Mexican duo Sotomayor return with WABI SABI, their first album in six years and a record that celebrates the group’s 10-year anniversary. Siblings Raúl and Paulina Sotomayor have built a reputation for their seamless mix of electronic beats and Latin American rhythms, creating dance music with a global perspective while headlining some of LatAm's biggest festivals and selling out shows throughout the Americas and Europe.

Written in just two weeks at Raúl’s Kaya Records studio in Mexico City and recorded over ten days in Puerto Rico with 28 time Grammy-winning producer Eduardo Cabra (aka Vistante of Calle 13), WABI SABI is both urgent and precise. The album blends house, afrobeat, cumbia, dancehall, plena, and kuduro, drawing inspiration from artists like Jamie xx, Polo & Pan, Lewis Of Man, and Nu Genea, while ultimately arriving at a sound that is distinctly their own.

The lyrics explore cycles, resilience, and self-discovery. It’s their most electronic album yet, but the live percussion and organic textures keep it rooted in the rhythms that have always been at the heart of their music.

After the release of their 2020 breakthrough Orígenes, also produced by Cabra, Sotomayor’s touring schedule took them to major festivals and venues around the world. When the pandemic hit, that rapid growth came to a sudden stop. During this time, Paulina launched her acclaimed solo project Pahua, while Raúl focused on producing other artists under the name Tonga Conga.

Now reunited, Sotomayor return with a sound shaped by their shared history and time apart. WABI SABI takes its name from a Japanese concept that finds beauty in imperfection, a fitting lens for the past few years of transformation. The album doesn’t just mark ten years of making music together — it captures a band rediscovering its identity and pushing its sound forward in surprising new ways.
