The newest EP by Leon Bahar is called “Back to Beginnings, Vol. 1” – a set of five tracks that combine a pinch of jungle and a few drops of drum ‘n’ bass with a positive summer feeling. This mini-album is Leon’s testimony of love, joy and memories that originated from dogs she worked with in Spanish dog rescue centers during a three-month period there.
As a music composer and music producer, Leon provides his own touch for each of the tracks that forms an EP that is both inspiring and memorable. There are always tracks that make for interesting listens such as ‘Cave Rave,’ ‘La Ensalada del Diablo,’ and ‘Running with Dogs” every one of which tells more than one story and sums up Leon’s sojourn in Spain.
As for the title track “Cave Rave” it reflects the spirit of an intimate Leon and his friends’ party they once held in a cave. All in all, ‘La Ensalada del Diablo’ is a joyful surrealistic response to an elderly man the narrator met who called marijuana that same name.
There is also pain in the film, ‘Running with Dogs,’ which Leon made to honor the rescue animals he helped save, after losing his own dog with which he shared 17 years.
In terms of its catchiness, Melodiously, “Back to Beginnings, Vol. 1” soothes with crisp sampling and summer tones. Bahar has been able to combine great music and story-telling elements, which is why this EP should not miss in any playlist for the summer.
