro-House singer-songwriter and performer Idd Aziz, Zimbabwean singer Vuyo Brown, and Turkish flutist Eyüpcan Açıkpazu.
 
Hector Romero, A&R Director at Orianna, first encountered Sparrow & Barbossa in 2018, and has watched their meteoric rise to underground cult-like stardom in that short period of time. “Earlier this year the boys shared a sketch of the album and once I heard it, I knew it was a great fit for Orianna. Réciprocitéshowcases some of their most intelligent and well-crafted compositions to date and is a testament to their evolution as artists. Myself, Dusko Justic, and the entire team are proud to represent them and assist them in getting to their next phase as live performing artists.” 
 
The release of Réciprocité follows three single drops from the album earlier this year, including “Condenao” with Spanish salsero vocalist and producer G.Zamora, “Bien Buena” with Cuban vocalist Eribertho Cruz, “Vagabundo” with flamenco vocalist and guitarist Chico Castillo (known as “The Gypsy”), along with what is arguably Sparrow & Barbossa’s sexiest tune to date, the June 1st release of “After Saturday Night”.

The production duo, formed by Swiss Bryan Coletta and Uruguayan Emiliano Haberli, explores the Afro house influences and Caribbean rhythms that capture the seductive allure of Cuba. “Bien Buena” celebrates the sounds of percussion and dance, opening with a traditional rumba groove. Cruz’s impressive vocals are front and center from the start, as he sings, “Que rica esa rumbera.”
 
Sparrow & Barbossa showcase their love and agility with Latin rhythm patterns, romanced with the bright sounds of piano, maracas, clave, and shakers. “Bien Buena” switches gear and travels to another realm with a pulsating electronic groove, then circles back to layer Cruz’s vocals and the more traditional music instruments with an Afro jazz-tinged twist for the song's finale. “Many thanks to Sparrow & Barbossa for including me in this production,” says Cruz. “It was a huge pleasure for me to be in it.”
 
“Bien Buena” is the second track from Sparrow & Barbossa’s upcoming sophomore album, Réciprocité, and follows the 17th March digital release of  “Condenao” – a fun and festive club tune that captures the essence of Latin House music, with Salsa style piano chords and a fantastic vocal delivery by Marbella-based singer and frequent collaborator, G.Zamora.
 
The DJ and production duo brings their diverse and captivating sounds to venues across Latin America, Albania, and Ibiza throughout Spring 2023.

“Vagabundo'' opens with Castillo displaying his mastery of flamenco guitar, introducing the song’s protagonist, a gypsy wanderer in the deep throes of a romantic obsession. The track explores Spain’s rich tradition of flamenco music and dance, with Sparrow & Barbossa fusing the genre’s iconic rhythmic hand clapping with chugging hypnotic beats. The result is an intoxicating dance floor destroyer.

The production duo enlisted acclaimed London-based music video producer Yasha Malekzad to bring the track to life in visual form. Using Madrid as the backdrop, a mysterious mirror masked figure sets off in the night, casting supernatural spells as he dances along the city's busy thoroughfares and quiet passages. Through his journey, he becomes aware of the pain and suffering surrounding him, absorbing it as his own. Using the power of flamenco, he transforms this pain into pure love, releasing it back into the world. 

Malekzad’s creative goal was to honor the vibe of the artists while also complementing the track's timbre. Looking to incorporate an element of speed into the video to match the song’s intensity inspired Sparrow & Barbossa’s nighttime car scene.

The video director explained, “Sparrow & Barbossa and Chico were exceptionally kind and gracious, and our shoot day was an absolute blast. There was plenty of laughter, and the set had a great energy, making it one of the most laid-back filming experiences I've ever had.”

“Vagabundo” is the third release from Sparrow & Barbossa’s upcoming sophomore album, Réciprocité. The duo continues their busy tour schedule in May and June with DJ and live performances in Miami, NYC, Switzerland, Cyprus, and Spain.

FLAGRANT DRVMS, BREAKFAST N VEGAS, AND DĒLIAN RELEASE INDIE DANCE INSPIRED COVER OF MANÁ’S NINETIES CLASSIC 
“OYE MI AMOR”
*****

MADRID – 27 SEPTEMBER 2024 - Colombian New Yorkers Flagrant Drvms and BREAKFAST N VEGAS team up with vocalist Dēlian on an indie-dance inspired cover of legendary Latin Rock  superstars Maná’s “Oye Mi Amor”. The track drops worldwide across digital platforms via Sony Latin imprint Orianna on Friday, 27 September.

