Boris Métraux’s latest single, “Nena,” emerges as a vibrant testament to the healing power of music. Recorded deep in the lush jungles of Playa Venao, Panama, the track captures a moment of reflection and renewal. As an independent electronic music producer, Métraux infuses every beat with a sense of place, where rustling palms and flowing rivers become part of the composition’s lifeblood.
Steeped in organic Afro-house rhythms, “Nena” weaves tribal percussion with atmospheric synth washes, creating a canvas that feels both ancient and futuristic. Métraux’s production choices honor ancestral textures while driving us forward on a modern dance floor. The percussion pulses like a heartbeat, grounding lofty synth motifs in earthy momentum.
Métraux drew inspiration from a pivotal healing moment, crafting the song as a mantra of empowerment. Although the spirit of his vocal mantra resonates throughout the song, he leaves space for us to find our direction, much like a river carving its path through stone. The result is a track that feels deeply personal yet universally relatable.
“Nena” is a bold statement from an artist unafraid to merge natural textures with electronic innovation. Whether you’re seeking solace or surrendering to the rhythm, this single promises to guide you on a journey of self-discovery, one hypnotic groove at a time.
