AMOR Y PASION RELEASE CD BESA, BESA ARRIVED AT STORES ON MAY 9,2000. * Los Angeles, CA: April 24, 2000 — SoundMex / Sony Discos recording artist Amor y Pasion will release its new CD, BESA, BESA, a mix of cumbia and flamenco rhythms with a contemporary pop sound, on May 9, 2000. Featuring sisters Diana and Dalila Mu&241;oz, Amor y Pasion represents the next generation of international pop and cumbia music. "Our goal was to incorporate sounds that have influenced us all of our lives. We wanted to do something different from what was already being played. Cumbia and flamenco rhythms are very passionate and danceable and have always been close to our hearts," says Diana. Blending traditional musical influences from Spain and Mexico, including the flamenco guitar, the accordion, and captivating Latin rhythms, Amor y Pasion creates music that transcends cultural and generational boundaries and generates a sound that is uniquely their own. * Produced by Grammy award winner Joel Guzman, whose artist roster includes Los Lobos, Los Super 7 and Rick Trevi&241;o, BESA, BESA delivers sounds that are exotic and energetic, a style affiliated with the classic flamenco guitar. Guzman's strength lies in his ability to blend Amor y Pasion's lush lyricism and romantic songs with modern instrumentation such as the bass, electric guitar, keyboards and percussions along with contemporary musical influences such as rock and pop.
Originating from Mexico and raised in the United States, Amor y Pasion attribute its vocal style to its musical upbringing. "We have been singing all of our lives. Harmonizing comes very natural to us, and we are able to mesh our voices to create a sound that exudes passion and strength," says Dalila. Overall, BESA, BESA combines Amor y Pasion's sweet and sultry voices with contemporary and traditional instrumentation to create a lively music experience. |
