Hot blooded sounds from Colombian DJ/producer Argüello together with latin pop phenomenon Bacilos, as their teamup celebrates the timeless appeal of Bacilos’ classic tune “Caraluna,” this time revamped into a warm, melancholic deep house anthem. Featuring the band’s gentle melodies and sultry vocal lines, this new version adds a smooth afro house rhythm, with subtle percussion and tasty rhythms, courtesy of Argüello’s trademark production style. Still a nostalgic favorite across Latin America and Spanish-speaking communities, this “Caraluna Argü” is bound to get everyone’s hearts beating all over again – out now on Spinnin’ Records.
It’s quite the gathering taking place here. Widely acclaimed DJ/producer Argüello has been building a strong and varied catalogue with tracks for quite some years already, causing him to become the first Colombian electronic artist on the Billboard charts, as well as receiving a nomination for a Latin Grammy Award.
Argüello’s song “Daydream” went viral on different platforms, and with 2018 seeing him release his first tunes in Spanish, he quickly struck successful collabs with artists like Feid, Irie Kingz, Martina La Peligrosa, Andy Rivera and Alkilados.
Now, he continues his triumphal path, adding his unique style and fresh sound to a massive Latin American hit by an equally timeless band, Bacilos.
Formed back in the 90’s, Bacilos counts as a pan-American group that developed a multi-cultural sound, blending Latin folklore with rock and pop. Songs like “Caraluna,” “Tabaco y Chanel,” “Mi Primer Millón,” “Por Hacerme el Bueno” and “Perderme Contigo” have become classics, bringing together generations of fans at their concerts.
Effectively, the band reached critical acclaim, winning five Latin Grammy’s, touring Latin America, US and Europe, while still residing in the most biggest playlists, counting millions of monthly listeners on Spotify.
2002’s “Caraluna” is known as one of Bacilos’ most recognized and beloved songs, causing the eponymous album to win a Latin Grammy, counting 680 million streams on Spotify as we speak. It was covered by several artists and continues to be a favorite on Latin music playlists.
“Caraluna Argü” paints a wonderful new picture on the melodies of this illustrious hit. Setting off with a gentle afro house groove, the original’s warm guitar lines are replaced by catchy piano chords, turning the rhythm into a sultry, deep house infused vibe. In this guise, the remarkable vocals from the original gain a whole new character, perfectly aligning with the smooth club atmosphere Argüello is aiming for. Which leads to a classic reborn. The vocal chorus still brings out magic, and together with those sentimental melodies and sweet rhythmic finds, you get a melancholic dance tune that’s sure to touch both heart and soul – ready to wow audiences across the globe all over again.
