World Premiere of Caymmi Rodriguez Singing Atabal’s Remenéate

Released on La Noche de San Juan, Thursday, June 23, 2022. 🇵🇷

This is more than a version of the song. We spoke with Abuela. They had a baquiné a year ago during the pandemic. Es la verda’. ¡Remenéate!

Atabal is one of the cool bands active in Puerto Rico now. Remenéate means shake yourself. Atabal is releasing a new “Remenéate” video featuring Caymmi Rodríguez on Friday, June 24 at 7pm. YouTube.com

The song is based on a baquiné chorus, an Afro-Caribbean wake or shiva where the community gathers all night before a baby is buried in the morning. It is how we turn sorrow at the loss into joy, because the child has returned to heaven. Any time we gather, we drum, sing and dance together.

This old Nigerian tradition comes to us through Loíza Aldea, a small town known for the richness of its African Diaspora culture. Loíza is a center of Bomba, Puerto Rico’s oldest drum, song and dance tradition. It is the home of the Batey de Los Hermanos Ayala, one of the sacred community circles on the island, and Las Fiestas de Santiago Apóstol, our favorite patron saint festival.

This is Atabal’s last “Remenéate” video. A new “Remenéate” video premieres Thursday, June 23 en la noche de San Juan!

Both versions of the song are produced by David Marrero of OxLab who is producing a lot of interesting Puerto Rican music from artists such as Ama Ríos, Yubá Iré, Almas Band and others. Instagram

We can’t wait to see the new video, but the last one made us smile. Whatever sorrow you need to let go of, remenéate (shake it off) with Atabal. ¡WEPA! 🇵🇷
