Released: 2024
Santana’s hit “Guajira”, released on his third album “Santana III” in 1971, is here reshaped by Stefano “S-Tone Inc.” Tirone with his unmistakable sound.
Originally a simple Cuban cha cha that revolves around a funky groove, “Guajira” is enhanced by S-Tone Inc. with a new harmonic chord progression that, with the addition of minimal electronic hints, and a disco rhythm reminiscent of El Coco transform it into a modern Latin gem.
Manuela Ravaglioli and German Leguizamon share the vocal duties, recreating the blend of the original version but with a more sensual feel.
Released on May 17th 2024, “Guajira” is the first single in a series that will lead to the release of a new S-Tone Inc. album scheduled for Autumn 2024.
