is a duet comprised of singer/songwriter/producer, Luis Mitre, from Mexico City and singer/songwriter, Andie Sandoval, from Culiacan, Sinaloa. The emerging duo is considered one of the most promising acts in Latin Alternative music in the US and Mexico. Their music is a unique mix of traditional Mexican sounds tied with Spaghetti Western, Cumbia, World music and a splash of EDM that work together to transcend the boundaries of language and culture.
MITRE is currently working on the final touches of their upcoming album titled ‘El Callejón del Beso’, which is a concept album that recounts the traditions, tales and ancient legends of Latin American countries intertwined with lyrics that speak of different facets of love.

Tugging at our heartstrings in their very unique way,
MITRE
, recently premiered a visually striking music video for their heartbreaking single
‘Tierra Mojada.’
This beautiful song speaks about missing a place you once called home and remembering its smells and sounds to feel closer.The result is a power ballad that will connect with anyone yearning for their homeland.

Their first single, “Los Santos Del Amor” was released on May 18, 2018, and is a fusión of cumbia and Latin folklore. The single is based on a Mexican legend that speaks of finding the cure to heartbreak by lighting candles for your patrón saint(s). This practice of faith is very common in Latino culture.

Inspired on one of the greatest romantic tales of Latin America, “El Callejón del Beso” explores the eternal passion of two lovers who swear love to each other forever. The single was released on September 6, 2018.

Their 3rd single, “Danzando Hacia La Luz”, was released on November 1st , 2018. The song deals with the search for self-acceptance and the right to love freely. Through its lyrics, Luis Mitre was able to express profound personal feelings in an elegant and poetic way.

WAPEA
, a cleverly named duo created by Cuban-American,
Jovany Barreto
and Singaporean,
Tat Tong
, is a multicultural music project that aims to harness the talent and experience of these two acclaimed producers to create a refreshing new cross-cultural sound for the 21st century.
These two kindred musical spirits are also accomplished producers. Under the name
The Swaggernautz,
they have
collaborated on the early developmental stages of songwriting and producing for various artists all over the world in numerous languages, such as Luis Fonsi in “Despacito (Mandarin version),” Demi Lovato in “Echame La Culpa (Not On You Remix),” and CNCO in “Estoy Enamorado De Ti,” who credit their collaboration as “essential” to their craft.
|
The creation of WAPEA allows Barreto and Tong to
expand from producers to performers of their own music. Now the duo debuts with a self-titled single and video, a fun and dance-inducing track that represents the cross-cultural ideals behind this unique musical project. Also, the name
“WAPEA”
carries an empowering meaning, as it’s also Caribbean slang for
“work it, do ya thing”
, a mantra that speaks to what the musicians want to put out into the world.
