Music news

The producer nominated for Grammy and founding member of Eiffel 65, Gabry Pontethe year has begun in the best possible way. Not only has he been able to give life to an exceptional official anthem (Tutta l'alia) For the Sanremo Festival, the largest celebration of music and arts in Italy (where the Italian representative comes to the Eurovision Festival) but has just launched a hit called to fight for the throne of the summer theme: Exotic.

This is the first time that the DJ and producer is inspired by the rich rhythms of Latin beats. The song, which collects the witness of his previous single (Born to love now Together with Sean Paul and Natti Natasha), it is an original proposal that attempts to take advantage of the sensuality of the Latin to dominate the lists and dance clues.

Gabry Ponte enters this new solo sound despite the fact that his last compositions had always been very well surrounded (Mockinbird With Tiesto and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike; I have a pirate (save me) With Steve Aoki …). Although perhaps its best presentation card, beyond the spectacular production, the catchy rhythm and the power and energy it transmits is its presence in the maximum audience program of Spain the island of temptations.
