A pesar del calor infernal y algunas pestes que trae el verano.. creo que todavía lo considero como mi estación favorita del año... no se.. me trae felicidad tener días mas largos llenos de sol y poder disfrutar de la naturaleza en todo su apogeo. Todavía es verano y es por eso que hay que seguir en el veraneo mode y sudar hasta la ultima gota y para eso.. este mixtape veraniego llamado "SONOSOLAR"

Este fabuloso mixtape fue creado por la super jeva Buscabulla.."Sonosolar es un vueltón por Piñones en acido donde temas viejos caribeños y experimentos sonoros nuevos se combinan en un viaje que evoca playas perdidas y galaxias tropicales." Dice la dj, artista, diseñadora puertorriqueña radicada en Brooklyn; Raquel Berrios aka Buscabulla.

El proyecto de Buscabulla es una influencia de la música latina de los sesenta, setenta y ochenta, como la salsa gorda, tropicalia, nueva trova cubana y el rock argentino, incorporando sonidos electrónicos, análogos y progresivos. Su último tema esta incluido en ese super mix titulado "Sono" y esta bien cabrón.. Que lo disfruten :)

Aside from the infernal heat and bad smells that accompany the summer time, I think it still holds its place as my favorite season of the year. I don't know, it brings me happiness having longer days drenched in sun and being able to enjoy nature at it's fullest. It's still summer and that's why we gotta keep our summer mode on and sweat every last drop...and what better way than with this summer mixtape: "SONOSOLAR".

This mix was created by the super babe Buscabulla..."Sonosolar is a ride around Piñones, on acid, where old caribbean rhythms and sonorous experiments are combined to evoke a journey through lost beaches and tropical galaxies" says the DJ, artist, singer-songwriter, designer native from Puerto Rico and based in Brooklyn, Raquel Berrios, aka Buscabulla.

Buscabulla is a project influenced by the latin music of the sixties, seventies and eighties, like Salsa "Gorda", Tropicalia, Cuban Nueva Trova, and Argentinian Rock, incorporating electronic and progressive sounds. Her latest single "Sono" is in this mixtape and it's fucking awesome. 

Enjoy :)

☼ TROPICALEO ☼

This one's for the beach bums, the "everything with coconut", the sandal wearers, the oyster eaters, the moon gazers, the night time skinny dippers, the pool party crashers, the salty beach hair babes and the one's that have been wondering: when's the summer gonna start??

I'm more than excited with this summer lookbook! A simple day at the beach that became a beach shoot with my gorgeous sister and my lover/photographer. We shot everything in Puerto Rico between Piñones and one of my favorite girl's grandma's beach house… Mabel. It had been a while since we visited the island. Every time I go I ask myself what am I doing in New York? Then I remember: work!  I think Piñones is one of my favorite places in the metropolitan area because it makes me feel i'm not in the metro, it has the nicest beaches in the area and the most sinful and delicious food you'll ever find. 

So for this summer lookbook we went super tropical..with vibrant colors, mixed patterns, soft fabrics, a super breezy loose fit with super shorty shorts. We are loving the oversized look. Who wants to be all tight on a hot summer day!? Kind of effortless but sexy at the same time. Hope you like it :) and if you're going to Puerto Rico feel free to ask for recommendations! We know super cool places which we'll share with you soon.

About the bathing suits.. They are Pan Dulce and they belonged to my aunt Liyi. She used to be a Miss Hawaiian Tropic back in the days so you can imagine ;) She gave them to my sister and she won't let them go. Which means they're not for sale.. sorry ladies. I'll keep my eyes open to see if I can find some of those. 


We'll be uploading more stuff soon! Follow us on Instagram @coyotenegro and FB so you can get thing first.
