After 12 years of non-stop in the Music Business Los Rakas is ready to release their next album Manes De Negocio due out May 10th. The group’s second full-length LP and their first in three years has been pre-empted with featured releases of Los Rakas on projects by Nina Sky, “Passion” and Mr. Vegas, “Killa Body”.
The majority of the album was street sounds of Latinx Trap, however, once they teamed with Adrian L. Miller (Delicious Vinyl Island) hesuggested they should integrate all of the Raka sounds which include: Tropical/Trap/Reggaeton.
Manes de Negocio is colorful with moments that soar such great heights without slighting. Los Rakas weaves through sounds and paints their neighborhood a flagrant rainbow, which boasts confidence equally serene and solid. Guest appearing Amara La Negra, Jhoni The Voice, I-Majesty, Tree Thomas, CRSB, Youngin Floe, Blaka, and Abriana.
Their most currently released single of the album “Devorame” (Devour Me) a sultry reggaeton banger, featuring Amara La Negra (Love and Hip Hop: Miami) had its world premiere via Ebro Darden’s Beats1 radio show, followed by an exclusive premiere of the “Devorame” video on Remezcla. The pairing of Los Rakas and Amara La Negra marks the initial collaboration between two acts who are leading the way for Afro-Caribbean representation in Latin music, unapologetically encouraging Latinos and Latinas to rep their heritage. “Amara La Negra is an icon for AfroLatinas,” says Raka Dun. “We love her style and how she reps the culture. Los Rakas and Amara together are just plain obvious, it had to happen.”
Manes De Negocio combines the Los Rakas’ already eclectic musical blend with a sound that’s firmly in step with today’s exploding Latin Trap movement. “Even though it’s a trend now, we’ve been doing this,” says Raka Dun.
Los Rakas are currently on a US and Latin American Tour promoting their new album. Some of their shows include performances in New York, Houston, Miami, Los Angeles, Colombia and their hometown of Panama.
Album will be available iTunes and all National and International digital platforms.
ABOUT LOS RAKAS
Hailing from Oakland by way of Panama, cousins Raka Rich and Raka Dun formed Los Rakas over a decade ago, inspired by their experiences growing up between cultures. Deriving their name from rakataka, a term used in Panama to brand someone poor, the duo flipped the slur into a badge of honor and lifestyle, inspiring peers across Latin America and the Caribbean to take up the Raka mantle. Their deep catalog of mixtapes and official releaseshave earned them endorsements from tastemakers and icons ranging from Diplo to Blondie. They met their managers, Adrian L. Miller (Anderson. Paak, Mereba) and Orlando Aguillen (The Baka Boyz, Slick), who in turn connected the Delicious Vinyl Island partnership.
