Miami’s reggae rock / Latin roots sextet play the Design District with Uma Galera in support

Miami, FL – January 13, 2015 – Bachaco leaf-cutting ants make their moundy homes in the Venezuelan rainforest and are often used by the native Indians to make a picanteor hot aphrodisiac. Miami’s version, the hot and spicy reggae rock / Latin roots groupBachaco, known nationally and internationally for its bilingual party-with-a-conscience sound, will 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 soul / folk / ska outfit Uma Galera. The show is open to 21 and over and doors open at 10 p.m.; cover is $10. The single will become available digitally on 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.  (more…)
