NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION‘s ‘What’s Your Sound?’ gives young and unsigned artists to present their sound and artistic vision to a bigger audience in order to gain them more attention. This time we have a participant from Argentina.


Malicia or Malice in English is the first single for Trio, my last EP for Geiser Discos (Buenos Aires). It’s a kinda weird semi-ballad inspired on Paula Abdul’s proper famous ballad Rush, rush. You can listen to a few bars of the song’s intro working as the main rhythm pattern for Malicia.

It thrilled me very deep when I found out (Thanks, Whosampled!) that not only Fito Paez (kinda a pop hero during my childhood in Buenos Aires and my first CD adquisition during the early 90s) but also Nicki Minaj sampled the same tune.

So, we can talk about unconscious sampling here?

Whatever, that does not matter now. What do matters is that when with the visual artists Bruno Gruppalli and Facundo Pires we decided to shoot a video for that tune, they unconsciously pick a color palette that resembles directly to the back of the record of Fito where that tune is!
