The lyric she wrote with Ghetto Kumbé’s Edgardo Garcés follows someone standing in a river at night, cold water over their feet, their sins going downstream with the current, praying the moon holds the frost back till morning. The chorus keeps returning to “Solo deja que la brisa arrastre todo consigo”, let the breeze carry everything away with it, and Pimienta’s voice delivers it each time like the decision has already been made. Co-produced with London’s The Busy Twist, the Afro-Caribbean percussion drives underneath while the vocal stays above it.
“Cardón” opens Cardones, the new Ghetto Kumbé album released on May 15, an eight-track record built around collaborations: Pimienta Pushaina also opens the album on “Wayakana”, while Nidia Gongora and Akilín appear on closing track “Belén”. In support of the LP, the Cardones Tour Europa 2026 runs through June and July, taking in Fusion Festival in Larz, Colours of Ostrava in Ostrava and Les Suds à Arles among the stops.
