Farruko comes with high octane music

The moments when he accompanied his paternal grandfather in his business negotiations as owner of a gas station in Bayamón always ensured that he received all the love, indulgence and teachings he received from someone he considers a very important figure in his life. , relived.

With the intention of honoring his memory, the urban exponent decided to call Farruko Premium to the double launch of songs he presented this week. It’s about the simple with sensual lyrics Oh mama, with the collaboration of urban artist Myke Towers, and the theme of heartbreak Xoxa, with the Dominican interpreter El Alfa.

“My grandfather, may he rest in peace, had a gas pump,” he said, referring to Efraín Reyes, former president of the Gasoline Retailers Association, who died in 2010. “Unfortunately, he took his own life,” the reggaeton said. . and referred to the emotional crisis he was going through. “He got into a lot of debt and almost lost what that gas station was,” he said of the property that, he explained, has been in dispute with the bank and the heirs for years.

‘Grandpa with me was something else. I was his first grandson and I was always with him. He spent more time with me than with my own parents, ”he said wistfully. “I was there to the last and a lot of things I couldn’t understand because he was something else with me.”

The singer was about 15 years old when the businessman passed away. With the title of his new album, which he plans to release in the coming months, he wants to pay tribute to him. Hence, this first phase which includes two themes is called Premium.

“I bet a lot on what my job is, which is high performance, high octane,” he insisted. “This is a test, like a gasoline that we are going to give people before the album arrives, that will be released anytime and will be 167, that’s where grandfather’s gas station is and the main road in Bayamón, where I grew up ”.

Typical of Farruko is that the habit of experimenting with rhythm fusions is embodied in both promotional singles.

Oh mama is a afrobeat It’s not reggaeton, and it’s recorded with a live saxophone, which gives it a really great touch of sensuality. Musically it is a bit different ”, he described with pleasure. “El Alfa’s is more of a resentment theme and has three rhythm changes in one song. Start with bolero, switch to reggaeton and switch to one dembow Dominican ”, said the singer, announcing that the album will include themes such as salsa, mambo, ballads and trap.

Under his plans, he plans to act.

Something comes out. We have several offers on the table. It’s like a challenge and I like it, ”he admitted enthusiastically about the process of giving life to a character.

“I’m also there to see if I make a clothing line,” he announced as part of his business interests, including a record label. “I have several signed artists,” emphasized Carlos Efraín Reyes Rosado, who was awarded twice in the recent edition of Premio Lo Nuestro in the categories collaboration of the year-pop and song of the year-urban / pop for success If you tell me yes with Reik and Camilo. This achievement, as revealed, is not a decisive step in boosting his music career.

“A statue does not define what you are or your work. It’s not something I’m waiting for. Disgust. If I win, so be it, but I don’t work for the prizes ”.
