As a musician, there are few things more satisfying than seeing your hard work pay off with the release of a new song and seeing it connect with listeners and fans in a big way. Whether it's a hit single or a deep cut, every new track brings with it the possibility of new fans, new opportunities, and new triumphs. The excitement and satisfaction of knowing that people are enjoying your work is hard to beat. But when that new song starts to generate buzz beyond just your immediate circle of fans, that's when you know you're onto something really special. If you're lucky, those triumphs can come in all shapes and sizes - from a glowing review on a great blog to a spot on a popular playlist.
Recently, our new song 'Rumba Guajira' (released February 24, 2023 on Nganga Records) has been experiencing a wave of success that's been both thrilling and humbling. We've been fortunate enough to experience a number of exciting wins, including being interviewed on the radio, receiving positive reviews from bloggers across the globe, and getting added to a number of popular playlists. Here are just a few of the highlights:

Radio play and interview:
One of the most exciting things that's happened since our new song ‘Rumba Guajira’ was released was getting the chance to be interviewed on the radio. Recently Ulises was lucky enough to have a chat with our friend Luis Pomales on WPKN’s ‘La Esquina Latina,’ a popular community FM radio station that covers the Connecticut and Long Island area. It was amazing to be able to talk to Luis about our music, our creative process, and the history of Afro-Cuban music. The interview gave us the opportunity to connect with listeners who might not have heard our music before, and it was a great chance to get some new exposure with a new audience.
