The next single from New Regency Orchestra’s self-titled forthcoming album comes in form of Manuel Sánchez Acosta’s salsa sensation, ‘Papa Boco’. Originally written by the Dominican physician and composer, the band took inspiration from a different 1962 arrangement, made by bandleader and timbales maestro, Orlando Marin. 

For this fresh reimagining of ‘Papa Boco’, the 18-piece big band of New Regency Orchestra keeps the essence of Marin’s arrangement whilst adding their explosive flair to proceedings. An Afro-Cuban-flavoured warmth washes over you from the off, with Latin percussion and a swell of peaking horns kicking the song into gear immediately. Stepping forth, Jose Cesar’s commanding vocals give a distinctive depth to the recording that sets it apart from Marin’s version. 

With bandleader Eliane Correa on the keys and at the helm, the salsa energy is amplified through her scintillating and syncopated chords. As the track peaks, the groove swaps from 4’s to 3’s for the breakdown slipping into sensuous territory before bursting back into the dynamism of the full orchestra’s power.

A respectful yet contemporary take on a salsa gem from one of London’s most electrifying new acts.

Lyrics:

Sexy to someone
Is all I really want
Sometimes sexy to someone
Is all I really want
Nothing more nothing less of thought
Walking through the park

Sexy to someone
I think about it all
Checking out of the hotel
Or moments at a bar
Ask if I’m in a movie
No, I didn’t get the part

Sexy to somebody it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it’s just a little thing I can’t live without

Sexy is something I see in everything
Honey sticking to your hands
Sugar on the rim
Nothing more nothing less of thought
Take it all to heart

I want afterglowing
And when I call a car
Send me eyes with the knowing
That I could pull it off
Ask if I’m doing TV
No, I didn’t get the job

Sexy to somebody it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it’s just a little thing I can’t live without

(I want to be sexy to someone)
Is it too much to ask?
(I want to be sexy to someone)
Then what’s holding you back?
(I want to be sexy to someone)
It’s not too much to ask
(Sexy to someone)

Sexy to somebody it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it’s just a little thing I can’t live without

Sexy to somebody it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it’s just a little thing I can’t live without

Sexy to Someone
