The German rock band Bodyguerra is pleased to announce the release of their latest project: "Latin Lover", originally performed by the Italian rock legend Gianna Nannini. The song first appeared in 1982 on Nannini's album of the same name and has been considered a classic of rock music ever since.
Bodyguerra are working on new songs and have gotten none other than producer legend Siggi Bemm on board. The recordings will take place in the renowned Woodhouse Studio in Hagen, which has already hosted great acts such as Kreator, Tiamat and Sodom.
Guitarist Guido Stoecker is delighted to be working with Siggi Bemm: "Working with Siggi in the studio is a real privilege for us. His sense of sound and production gives our songs a new dimension."
With their unique interpretation of "Latin Lover," Bodyguerra pay tribute to the original version while adding their own musical touch. The band is known for their energetic performances and ability to breathe new life into classic rock songs.
The original album "Latin Lover" marked the beginning of Gianna Nannini's collaboration with German producer Conny Plank and featured contributions from prominent guest musicians such as Annie Lennox, Jaki Liebezeit and Annette Humpe. It reached gold status in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and platinum in Italy.
Bodyguerra hope to enthuse both long-time fans of the original and new listeners with their version of "Latin Lover." The track is now available on all major streaming platforms.
