Caribbean singer-songwriter and producer Ir Sais duets with the young Colombian urban star Manuel Turizo on their new collaboration “Baila Kumi.”
Ir Sais, the famous creator of “Midnight Boom” and “Dream Girl,” which has more than a billion streams, offers up another dazzling and fresh anthem. “Baila Kumi” is a phrase in Ir Sais’ native language of Papiamento, which refers to dancing with your partner. Seamlessly fusing Papiamento, Spanish and English, this song brims with romanticism in three languages.
Mixing tropical and Latin-urban influences with the kadans rhythm, “Baila Kumi” is produced by Ir Sais, JonTheProducer, and Daramola who also serve as songwriters along with Manuel Turizo and Miguel “Slow” Martínez. Slow is co-founder of the award-winning Afro-Colombian trio ChocQuibTown, who were recently featured on a remix of Ir Sais’ hit “Midnight Boom,” also featuring Afro B.
Directed by Kath D. for 2 Wolves Productions, the music video portrays the singers in various time periods, including the precolonial era, the 1980s, and a futuristic, post-apocalyptic world.
