With the Independence celebrations drawing nearer one of the pioneers of bouyon music, WCK, has released a single which the group described as the “new anthem.”

According to the band “#767” has a nostalgic feel, with a production style that replicates the emerging stages of Bouyon music.

The video commences by portraying members of the WCK band suffering vehicular trouble on the way to an event.

One member finds “THE BOUYON TRAIN” and the journey begins, picking up people heading to that event as they go along.

Traditional Jing Ping, Sensay and other elements of the Dominican culture is incorporated into the video and the song which sets a truly Dominican festive atmosphere, and at the same time, painting a clear picture as to the origins of Bouyon Music.

“This anthem will touch Dominicans, both at home and abroad, but its true beauty is that regardless of nationality, a simple flip of numbers makes this song applicable to any nation,” a release by the band stated.

The song was composed by Earlson Mattew and Peters Walsh and was written by Peter Walsh, Delton Alfred, Edmond Telemacque, Clint Henderson, and Earlson Matthew

Arrangement was done by the WCK Band and recorded by Sonic Art Studios.

#767 video was directed by Sheldon Casimir. Camera work was done Sheldon Casimir, Nixon George, Kurt Rolle (U.N.I.T.E).

Editing was done by Sheldon Casimir, Earlson Matthew and produced by Earlson Matthew and Liam Sebastien.
