Songs We Love: Reyna Tropical, 'Niña'
Emerging artists Fabi Reyna and producer Sumohair team up as Reyna Tropical to release a self-titled EP full of surprises.
This week's release of the debut EP from Reyna Tropical marks the addition of "lead vocalist" to the artist's string of titles (which also includes skilled, the world's only magazine dedicated to women guitarists and bassists). Formed in collaboration with Los Angeles-based DJ and producer Nectali Diaz, better known by the psyudeonym of , Reyna Tropical emerged after the duo met during a Red Bull Music Academy camp for breakthrough musicians. By pairing bright guitar riffs and meticulously layered samples with lulling lyricism, Reyna and Diaz meld the best of both worlds to create a tropical sound as complex and expansive as their shared experiences of bicultural Latinidad.
