No veo nada

about

San Francisco and International-based artist Razteria’s new single, “No Veo Nada,” is a Reggae/EDM/Pop song sung in Spanish that combines a sultry and sensuous beach vibe with pop hooks and the ethereal qualities of ambient EDM.

"No Veo Nada" was written using a piece of Zezé Fassmor's poetry. Zezé became blind at 25 as a rare consequence of an eye injury. The Peruvian-Argentinian poet is now 34, and in his poem he describes how he now perceives the world, as one eye is dead and the other shines perpetual in bright white, as it still has some neural activity. It is like having one eye in the new moon and one eye as a sun. Living in between reality and the dream world, he finds peace through acceptance, diving deep into his being, and his desire to live and love. Symbolically through this song, Razteria is the "dulce voz,” the sweet voice, helping him to “see the horizon”.

The song gives a nod to the laid-back, tropical style of Sade with the groove of Shakira and the reggae swagger of Rita Marley, but brought to us with the breathiness of Cazzu. Júlio Mesquita’s graphic artwork powerfully symbolizes the way that Zezé visualizes his world.

Razteria has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for buying equipment needed for a home studio so Zezé can start a podcast to further his artistic productions and the promotional efforts he makes for other independent artists and musicians.

“No Veo Nada” features drums by Jayme Arredondo of classic Don Carlos reggae band, guitar by Tomas Salcedo of Fantastic Negrito and Kora (a West African harp) by Yacouba Diarra.