Often cohabitating the same music studio in Medellin, Colombia, Flagrant Drvms and Breakfast N Vegas are no strangers to exchanging creative ideas. In fact, both artists share a common member, DJ Yonny, further adding to the fluidity of their musical relationships. It was in that studio that Breakfast N Vegas shared an early mock up cover of Maná’s “Oye Mi Amor”. The demo captured the ears of both groups, inspiring them to take a collaborative deep dive into transforming the track for a new millenia. 

“Oye Mi Amor” was originally released by legendary Mexican pop rock band Maná on their 1992 hit album, ‘¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños?’. That album went on to sell over 3M copies and became the best-selling Spanish-language rock album of all time. 

Flagrant Drvms and Breakfast N Vegas knew that covering a song that has transcended cultures across Latin America and become a staple in every Latin DJ's set would be a monumental task. “Whenever the original song comes on you can rest assured that almost every Latin person in that room has committed the lyrics to memory,” the artists said collectively, adding, “the original is ferocious, energetic, and liberating!”
With Flagrant Drvms bringing their unique blend of ancestral Latin sounds and dance music and Breakfast N Vegas tapping into their soundscapes of electronic, Latin, Afro, dance, trap and urban, the artists breathed new life and meaning to the classic. 
With the addition of San Diego-based vocalist Dēlian, who effortlessly and urgently sings the legendary lyrics, “Oye mi amor / No me digas que no,” they deliver a new twist on this eternal story of unrequited love, reinventing the tone and energy and transforming the cut with deep grooving house and indie freshness.

The weather might be getting colder, but the dance floor is heating up with the release of “Fiesta”, a collaborative track produced by world renowned Mexican producer and DJ Mijangos, Colombian/American electronic artist Steven Castrillon aka Discolombia, and Colombian producer David King DJ, and featuring vocals by Colombian hip hop artist Mary Hellen. 

Mijangos recently set dance music charts ablaze with his 20th anniversary rework of the 2004 Latin tribal house track “Coração”, by Jerry Ropero & Denis The Menace Pres. Sabor Feat. Jaqueline. On “Fiesta”, Mijangos, Discolombia, and David King DJ set forth in producing a playful high energy disco house groove that feels nostalgic and contemporary at the same time. The producers infused the track with bright synths, bouncing bass, and percussive vibrations.

Discolombia put pen to paper capturing the romance between music and the dance floor in the lyrics, writing, “Ven, comenzo la fiesta, hasta que amanezca asi que vamos a bailar / Si, comenzo la rumba, la piesta retumba y yo no puedo parar.” He reached out to Mary Hellen, a long time friend, to cut the vocals and bring the lyrics to life. Together, the Latin dance music supergroup produced an electrifying and fun tune that will light up every party.

Tu Si Sabes Quererme (Michel Cleis Downtempo Remix)

Berlin brought together the paths of Ulises (Argentina), MonoAbe (Chile) and Manu Ela (Chile) who together created the new release on Sony’s ORIANNA imprint: “Ella Sabia”.
 
A hybrid song that combines slow electronic music with the ancestral sounds of Latin America.
 
Different layers combining Manu Ela’s capacity for creating by using her voice, nature, and the beauty of simplicity as sources. 

MonoAbe adding mysticism and groove by putting together an interesting mixture of percussion, that shows his profound knowledge of Southern American tribe drumming, plus Ulises’ subtle strings and synth atmospheres, build the multilayered piece ELLA SABÍA which translates as She Knew.
 
A soothing invitation for your body, mind and soul to let go and dance.
 
An inner journey that transmits the serenity and the allure of a girl who can live in peace, a girl who can wander around with no fear, with no regrets, certain of what she wants.
 
A song that is meant to evoke the acknowledgement of the feminine power. How valuable it is to stand together and empower one another.
 
A song that reminds us that together women can be stronger and better.

Falso Amor

On DJ Fudge’s debut for Orianna, the Frenchman brings a decidedly Latin dance cut to the label. “Sin Freno” explodes out of the gate with high energy tropical vibes that channel the vibrant horns and heartbeat of Afro Cuban salsa with the Latin electronic mosaic heard in the legendary nightclubs across the Balearic islands and Catalan coastline.
 
The track features prominent vocals championing the themes of resilience, empowerment and self confidence. “Lo que digan, lo que inventen / no me frena, sigo enfrente / Lo que digan, lo que inventen / yo no paro, sigo fuerte,” the chorus defiantly sings. “Sin Freno” is a reminder to chase your dreams, ignore the distractions, and live life to the fullest.
