Guitarra Riddim
by SANTO (CH)
About this track
“Guitarra Riddim” is a high-enrgy club track born from the fusion of Cape Verdean sounds and global club culture. Produced by SANTO and Soulely, two DJ/producers renowned for their remixes played around the world, this single marks a bold step into original music. Driven by a hypnotic looping guitar and explosive brass lines reminiscent of island carnival processions, the track runs at 160 BPM, designed for pure movement and sweat. Its rhythm blends the percussive patterns of Funaná with the rolling textures of Kawina, creating a groove that is both infectious and deeply rooted in cultural identity. More than just a banger, “Guitarra Riddim” is a personal artistic statement, merging SANTO’s Cape Verdean rhythmic DNA with the European sonic influences that shaped him. Following a string of viral remixes, this is his first official single: Afro-diasporic, melodic, and built for global dancefloors.
