The Unlikely Union: Boza and Sech's "París" Brings Panama to the Forefront
In a city where music is woven into the fabric of everyday life, two of Panama's most beloved artists have finally come together to create something truly special. In an exclusive interview with Billboard, Boza and Sech shared their story behind their first collaboration, "París," a song that not only showcases their unique blend of styles but also highlights the cultural significance of Panamanian music.
As we sat down with Boza and Sech in a bustling café in Panama City, the excitement was palpable. The two artists, known for their individual contributions to the Latin music scene, had been wanting to collaborate for years. "We've been talking about it for a while," Boza explained, "but life got in the way." Sech nodded in agreement, adding, "It took us a while to do this, but we wanted to make sure that when we did, it was something special."
Their collaboration on "París" is more than just a song – it's a celebration of Panamanian culture and identity. The track blends traditional rhythms with modern production, creating a sound that is distinctly Panamanian. For Boza and Sech, this project represents a long-overdue recognition of their country's rich musical heritage.
"We want to put Panama on top," Sech declared, his eyes shining with passion. "We're not just talking about music; we're talking about our culture, our history, and our people." Boza nodded in agreement, adding, "Panama has a unique sound that's been influenced by African rhythms, Spanish guitar, and indigenous traditions. We want to share that with the world."
The story of "París" is also one of perseverance and dedication. Despite their individual successes, both artists had to navigate their own projects and schedules before finally coming together on this collaboration. "We recorded two songs initially," Boza revealed, "but we didn't release them at the time." Sech chuckled, adding, "Life got in the way, but we're glad we waited."
Their patience paid off when they finally came together to work on "París." The song's creator, Boza, had been working on the track for months before sharing it with Sech. "I sent him the song and he loved it," Boza said with a smile. "We both wanted to do something special, and we're thrilled that it's finally out."
The impact of "París" extends beyond the music itself. By celebrating Panamanian culture and identity, the song is also a testament to the power of community and collaboration. As Sech noted, "When we work together as artists, we can create something truly special." Boza added, "We're not just making music; we're building bridges between our communities."
As we concluded our conversation with Boza and Sech, it was clear that their collaboration on "París" is more than just a song – it's a movement. By sharing their unique blend of styles and celebrating Panamanian culture, these two artists are putting their country firmly on the map.
