Cuba’s first female electronic duo, Zahira Sánchez and Paula Fernández – alias PAUZA – is back with another irresistible and rhythmic new cut, ‘Se Vende’, featuring 2018 “Best Alternative Music Album” Latin Grammy nominated rapper and lyricist Telmary. The ever-growing Havana-based DJ/producers effortlessly blend traditional Latin flavors and contemporary rap in their latest offering.
‘Se Vende’ is arriving a couple of months following the success of their early 2019 single, ‘Carajillo’. Originally released via Casete, the track is slated to relaunch on M.A.N.D.Y and Booka Shade’s coveted Berlin-based label, Get Physical, in May. ‘Se Vende’ sees PAUZA incorporate a timeless and delightfully uplifting Cuban sound that stays true to their roots. The duo showcases why they’re a force to be reckoned with their re-interpretation of the cultural current of House by infusing pure Latin rhythms. Telmary’s swift and direct Spanish lyrics wash seductively over a downtempo conga infused beat that brings the track to life. A flourishing trumpet arrangement adds to the magnetism and flamboyance of the cut, as Telmary overlays her infectious vocals in a charming fusion of the old and new.
“This song represents how we live every day in Cuba; it is a lifestyle that we wanted to attribute a soundtrack to.”
– PAUZA
As PAUZA’s discography grows and their musical technicalities sharpen with their ability to seamlessly cross genres whilst retaining their Cuban flare, there’s no doubt the future is bright for this young pair.
