"The salsa dura, cumbia and Brazilian-inspired productions, which blend the electronic with live instrumentation, couldn’t be more inviting." Noisey

The Quebec-Latino artist handpicked his collaborators on this second, entirely Spanish album, most notably producer Jean Massicotte (Adam Cohen, Lhasa, Patrick Watson…), artists from Montreal Pierre Kwenders and Sonido Pesa’o, and outstanding international performers La Yegros (Buenos Aires) and Thornato (NYC). The record is also packed with Montreal talented musicians, and includes contributions from Poirier, Serge Nakauchi Pelletier and Philippe Brault to name a few.

Boogat’s urban-latino sound evokes themes of both love and conflict. “How someone feels about new experiences in life differs from one another, but we have to remind ourselves that people of all generations, contexts and civilisations face the same struggles with human dignity”, he explains. With Neo-Reconquista, Boogat stands up for his hybrid latin culture in a fast-paced society.

With this album, Boogat won in 2016 the “Juno Award” and the “Félix Award” for “World Music Album of the Year” (corresponding respectively to the Grammy Awards in Canada and Quebec).
