Andando en el barrio por Rikkilarouge 2021 released on the Spinnup InGrooves Universal Music Group disco con la Luna guiarme
this is a video for salsa song of mine that I did called Andando en el Barrio. In English, it means walking in the neighborhood. This was a song that I did on my last album in Spanish called con La luna Guiarme , which means with the moon to guide me. The song itself was from when I went walking in Spanish Harlem one day. I went in order to try to find this mural that was done . No such but I song that you have today. The album and song was released on spin up record label that used to be on universal music group. There’s another version of this there’s another video for this song, but I prefer this one instead. This is one of the music videos that my first music videos that I started directing myself. There are other music videos that I’ve directed and in the future, I’ll be posting them so you guys can see. The concept for the music video and the concept for itself go together beautifully hand-in-hand. The other video version for this song I’m not a big fan of it because I was really in bad shape when I recorded that one. But this one is a heck of a lot better. I’m not saying the other one isn’t good. I’m just saying I was out of shape when I shot it, though just being honest here. I really directing music videos. It’s another outlet of creativity that I found that I could actually do with success. there are other tracks that I recall that I directed just I guess you could say drafts and stuff but no. But for in the neighborhood I went with a concept of one day I was in my car and I just to recording the stores in the city streets as we were passing and it fit right there along with the music so very well. I later back at it it came out really really well. This version of the video I’m a lot more happier this version than I am with the other one for obvious reasons I don’t look that good in the other one that’s mainly a reasonable vanity but still that’s a good reason not to want that video over this one. This video was comes from footage. I took when I went to New York City and other surrounding areas too. Like there’s a mural of Tito Puente in it. I also saw mural of Celia Cruz in it that I saw that I just wanted to add in the music video too Just a shout out and tribute to two Latin music greats.

Cayo Coco the video, the song, and the review
Grammy-nominated artist re-releases culturally significant single ‘Cayo Coco’ MIAMI, FL – In 2013, Miami-based artist Rikki La Rouge dropped an album called “San Antonio” through Interscope Digital Distribution and Universal Music Group that went on to be a first round nomination ballot album for the 57th Grammy Awards 1st round nomination ballot. She was on the ballot alongside artists such as the Salsa Giants, a salsa supergroup featuring one of Rikki’s main influences Willy Chirino. Selena is the other primary influence of Rikki La Rouge. The album gained notoriety around the world for its anti-Castro sentimentalities and “Free Cuba” mantra that echos across all the songs on the album. The single “Cayo Coco” received the most praise. And now six years later, Rikki La Rouge is re-releasing the song during a time when she said the world needs to be reminded of the themes that were presented in that song.

Rikki La Rouge cover of Dead or Alive You spin me right round
have that song you spin me and I always liked it and so I decided to do mariachi version of . Now the music is a little louder than some of the vocals, but it really is a decently recorded track to say the least. everything I was going for as far as song goes really is there and it makes sense and it hits the mark and everything so why I decided to do an article and post it here too. This song is also in my X-rated cover playlist on YouTube. even though the song sounds like it does there really is something there and I’m not just saying that I’m the one that produced it performed it and everything else I mean, I know that I rushed it a little bit but still what I was going for is really still there in the demo itself so you can see that I had if you see if I had better recording equipment I would’ve been able to make it a hell of a lot better than what I did, but you learned to make do and stuff but every recording equipment I’ve ever used always produced really good stuff for me.

The J Balvin remix contest of his song Nuestro Momento
Some time ago J Balvin and some liquor 🥃 company held a contest to remix his song Nuestra Momento. I was one of the contestants i remixed a version of the track too. My track is what I consider to be Samba electronica. What you hear with my vocals and his vocal track is call and response. I never found out who wound up winning the competition. I did win as we all did by getting the chance to at least have it heard and also just to remix a track and say that I have a version of it myself.
