Aguava is brainchild of house aficionado Allen Chen. Blending elements of lounge house with bossa nova and Afro-Cuban jazz, his latest offering “Can We” is a textured, ethereal delight drenched in a cosmic shine. A warm listen with a subtly organic flair thanks to the track’s understated guitar riffs, “Can We” is a hazy listen with a dreamlike nuance. Speaking on the track Aguava says, “‘Can We’ is a healing track that I made in reaction to the crazy events that occurred in the summer of 2020. I was stuck at home with my parents in quarantine at the time, and learned about the tragic death of George Floyd. I felt powerless and hopeless about the world and the hatred that was dividing us as a species. I sat down that day to make something that would soothe the pain and anxiety I was feeling; a sort of plea to the world for love to triumph over hate. It represents what I love about music as a whole; the ability to heal wounds and make the tough times a little bit better.”
