about

Following on from last year's hit ‘Alma Carnavalera’ Stephanie Santiago continues her exploration of her own Latin American heritage with this latest single ‘Campo de Minas’ - a powerful fusion of Bossa ballad and Afro-Brazilian grooves.

Produced alongside her regular collaborator Andres Pascua, the musical inspiration came about from Steph and Andres’s common love for Brazilian music. Whereas her previous two tracks took their cue from Colombia inspired by Cumbia and Bullerengue this time there’s more of a Brazilian influence, eschewing the synth / electronic sounds and programmed drums for a more acoustic and percussive sound. 

The track features Colombian percussion and rhythm sign language band La Legión (based in Bogotá, Colombia) which was live directed and arranged by Jorge Arciniegas who tied together the elements of samba reggae seamlessly with the South American and African instrumentation of the percussion ensemble.

Lyrically the song speaks to Stephanie's witnessing of discrimination within her community as well as her firsthand experience racist and classist micro-aggressions toward her.
