MP3: Corvin Baez - "Me Perteneces"

Corvin Baez (aka Nacotheque’s Marcelo Cunning) unveils a new song following the nostalgic disco burner “El Dia Mas Triste de Mi Vida.” This time, he steps out of the electro-dance orbital, injecting the attractive sounds of the Caribbean into the mix. Celso Piña was the first thing that came to mind when I heard the first minute of “Me Perteneces,” it carries the Vallenato feel without making it traditional, in fact, it sounds more like Mexico’s adoptive forms of Vallenato and Cumbia. The song goes on into an extremely catchy Reggaeton where every hook is kicked at an intensifying rate. Its sexually-driven aesthetics are as kitsch as those tropical songs by Afrodita.

We’ve featured some mixtapes by New York-based party monster Nacotheque in the past, not only are Marcelo and Amylulita amazing as music selectors, they’re true tastemakers, influencing everything from the Latino nightlife, to this blog. Marcelo Cunning is now launching his music project under the name Corvin Baez, releasing a haunting, glamorous and overall hot tune titled “El Dia Mas Triste de Mi Vida” (The Saddest Day of My Life). He’s embracing that 90s disco-electro-pop he’s clearly in love with, adding an enduring intermission by a deep, almost painful voice that goes from intimidating to robotic. It would seem as if the song was celebrating a last dance before death… “dejame abrazarte una vez mas.” I don’t if I dreamed this, but I remember someone mentioning he was making music with Juan Son, that sounds attractive.
