"Black Pumas co-founder Adrian Quesada teams up with Puerto Rican vocalist Ileana Cabra (a.k.a. iLe) for 'Mentiras Con Cariño,' a smoky and psychedelic ballad that celebrates Latin music traditions while also modernizing them. As with his work alongside Eric Burton in Black Pumas, Quesada's production feels timeless and cinematic as he crafts a perfect backing track for Cabra's deep, alluring vocals.'Mentiras Con Cariño' opens Boleros Psicodélicos, Quesada's upcoming tribute to the tradition of Latin baladas." - Brian Burns

"On Sundays, Harmonie Bataka skated in wide curves down a suburban street on the outskirts of Ghana’s capital, Accra, empty but for a scattering of people going to church. Sundays used to be the only time the 27-year-old could skateboard, when the streets were quiet and she didn’t have to work. That was before she quit her job last year to pursue the sport full time, to the dismay of friends and family. ‘They said there were too many boys doing it, boys who were too good for me to win any competitions … but I didn’t care,’ said Bataka."
