Farruko comes with “high octane” music

The moments when he accompanied his paternal grandfather in his business negotiations as the owner of a gas station in Bayamón, always caused him to relive all the love, pampering and teachings he received from someone he considers a very important figure in his life.

With the intention of honoring his memory, the urban exponent Farruko decided to call Premium to the double launch of songs that he presented this week. It’s about the simple with sensual lyrics Oh mama, with the collaboration of the 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 gasoline pump,” he said, referring to Efraín Reyes, former president of the Gasoline Retailers Association, who died in 2010. “Unfortunately he took his own life,” said the reggaeton, and did reference to the emotional crisis he was going through. “He got into a lot of debt and almost lost what that gas station was,” he shared about the property that, he explained, has been in litigation 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 my own parents, “he said wistfully. “I was there until the last and many things I could not 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 launch in the coming months, he wishes to pay tribute to him. Therefore, this initial phase that covers two themes called Premium.

“I bet a lot on what my job is, which is high performance, high octane,” he said firmly. “This is a test, like a gasoline that we are going to pour people before the album arrives, which comes out at any time and will be called 167, which is where grandfather’s gas pump is and the main highway in Bayamón, where I grew up ”.

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

“Oh mama is a afrobeat It is not reggaeton, and it was recorded with a live saxophone, which gives it a very big touch of sensuality. Musically it is something else ”, he described with pleasure. “El Alfa’s is more of a theme of spite and has three changes of rhythms in a song. Start with bolero, switch to reggaeton and switch to a dembow Dominican ”, said the vocalist, and announced that the album will have themes of salsa, mambo, ballads and trap, among others.

Among his plans he intends to get into acting.

“Something is coming out there. We have several offerings on the table. It’s like a challenge and I like it ”, he confessed with enthusiasm 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, which include a record label. “I have several signed artists,” highlighted Carlos Efraín Reyes Rosado, 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, does not represent a decisive step to boost his musical career.

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