CAPE VERDEAN AFROBEAT LATIN FUSION ARTIST JUNE FREEDOM SHARES “DORAMA

Cape Verdean, International recording artist June Freedom returns with his latest smooth offering, “DORAMA”, from his forthcoming album, Casa Mira Mar, featuring Galician-Brazilian multidisciplinary artist Lua de Santana—out now via Flight Club Music Group / EMPIRE. A cross-cultural trailblazer, “DORAMA” unfolds like a late-night binge-worthy romance.

Named after the Japanese TV drama genre, “DORAMA” captures a love so intense, it feels scripted—one filled with passion and unshakable devotion. June’s confident, hypnotic flow creates an undeniable pull, while Lua counters with raw allure that perfectly complements the chemistry between them. The track’s infectious production—crafted by Eric “AIR!C” José da Cruz, Ergin “BEARDEAUX” Dundar, Luis “VG$ Midnight” Miguel Fernandes Alves, and Niko “neekomadethis” Schneider—matches the energy of their dynamic performance, fusing Luso-Afro textures with Latin melodies to create a truly immersive experience.

“Tê modi mundo, ka tá krê. Ma ba bo n’tá finca pé” (The world doesn’t want us together. But for you, I’ll put my foot down), sings June, embodying the confident lover willing to fight against all odds. Lua responds with a verse dripping in anticipation: “Estou contando os minutos até você vir…Eu sucumbi… Agora tenho certeza…Acordando com você, sou feliz” (I’m counting the minutes until you arrive…I succumbed…Now I’m certain…Waking up with you, I’m in bliss). It’s a connection so deep, it’s telepathic.

Lua reflects on the collaboration, saying, “I was so grateful when June asked me to join him on this wonderful song. We met last year in Madrid when our friend, Eva Ruiz, invited me to his show. It was my first time listening to his art, and we instantly clicked—as did his talented band. I’m so happy to unite Cabo Verde and Brazil in this beautiful love letter and can’t wait to share it with the rest of the world.”

June adds, “I’ve always believed music is a conversation, and when Lua came through on DORAMA, it felt like we were naturally in tune with each other’s energy. This isn’t just a track—it’s an experience, one that feels as electric as it sounds.”

This genre-blurring anthem is a masterclass in Afro-Fusion and Latin Alternative, seamlessly blending Afrobeat rhythms with Latin’s urban flair. The track’s percussive intensity is met with an undeniable sensuality, making it a standout addition to June Freedom’s catalog. With Casa Mira Mar on the horizon, June Freedom is poised to elevate his sound to new heights. Each track is a journey, blending cultural influences and future-forward production into a sonic landscape that feels both intimate and expansive. Like “DORAMA”, the album is where memories meet music. As June continues to break boundaries, Casa Mira Mar promises to be the soundtrack for your next obsession, drawing you deeper into his world with every listen.
