Playing the KUTX morning show Wednesday, KLRU Bloody Mary Morning on Thursday, and also SXSanJose. It was originally two Mexico ex-pats now out of L.A. Do512's bio says:
"Reyna Tropical" is Fabi Reyna and Sumohair, they met for the first time in Nashville, Tennessee on behalf of Red Bull Music Academy's Bass Camp at Bonnaroo. They got into the studio the same day they met, recorded a track that would later inspire "Reyna Tropical".
Now in L.A. but according to this Rolling Stone article:
Reyna is trusting herself and her own creative vision more than ever. In July of 2022, Sumo passed away suddenly at the age of 42. “The thing that helped me continue to move forward is to just continue to be me. People definitely lose themselves after something like this. And I feel like I did, too. Your whole system gets jumbled. You’re like, ‘What happened, where am I? Who am I?’ But grief isn’t just sad. It’s not just pain, it’s also creation. So I think grief is a powerful energy,” Reyna says.
Of the music it says: " They have embodied the word tropical to its very core, with breezy beats, upbeat guitar riffs, and psychedelic electro-cumbia sounds."
"Como Fuego" is fun. Good dance music. So is "Cartagena"
Here is one of the new ones. She wrote it after Sumo's death as a tribute to him.
