Sama (US) and Siamand – LLEGO AL SUR ft. Çantamarta & Tony Grox [Gotta Move Records]

Sama (US) and Siamand release their new single "LLEGO AL SUR," featuring Çantamarta and Tony Grox, a smooth Latin house single arriving by way of Insomniac's Gotta Move label.

Originally born in Baghdad, Sama (US) is a producer based in Washington D.C.known for weaving a multicultural tapestry of global house music from Middle Eastern, African and European influences. Based in Berlin, Siamand is an Iranian sound engineer who has worked with many acclaimed musicians and songwriters from his heritage country, while using his expertise to create vibrant chill house productions.

Based around the talents of Cantamarta—a three-piece outfit with Spanish and Colombian-Venezuelan roots, blending Latin, urban, and tropical elements to touch on themes of love and migration—and Spanish sensation Tony Grox, the track sees the producers adding an Afro-Latin touch to song. "Llego Al Sur" features a forlorn Spanish vocal, describing how trips down "South" no longer hit the same now that their person is out of the picture. Its saudade is captured by soft hand percussion syncopation, pensive guitar picking, and tresillo synth rhythms that add color to the melancholic groove
