Ricardo Y Rey is a groovy Spanish duo with a keen sense of rhythm, funk, and dance. Their fusions are laden with versatile beat lines, superimposed with complementing basses, melody, and vocals; as apparent in their latest single, ‘Necesito Verte’. They refract bouncing folk beats, fitting them into Afrobeat and Latin pop structures, forming an atmosphere of vibrant textures, patterns, percussions, and song. You’ll even glean blues and jazz undertones that light the composition from within. Listen Now!
The track is a modern diversion into tropical classics. Cast in a buoyant, yet everlasting daze, the beats are carried through by wiry guitar grooves and rhythmic double vocals. All the melodies and guitar riffs form in twos; a bouncy dual rhythm structure. Fuzzy saxophone solos slip through the dynamic ridges of the beats, and rise spectacularly into the vocals. All together, it is reminiscent of Bob Marley, Carlos Santana, and Enrique all at the same time.
Ricardo Y Rey are a fusion duo with a preference for the unique. And their music is a representation of that. Can’t pin them down. They received much acclaim for their debut collection which they have perpetuated with this single.
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
