The beats are really striking—it feels like the vivid sunset washing over your whole body as you ride something on water, a feeling not enough words can express. Based in the Netherlands, Daniel Veloso is a DJ and producer, and from the impressively captivating work surrendered in his latest song “Kafete,” he is undoubtedly an artist who knows what he is doing, blending technical brilliance, creativity, and passion to deliver music that is more felt and less heard. He says that “Kafete” was inspired by his visit to South Africa and its true because as you listen through, you can feel SA’s sounds influences over the electronic beat that is reminiscent of tropical house music.
And so it goes; Daniel Veloso deemed it fit to seamlessly intertwine dance and culture; the equally enchanting vocals that add to the track’s anthemic appeal have been delivered in one of Kenya’s dialects, that is Kikuyu, one of the many local dialects in the country. The delivery here is a testament to the power of music to transcend language barriers because you really don’t care what they are singing about as you are deeply immersed and engrossed in their captivating vibe and tone, going as close as you can afford to singing along as you move your body to the tune of the striking dance beats.
Beats, check! Vocals, check! Execution, check! What more could a music fan want in a song? “Kafete” is one of those electronic jams that also bridge the gap between contemporary, traditional, and cultural appeal, reaching far and wide and bringing everyone closer together—anyone who appreciates good, catchy, infectious, and danceable music.
As more and more music fans get acquainted with Daniel’s “Kafete,” I can already foresee a critically successful future for this jam, as it has all the hallmarks of a viral hit. It is one of those jams that just blows, and before you know it, everyone is seriously vibing to it all over the world…ask Sofia Nzau!
