about

A synth-styled cumbia rhythm atop a layer of congas, claves, and bongos, Ritual merges contemporary digitalism with quintessential Latinx soundscapes. Distorted vocals and lyrics discuss topics of modern day love, ancestry, and tradition. Meant to act as an electronic lullaby, this track is simple yet dynamic, fluid and eccentric. A love song, Louie composed this piece in a moment of complete adoration.

Ay
Que high
Estoy contigo
Eyes

Por tanto años tenemos
Parecemos vampiros
Dame contenido mami
Hazlo pa’ la sangre y nuestros ancestros
Tienes un cuerpo que yo busco
Vamos y hacemos un a

Te escribí esta canción
Y me hizo llorar

Te escribí esta canción
Y me hizo llorar
Así que me bañé con las lágrimas
Y agregué un ritmo de cumbia con mis salpicaduras
