Dakota Harvey Soaked in soul and primitive in nature, Soltron dip, slip, slide, and dive with this amazing collection of Latin muzik. From hard hitting, bombastic drums to the harmonious melodies, this album kicks and drips and I lick it all up. GRACIAS Soltron! Favorite track: Échame Luz.

Échame Luz 04:37
Track 1 ECHAME LUZ ​ Voy buscando de tu calorsito Ya tu no estas y yo me siento bien chiquitito Cae la noche todo esta obscurito Pero si tu me echas de tu luz Te voy a alcanzar bien rapidito (Coro) Echame luz Para poder verte en la obscuridad No te vayas mami Quedate un ratito mas (2x) Estoy perdido en tu recuerdo Quiero olvidarte pero tu sabes muy bien que no puedo Iluminame negra dejate de cuentos Que por mas que tu no estes Tu sigues viviendo en mis pensamientos

Track 2 ARROZ CON GANDULES Para mami y papi lo hice todo bien Fui a la escuela y hasta me gradue Ahora que yo acabe no hay trabajo pa mi Como puedo sobrevivir (Coro) Arroz con gandules Como lo hace mi mama Arroz con gandules Y no falta nada mas Nada mas (3x) Este mundo ya no tiene compasion ni amor Se llena mas y mas con hambre y dolor Yo lo que tengo es mi musica y mi Amistad Y el arroz rico que me hace mi mama (Coro)

En La Rumba 05:52
Track 3 EN LA RUMBA​ Un dia fui caminando por el barrio Cuando se escuchan los tonos por la calle Me acorde que me habian contado Que habia un rumbero de cuba recien llegado Que toca la rumba con mucho sentimiento Que toca bata y es hijo de Obatalá Me dijeron que vive a la vuelta y le toque en la puerta Lo conoci y me enseño de la rumba y de la clave Despues de años de estudiar me atrevo a meter la mano En esta rumba que no es mía pero la llevo siempre en el corazón (Coro) En la rumba lo encontre Y desde entonces me puse pa la conga (Coro) Me preparé Yo estudié Me gradué de la escuela de rumberos con honores Y ya tu sabes como es

Track 4 I LIVE WHERE YOU VACATION En la islita del encanto se vive la buena vida (2x) Hay manjares por todos lados y gente bien linda (2x) Todos los días son un fiestón con ron y cerveza fría (2x) Anda pásane la mía que nos vamos pal callejón (2x) I live where you vacation Tu sabes que aquí te la pasas mejor que en tu casa Tu vienes de pasada I live where you vacation I live where you vacation Puerto Rico's the nation Despite colonial status We the baddest When it comes to havin fun we number one Rompe ese coco And pour some rum. Hey! Vamos pal Yunque Vamos pa Vieques Pa la bahía bioluminiscente Agüita fresca gente caliente Llega el wikén así que pendiente Arroz que carne hay métele el diente Alegría bomba es Puro y consciente Despierta boricua protege lo tuyo Pon a trabajar todo ese orgullo Basta ya de tanto plomo y cemento Deja brillar tu luz desde adentro Positive vibration tropical persuasion Oooh! I live where you vacation I live where you vacation (4x)

Track 5 MUEVE LA CINTURA I don't wanna be the one addicted to you I know I'm not the only one but neither are you and now that it's come to this what are we to do? It's you over me or me over you Mueve la cintura mami bate chocolate tu rico sabor me sabe a chocolate bate, bate tu rico chocolate Your body calls to me at midnight I don’t know if this is wrong or right but I know one thing I'll be there when you need and now that it's come to this what are we to do? It's you over me or me over you Mujer tu me tienes adicto a la manera que meneas con el ritmo cuando primero yo te vi en la disco que por poco me desmallo ahi mismo pita pita a la palomita bonita piel canela con pelo color arena

Stand Up! 05:00
Track 6 STAND UP Stand up against the threat of big bussiness a war over the mission money versus tradition Stand Up! We still here me and my tribe Tryin to thrive While outside two worlds collide This is a war over the mission This ain't no fiction This some bay shit Callin out gentrification We dealin with the situation Post-modern colonization Local families they displacin’ We still paper chasin while payin the rent Not makin sense Playin a game that we didn't invent Dollars and cents A real-world game of chess We in so deep you can feel the stress

Track 7 STRIKE AS ONE Stay Up, Stay Up! Soltron we strike as one faster than the speed of light brighter than the sun fall Babylon a new chapter's begun ushering a new sound together we become Soltron we strike as one faster than the speed of light brighter than the sun fall Babylon a new chapter's begun ushering a new sound rooted in the drum rooted in the drum! Thrust in the midst of a violent storm a world in Chaos planet Earth torn a new being upon the universe was formed a constellation of twelve bright stars was born Feel the force in your soul that's the Tronic absorb the blast triple brass that's cyclonic EWI transforms the breath, bionic Soltron rooted in the drum supersonic
