Bachaco leaf-cutting ants make their moundy homes in the Venezuelan rainforest and are often used by the native Indians to make a picante or hot aphrodisiac. Miami s version, the hot and spicy reggae rock / Latin roots group Bachaco, known nationally and internationally for its bilingual party-with-a-conscience sound, did celebrate the release of a new single called “Sunfire Girl” on Saturday, January 30th, 2015 at The Stage Miami (170 NE 38th Street, Miami, FL 33137) with local reggae / soul / folk / ska outfits The Medicine Box, Uma Galera and Guest DJ: Lance O from Kulcha Shok. The single it is available digitally since Tuesday, January 27th.
The band s new single is an ode to a lady with a “cool vibe and a sweet smile” croons lead singer, Venezuelan Eddy Morillo. Musically, the band s reggae chops have never sounded better, featuring dance hall-styled vocals with just the right amount of reverb drench and effects, an excellent mix of skanking and arpeggio guitars, tight, low-end bass lines, Caribbean beach-tinged horn lines – all held together by a solid, if not steady back beat. “Sometimes she s sweet, sometimes she s sour, but I ll take her any day, any hour, girl you got the power over me,” proclaims Jamaican lead guitarist and vocalist Matt Jacquette. This "Sunfire Girl" is so hot she literally burns through currency with a lighter.
The track follows a summer 2014 single called “Good Morning,” which will be included along with “Sunfire Girl” on a forthcoming, full-length reggae music release called Sunfire and subsequent tour this spring. The band is also comprised of Morillo’s brother Jose on bass, Domingo Medina on drums (Venezuela), AlexanderCruz (Puerto Rican) on trombone and Alexander Coombs (of Cuban / Jamaican descent) on trumpet. The band s diversity is just one factor that makes its sound unique.
Add to the mix an eight-year track record of writing and recording in addition to hundreds of shows throughout the U.S. and Canada plus Latin America and you get a seasoned, but still extremely vibrant and relevant Latin / Caribbean fusion band.
