about
"Vamos A Nadar" is the new single from UK's Peyoti for President, currently based in southern Portugal. It is a production collaboration between Peyoti himself and Portuguese-based producer Marc Mennigmann. The song is a bouncy, ethnic-world vibe, tequila-fueled, and was written during a three-month visit to Mexico, the land of the mescaline Peyote cactus.
The track features the lovely, albeit slightly "loca," Ceci Meza, who was born and raised in Mexico City, adding her vocal magic. The track brings the sound of dance floor "cumbia" Mexicana-style to the streets for summer 2023, with a truly unforgettable keyboard hook that is guaranteed to be your latest earworm.
Following in the footsteps of artists like Manu Chao, whom Peyoti once performed with as UK tour support, the song is a unique blend of New World and Dancehall, combining sensual lyrics and spiritual counsel. It's not often that you find both elements in the same song!
"Vamos A Nadar" is the first single from the forthcoming album, currently titled "The Mexican Files," scheduled for release in late April 2024.
lyrics
Yo estoy peda....ho
Bolita!
Living it up in the ocean
Swimming in the ocean
Jamming to the ocean waves
Vamos a Nadar
Ah? What you want?
Ah? Let's ....erh..... ah?
Pásame una chela
You have to take me to bed
Sírveme otra chela
Living it up in the ocean
Swimming in the ocean
Jamming to the ocean waves
Vamos a Nadar
And you look out there and......
and you know it's like waves just rising out of nowhere
then falling back into the sheer mass of the water
and to me it feels like, erh, we're just the same as the waves
and humanity is the ocean
and so we should take this amazing life that we've got
and in this moment.... seize the day

Born out of the urban decay of London streets, against all odds, Peyoti for President became manifest. This magical anti-
hero...hallucinogenic icon of self-expression continues to blaze its debaucherous trail of musical endeavours & visionary expression, leaving diamond shaped nuggets of revolutionary passion in its wake. The Antidote to the tiresome formulaic expression of pop music....more
