As a strictly homemade project, his music relies 100% on digital sounds, emulating the organic and latin feeling of his albums Cosmos Tropicale (2018) and Atlas (2019). Following the massive success of La Niña del Volcán, alongside Polocorp — DJ from Polo & Pan — YoSoyMatt keeps tightening his style whilst exploring different genres and motifs, decorating the music with powerful characters living in sweet stories, turning back our attention into an exquisite audiobook.
As one of the leaders of the next generation artists (Warner Music Group), YoSoyMatt is pushing the boundaries of regional latin american sounds into the future of the electronic agenda and as a musical advocate of the sounds inspired by the ocean, Once upon the Sea (2021) came at the right time. Joining forces with Ian Urbina, this EP will surely reach the hearts of those who wish to take a deeper look into the water.
His latest release is a rework of Desta French’s “Ojos Negros”, where a clash of electronic beats, Hip-Hop jams and Latin Soul, collide. You will dance like nobody’s watching…
El Sabor Del Viejo Mar
YoSoyMatt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Las hermosas golondrinas que se cuelgan de listones hacia el mar
En este mar, el oleaje sabe a azúcar
Has probado su dulzura natural
De este mar,
Los cangrejos de canela y de vainilla hacen coral
En este mar, en este mar
Recoge frutos y los lleva hacia otra isla tropical
El mar, el mar, todo el mundo sabe a viejo mar
Baila, canta, las olas te desvisten, vente a nadar
Marina llegó a otra isla, ella vino a visitar
Los perfumes de las frutas, contenidas en el viento de este mar
De este mar, haz sembrado troncos de fragancia
Es lindo el incienso, de este mar, este mar
Las palmeras zigzagean, despidiendo citronella a la mar
Este mar, recoge aromas y los lleva a otra isla tropical
El mar
El mar, el mar, todo el mundo sabe a viejo mar
Baila, canta, las olas te desvisten, vente a nadar
El mar, el mar todo el mundo sabe a este viejo mar
El mar, todo el mundo sabe a este viejo mar
The lyrics of "El Sabor Del Viejo Mar" by YoSoyMatt describe the beauty of the ocean and its surroundings. The singer talks about Marina's visit to the sandy seaside and how she admires the beautiful swallows that hang on ribbons towards the sea. The waves of the ocean taste like sugar and the singer urges the listeners to sample its natural sweetness. The crabs of cinnamon and vanilla color make up the coral which is unique to this area. The singer describes how this ocean becomes the conduit for transporting fruits to tropical regions ultimately making the ocean the lifeblood of these regions.
Marina is on another island, where she admires the scent of fruit contained in the wind of the sea. The fragrance of this sea is so strong it can even make a seed into a fragrant tree. The zigzagging palmeras and citronella bring out the essence of the ocean in its full glory. The ocean not only has a sweet taste but this sweet scent is something that can never be replicated. The singer concludes that this ocean is something special and unique that has no equal.
