Luis Martelo – Sabroso (2026)
Are you looking for a song that is packed with those rhythms that get your feet tapping before you realise what’s happened? If the answer is yes, you need to take a listen to ‘Sabroso’ by Portuguese trumpeter Luis Martelo. A warm and Latin-inspired track, it is packed full of energy while carrying the scent of summer and the sea. It is sure to become your summer anthem.
The single taps into Salsa, a musical style that is not often embraced or attempted by Portuguese musicians. While diving headfirst into this style, Martelo remains true to the unique musical language that has set him apart from others on the scene. Inspired by his many trips and performances on Pico Island, Azores, it will transport you to a warm beach where you want to dance late into the night.
The Salsa vibes hit from the first note, making your shoulders move to the rhythm. There is a clear heavy-Salsa influence on the melody that transports you to warm tropical climates where you need to grab a partner and dance. In your mind’s eye, you can clearly see the dance floor packed with couples moving together. While imagining this, you are going to feel the need to move yourself, whether that be dancing to the music or moving in your seat in some manner. There is an infectious energy to the sound that you can’t get away from, not that you would really want to.
While the music captivates your senses, you also get lost in the sound of Martelo’s trumpet. The instrument shines as it dances along with the couples in your mind across the lower Salsa tones. The warmth of his performance enhances the overall emotive flows of the single, taking everything to another level. Every note has been masterfully styled to raise the fever-pitch of the track and create the summer anthem that you will blare from your speakers or dance around to while you cook.
It is not only Martlo’s trumpet that makes the single. Each instrument flows like a tightly choreographed dance designed to grab your hand and pull you into the warm Latin-inspired waves. Resting in the lower levels is the faintest hint of jazzy tones that work really well with the overall Latin and Salsa vibes of the music. It is an extremely catchy single that you can easily have on repeat as the sun shines.
