The celebrated Chicago-based family trio, Marisol la Brava & a Flor de Peil is out with their latest single “Cumbia del Extraterrestre”. Written and sung by the youngest member of the group Sage La Bravita, this song is an ocean of sonic elements. A blend of a multitude of genres, this track with the core of traditional cumbia rhythms and modern-sounding synth-inspired music, is an ode to unrequited love. The song narrates a story of a love unattainable and out of reach. The vocals of Sage La Bravita take the limelight in this dreamy composition and she also showcases her ability to blend English and Spanish lyrics seamlessly. As the cumbia rhythm, the synth and the bass come together for a playful groove, the occasional sound effects create a surreal soundscape which resembles space. The instrumentation is carefully arranged and produced so as to complement the vibrant vocals and give colour to this bittersweet cumbia.

Even as the music reminds you of traditional Latin music with its own inspired twist, what will catch you completely off guard is the English rap verse emerging in the middle of the song. Highly regarded for their passionate performances and their signature of blending traditional Latin music with contemporary influences, Marisol La Braca & A Flor de Piel brings in yet another star to the rise. The latest single marks the entry of the youngest member of the group embracing her Latin roots and combining innovative and modern expressions of music.
