Ramon Valle - Playground (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

After the birth of my firstborn son, Fabio, I needed some moments of retreat. The direction of my life changed from being impulsive and spontaneous to a life that was better organized and a little bit more structured. Little did I know that this new phase in my life was the kick-start for a new way to compose my music. Approaching life and music differently created new sounds, new projects and eventually, this new album PLAYGROUND.

To continue, I would love to share some of my sentiments out of which the music on PLAYGROUND was born.

The title song Playground reminds me of the feeling of being surrounded by children. Little kids playing, running in all directions, crying and laughing… The sensation of a new life, the feeling of a new start, new ideas and new hope.

At the same time in El Reto I’m talking about the great challenge of life. These are crazy times and you have to be strong, your antennas have to be very sensitive to all that’s around you in order to feel in what direction ‘sopla el viento’. Feeling which way the wind blows so that you can always be prepared.

In Fabio you will meet Ramon the father. Me taking care of my son, making sure he’s safe, teaching him about life and the dangers of it, playing and singing to him from my deepest Cuban feelings and letting him experience our Cuban roots and traditions.

In Zwana I tell the story of the love of my life and the mother of my child. It’s a tribute to our love history in a waltz tempo.
