Réunion’s band Sly Sugar takes us on a ride with the title track of the EP, “Vida Loka.” It showcases the band’s sound as a good match for their strong reggae and dub foundation. Sly Sugar blows your mind with nonstop jungle beats and high, distorted guitar riffs that take the song to places you never thought possible.

The band can seamlessly mix styles because that’s who they are, and each verse and chorus crosses borders, allowing people to feel the joy of connection through rhythm, melody, and words. The song was recorded by MDC Production, and mixing was done by Serial P and Damien Coutrot from Baco Records. The basslines are deep, the percussion is sharp, and the guitars are lively.

Distribution by Inouïe will enable many people around the world who are always looking for new music to discover this significant project. “Vida Loka” is a party for people from diverse cultures to come together, a testament to the band’s adventurous spirit, and an invitation to let loose and enjoy music without limits.
