Cayo Coco the video, the song, and the review
Grammy-nominated artist re-releases culturally significant single ‘Cayo Coco’ MIAMI, FL – In 2013, Miami-based artist Rikki La Rouge dropped an album called “San Antonio” through Interscope Digital Distribution and Universal Music Group that went on to be a first round nomination ballot album for the 57th Grammy Awards 1st round nomination ballot. She was on the ballot alongside artists such as the Salsa Giants, a salsa supergroup featuring one of Rikki’s main influences Willy Chirino. Selena is the other primary influence of Rikki La Rouge. The album gained notoriety around the world for its anti-Castro sentimentalities and “Free Cuba” mantra that echos across all the songs on the album. The single “Cayo Coco” received the most praise. And now six years later, Rikki La Rouge is re-releasing the song during a time when she said the world needs to be reminded of the themes that were presented in that song.

Rikki La Rouge cover of Dead or Alive You spin me right round
have that song you spin me and I always liked it and so I decided to do mariachi version of . Now the music is a little louder than some of the vocals, but it really is a decently recorded track to say the least. everything I was going for as far as song goes really is there and it makes sense and it hits the mark and everything so why I decided to do an article and post it here too. This song is also in my X-rated cover playlist on YouTube. even though the song sounds like it does there really is something there and I’m not just saying that I’m the one that produced it performed it and everything else I mean, I know that I rushed it a little bit but still what I was going for is really still there in the demo itself so you can see that I had if you see if I had better recording equipment I would’ve been able to make it a hell of a lot better than what I did, but you learned to make do and stuff but every recording equipment I’ve ever used always produced really good stuff for me.

The J Balvin remix contest of his song Nuestro Momento
Some time ago J Balvin and some liquor 🥃 company held a contest to remix his song Nuestra Momento. I was one of the contestants i remixed a version of the track too. My track is what I consider to be Samba electronica. What you hear with my vocals and his vocal track is call and response. I never found out who wound up winning the competition. I did win as we all did by getting the chance to at least have it heard and also just to remix a track and say that I have a version of it myself.

Every Rose 🌹 Has its thorn by Poison covered by Rikki La Rouge
all of the cover songs that you hear here are on my YouTube playlist called X-rated . link to get to the playlist on I always had this great idea that the power metal the hair, metal ballad by Poison every rose has its thorn would make a great salsa song and so I went ahead and did it and what you hear in the track is my demo version of the salsa version in my cover of every rose has its thorn by poison. I just wanted to see pretty good. It’s a little fast yes but if I slowed it down, I realize that would sound a hell of a lot but it really sounds good at the it really sounds good. I must say.
