Farruko comes with “high octane” music

The moments when he accompanied his paternal grandfather in his commercial negotiations as the owner of a gas station in Bayamón, determined him to always relive all the love, pampering and teachings he received from someone he considers a very important in his life.

With the intention of honoring his memory, the urban exponent Farruko decided to call Premium at the double release of the songs he presented this week. It’s about the simple with sensual lyrics Oh mom, with the collaboration of urban artist Myke Towers, and the theme of tearing the heart Xoxa, with the Dominican singer El Alfa.

“My grandfather, to rest in peace, had a petrol pump,” he said, referring to Efraín Reyes, a former president of the Gasoline Merchants Association, who died in 2010. “Unfortunately, he took his own life.” “, Said the reggaeton, and referred to the emotional crisis he was going through. “He took a lot of debt and almost lost what that gas station was,” he shared about the property, which, he explained, has been in dispute with the bank and heirs for years.

“My grandfather and I were different. I was his first nephew and I was always with him. He spent more time with me than my parents, “he said doubtfully.” I’ve been there until recently and a lot of things I couldn’t understand, because he was something else with me. “

The singer was about 15 years old when the businessman passed away. With the title of his new album, which he intends to release in the coming months, he wants to pay tribute to him. Therefore, this initial phase covering two topics called Premium.

“I rely a lot on my job, which is high performance, high octane,” he said firmly. “This is a test, like a gasoline that we are going to pour before the arrival of the album, which comes out at any time and will be called 167, where my grandfather’s petrol station is located and the main highway in Bayamón, where I grew up ”.

Typical of Farruko, the habit of experiencing rhythmic fusions is embodied in both promotional singles.

“Oh mom is a afrobeat It is not reggaeton and was recorded with a live saxophone, which gives it a very high note of sensuality. Musically it is something else “, he described with pleasure. “El Alfa’s is more of a disgusting theme and has three changes of rhythm in a song. Start with bolero, switch to reggaeton and switch to a dembow Dominican ”, said the vocalist and announced that the album will have themes of salsa, mambo, ballads and trap, among others.

Among his plans he intends to enter acting.

“Something is coming out there. We have several offers on the table. It’s like a challenge and I like it “, he enthusiastically confessed about the process of giving life to a character.

“I’m also there to see if I can make a clothing line,” he announced as part of his business interests, which include a record label. “I have a few signed artists,” said Carlos Efraín Reyes Rosado, who has been awarded twice in the recent edition of the Lo Nuestro Award in the collaboration categories of the year-pop and the song of the year-urban / pop for success. If you tell me yes with Reik and Camilo. This achievement, as he revealed, is not a decisive step to boost his musical career.

“A statuette does not define what you are or your work. It’s not something I’m waiting for. I do not like. If I win, so be it, but I don’t work for prizes “.
