I suspect this video was made to produce envy among the rest of Colombians, who are still foolishly debating whether it's worth living in peace or not. I suspect that Elkin Robinson, Born in Providencia, a municipality belonging to the department of San Andres Islands, with fewer than five thousand inhabitants and an area of eighteen square kilometers, he likes to boast, with every reason in the world, of to live in what many would call paradise, where people wake up from their siesta to watch the sunset and where hardly anyone talks about stress or violence. I suspect that's what this English-speaking Caribbean man with a catchy voice intended when he made this clip called Sun a shine, A visual ode to a paradisiacal space with a tasty soundtrack included.
Elkin Robinson, who already exports his music throughout Europe, releases this single, recorded by renowned Colombian/British producer Richard Blair, Sidestepper leader. Sun a shine achieves intelligently to integrate island genres with a pop sound that manages to captivate the international listener. Blair, a wise man if ever there was one, did not, as others would do, "whitewash" the song so that the palates of developed markets would celebrate it, but rather to find in Robinson's very roots that element that he can share with the whole world, achieving the perfect blend between the honest original resonance and contemporary standards.
Elkin Robinson wants to travel the world carrying the essence of his little corner of the world in his suitcase. This audiovisual work will surely help you achieve it. He has the peace of mind of carrying a catalog of great songs under his arm on his journey, a backing band that knows how to express the delight in music, and the serenity of knowing that, upon returning home, He will continue to find heaven in the middle of the Caribbean Sea.
