Boogát and Diogo Ramos meet again on “Sapatinho” remixed by Poirier, a Quebras Music single that revisits their 2024 single from Del Horizonte with a new production frame shaped by the Montreal producer.

Ramos, born in São Paulo and now based in Montreal, has spent roughly twenty five years working as a songwriter, performer and producer, with around twenty albums across his credits. Releases such as Samba sans frontières, Raro Efeito and Cabaça link his Brazilian folk and Tropicália roots to a later project shaped around samba funk and electro hip hop, developed further on tours through Canada, South America and Europe.

Boogát, born in Quebec City to Mexican and Paraguayan parents and long established in Montreal, has built a Latin hip hop discography with albums including El Dorado Sunset, Neo-Reconquista and Del Horizonte, where Spanish, French and English lyrics sit alongside collaborations with artists from across the Americas.

The original “Sapatinho” brings Ramos, Boogát and singer Bianca Rocha together in Portuguese and Spanish, set over electric guitar, Rhodes, bass, programmed drums, Brazilian percussion, clavinet and brass. Its title refers to small samba steps, and the lyrics shift from gentle closeness to heavier internal tension. Ramos’s Portuguese lines deal with anger and the need to release it, using the idea of small steps as a guide through recovery. Boogát’s Spanish verse focuses on resentment, fear of rejection and the challenge of depending on others. Both arrive at the same point: progress built slowly, step by step.

Poirier’s remix keeps those voices and words in place while reshaping the beat and overall structure. His long-running work in tropical bass and urban electronic music, with releases on Ninja Tune, Mixpak and Nice Up, gives the track a Montreal club frame that aligns naturally with the samba funk and electro hip hop elements already present in the original.
