A unique fusion of jazzy vibes, Afro,Latin, Balearica and Electronica, this 6 minute journey is a harmonious blend of uplifting Tropical vibes against a sunset soundtrack guided by the sultry vocal timbre of Heidi and the colourful trumpet phrasing of Eikel Venegas. Conveying a range of different emotions that encapsulates its wide spectrum of eclecticism “Enamoreme” further establishes Imagenes Recordings as the UK’s leading UK latin-fusion imprint. With an Instrumental also included, it’s the perfect track to enjoy at summer bars, rooftops, beach sessions, or for those special early morning moments.
