When Medellin electronic maestro Emmanuel Callejas collaborates with Venezuela’s Latin house force NOTHANKYOU, Miami tech house star IT’S KING JULIAN, and the incendiary Brazilian funk legend MC GW, what they create is pure magic.
Their latest single ‘Bawineo,’ dropped on October 24 on SUNDAY and One Seven Music, is already setting dancefloors around the world ablaze.
From the very first beat, ‘Bawineo’ stands out as one of the most infectious tribal beats of the year. MC GW’s distinctive voice is instantly heard, paving the way for a trans-national, trans-genre sonic experience. The fusion of the hand timbal rhythm with the chocalho beat gets the dance floor filling up in the aisles. Wherever the track falls, dancefloors freeze for a second of amazed amazement before erupting into unstoppable movement – a crowd becoming “bawinos,” Colombian street parlance for people completely intoxicated with the rhythm. But here, it’s not liquor causing the wonder – it’s plain and simple music.
A Global Collaboration of Masters
What stands out in ‘Bawineo’ is the impecable merging of musical personas. Callejas, NOTHANKYOU, and IT’S KING JULIAN merged their personal strengths – from tribal house intensity to deep Latin percussion and Miami club groove – to produce a powerful instrumental that released raw underground energy.
Once the instrumental was completed, the team knew they required the perfect voice to turn its ferocity into reality. That’s when MC GW took the stage. A DIY one of Brazil’s biggest funk hits, MC GW has accumulated over 21 million monthly listeners on Spotify and has featured on over 3,700 tracks thus far in 2024. His powerful and percussive vocals added the finishing touch, turning ‘Bawineo’ into an official global club anthem.
Industry Support and First Reactions
Already, the record has received massive support from industry heavyweights like Jamie Jones, Joseph Capriati, GORDO, Cloonee, Mason Collective, and many more. From Europe and into South America, ‘Bawineo’ is being hailed as a new standard for Latin-tech fusion – blending high-energy percussion, hypnotic basslines, and the kind of festival-friendly energy that powers peak-hour sets.
Artist Insights
All of the artists on the track brought their own unique creative vision to the table:
NOTHANKYOU wrote, “This record unites two things we love: Brazilian funk and tech house to create something fresh and tailored to the dancefloor.”
Emmanuel Callejas added, “Bawineo is movement and energy. We wanted a sound that’s global but doesn’t lose its raw and underground edge.”
IT’S KING JULIAN pointed out, “It’s the perfect blend of groove and punch. You can play it in a club or release it on the net – it just gets the job done.”
And MC GW put it to good use: “Bawineo is from Brazil to the world – it’s gonna make the girls wild!”
The Future of Bawineo
As the song continues to dominate playlists and live sets around the world, there can be no doubt that ‘Bawineo’ is not merely a drop – it’s a phenomenon. With its irrepressible rhythm, worldwide vibe, and unbridled energy, the song captures the essence of what unites dance music.
So, the next time ‘Bawineo’ drops on the dancefloor, be ready – because once that rhythm hits, you’ll remember the moment for the rest of your life.
