Juan’s new single ‘Manejando Por Pando‘ pays homage to the classic songwriting style of candombe, an Afro-Uruguayan musical and dance tradition with origins in Montevideo during the eighteenth century.

The track embraces the groove of milongón, a slower form of candombe, that allows for introspective storytelling while maintaining a hypnotic pulse, and it captures the tension between change and continuity. 

Instrumentally, the song blends acoustic and electronic textures in a way that echoes the sonic experimentation of the 1970s and 1980s Uruguayan scene.

Of the single, Juan says it:

“…works as an introduction to Montevidean music. The song is built over a drum ensemble playing candombe. The lyrics of the song come from an improvisation during the Wandering Rebel recording sessions. This song sets a bridge between today and the classic candombe songs from Montevideo. We aimed to pay respect to the history and tradition of this music and also push the genre a bit further into the future. There are hints to traditional sounds and melodies but also a new way of interpreting the same old music style. One luv to candombe music!!
