By the city\u2019s influence, and perhaps more so, love, and the adventures of it invited random foreigners to get together and create music. Strong indie pop influences, combined with South African, Mexican rock\/pop and mariachi styles along with producer Matthew Golombisky&#8217;s background in jazz, led to the creation of The Wild Oaks (TWO). <\/p>\n<p>The Wild Oaks originally started 5 years ago where Ruann, Matthew, Hiro, and Scott started playing all over the city to explore the adventure of a random mix of cultures from USA (Matthew), Mexico (Scott), Japan (Hiro) and Ruann (South Africa). Live shows included playing\/busking on trains in the subways and also on the streets of Buenos Aires. The group then \u201cDirty Skeletons\u201d transformed into TWO from the wild and exploratory shows to create a sound that is danceable and with a message for each listener to interpret in their own way. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOaks\u201d is also South African slang for guys or \u2018dudes\u2019 and is a play on words for the significance of the different roots from various cultures to join as one banded tree to create something fresh and unique. <\/p>\n<p>The group is currently recording with talented Colombian and American producers in Buenos Aires to finish their first EP to be released with indie label, ears&#038;eyes Records, and also performing shows around Latin America.<br \/>\nlyrics<br \/>\nI cannot control this feeling unknown<br \/>\nI cannot contain, the way I\u2019ve been made<br \/>\nyou cannot deny, that look in your eye<br \/>\nYou cannot bestow, that I\u2019m going rogue <\/p>\n<p>You and I are running while that beat is drumming<br \/>\nTake a chance and fall you might just break the wall<br \/>\nStep up to the stage, you might just be insane<br \/>\nLet that spirit rage salvation is your brain <\/p>\n<p>Freedom is calling our names, freedom exploding in flames<br \/>\nFreedom is calling our names, freedom exploding in flames <\/p>\n<p>You and I are running while that beat is drumming<br \/>\nTake a chance and fall you might just break the wall<br \/>\nStep up to the stage, you might just be insane<br \/>\nLet that spirit rage salvation is your brain <\/p>\n<p>I cannot contain the way I\u2019ve been raised<br \/>\nCannot control this feeling unknown<br \/>\nI cannot deny, that look in your eye<br \/>\nI cannot bestow, that I\u2019m going rogue <\/p>\n<p>Freedom, freedom, freedom, is calling our names<br \/>\nFreedom, freedom, freedom, is calling our names<br \/>\nFreedom, freedom, freedom is calling our names<br \/>\ncredits<br \/>\nreleased March 15, 2019<br \/>\nMusic by Ruann van der Merwe &#038; Matthew Golombisky<br \/>\nLyrics by Ruann van der Merwe <\/p>\n<p>Scott Gomez: vocals<br \/>\nRuann van der Merwe: guitar<br \/>\nMatthew Golombisky: bass, Rhodes, organ<br \/>\nHiro Suzuki: drums <\/p>\n<p>With:<br \/>\nSebastian Greschuk: trumpet<br \/>\nCamila Nebbia: tenor sax<br \/>\nJesus Silva: trombone<br \/>\nOmar Menendez: percussion<br \/>\nEnsamble Vocal Buenos Aires: choir <\/p>\n<p>Recorded by Javier Coy Celis at Submarino Naranja &#038; Domo Labs in Buenos Aires<br \/>\nAdditional recording by Matthew Golombisky at ears&#038;eyes Studios<br \/>\nMixed and mastered by Florencio Justo at Estudio Doctor F. <\/p>\n<p>Produced by Matthew Golombisky<br \/>\nExecutive produced by Ruann van der Merwe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wild Oaks is an indie\/rock\/pop group that was formed by the binding power Buenos Aires, Argentina has on traveling ex-pats.
