Five years have passed since the release of ‘Return’, the album that put Buscabulla on the map. Since then, the Porricño duo composed of Raquel Berrios and Luis Alfredo del Valle has appeared in ‘A summer without you’ by Bad Bunny, the most listened album in the history of Spotify.
‘It loved itself,’ the new Busbulla album has come out this week, and proposes a refined and intimate return of the group of tropical synth-pop of the group. His concept is romantic: “In the album we explore the difficulties not only of our own romantic relationship, but of romantic relationships in general,” explains the duo.
The album musically travels “Latin and tropical genres of the past seen from a contemporary perspective”, and that offers the last single, ‘Miraverahí’, the song of today.
‘Miraverahí’ is a kind of cosmic cumbia. The keyboards capture an ethereal and melancholic tropical atmosphere, as the end of summer, and both the melody and the interpretation of Raquel transmit a feeling of emotional wear. But the landscape of ‘Miraverahí’ is still sweet and wonderful, as a dream.
‘Miraverahí’ is one of the slopes of ‘was like that’ that portray a relationship at a complicated moment that has gone from illusion to suspicion. The threat of breakdown crosses the song in phrases like “And if I leave and never come back”, and lines like “You are always looking, to the wrong place, you continue to focus on, in something imaginary” delineate a relationship marked by misunderstandings and doubts, but still creates art from pain.
