Watch: Bomba Estéreo Celebrates Beachside Romance in “Somos Dos” Video

Colombian electro-cumbia duo Bomba Estéreo presents gorgeous new visuals for “Somos Dos,” a romantic, kizomba-infused tune from their fourth studio album, Amanecer .

“It’s a love song about a couple that meets on a beach and now they’re in love. It’s got a very breezy, Caribbean vibe to it,” says Liliana, whose tropical Soy Banana Girl swimwear line is also prominently product-placed.

Shot near vocalist Liliana Saumet ‘s hometown of Santa Marta, the video is as much a love poem to the Caribbean coastal town as it is a celebration of a relationship between two people.

“I like to involve my city in my music because I feel they are one,” Liliana says .

Considered one of the best Latin albums of 2015, Amanecer is Bomba Estéreo’s first release through a major label, Sony Music Latin, and their first time working with an outside producer, Ricky Reed ( Jason Derulo ‘s “Wiggle” and Pitbull ‘s “Fireball” ).

The LP’s first single is “Fiesta,” a Baranquilla Carnival anthem that incorporates Kwaito, an African genre of music fusing hip-hop, house, reggae, and traditional African rhythms.

“It’s a schizophrenic track,” says bassist Simón Mejía . “It’s like you’re in one party, and then all of sudden, you get thrown into this other party. It’s two worlds told through one story. I think it pretty much sums up the album — a fusion of Colombian carnivals and folkloric rhythms like cumbia and champeta with the world of electronic music; beats and bass and synths, which people listen to all over the world, regardless of language.”
