PA QUE ME QUIERAS, is a cornerstone track from the album 'Volver al Mañana'. I’ve fused the classic cha-cha groove with the textures of old-school R&B and the drive of hip-hop. Built upon this, I’ve layered jazz harmonies and traditional call-and-response structures, anchored by Ed Calle’s tenor sax and the powerful textures of a Nigerian gospel vocal group. Vocals feature my own performance in Spanish, with Kebeaux leading the English section. Composed and arranged by Luchito Muñoz, Pa Que Me Quieras It is an architectural fusion connecting the Afrolatin and African American diasporas.
"Beso de un Minuto" positions the bolero as the ultimate global expression of Hispanic romanticism. This track represents the deliberate decision made alongside songwriter Jim Donato to integrate a bolero , serving as a profound tribute to the most sublime and universal side of Hispanic music heritage.
The bolero dares to convey what other contemporary genres shy away from, preserving the essential power of subtlety and intellectual intimacy—qualities far bolder and more resonant than any explicit lyric found in today's trending songs. "Beso de un Minuto" embodies pure vintage heritage, stemming from a composition by Gumersindo Donato (Jim's father: 1929–1988). Infusing these global sounds with deep personal lineage, the arrangement and vocal delivery carry the enduring influence of my own father (1915–2012) in every chord, phrase, motif, capturing the timeless elegance of how a true bolero must be interpreted on a global stage.
