Carlos Santana Says ‘Me Retiro’ Is ‘Just the Beginning’ of Collabs With Grupo Frontera
By Larisha Paul, Rolling Stone
Carlos Santana and Grupo Frontera unlocked something within each other while creating their first collaboration, “Me Retiro.” The single combines the guitarist’s weighted influence with the música mexicana group’s steadfast ambition. Edgar Barrera, who wrote and produced the song, is responsible for bringing them together.
“It’s always a surreal moment when you get to collaborate with people you’ve looked up to your whole life,” Grupo Frontera shared in a statement. “Edgar Barrera told us that Santana wanted to make a song together and we were shocked. Being in the same room as him, watching him work, we were speechless.
We learned a lot from the experience.”
“Me Retiro” hands itself over to heartbreak as Santana and Grupo Frontera come together to say goodbye. “When I hear the music and lyrics of this song, it’s about healing people, sharing light, love, and joy with them,” Santana shared. “To me, this music is meant to uplift our spirits and align our motives, purpose and intentions toward the highest good of life, people and the planet.”
