The Weather Smells Like Oranges

The Weather Smells Like Oranges is the first EP by the Dominican picnic-pop band Las Acevedo, released independently in February 2010, shortly after their single "Chaka Chaka!" reached popularity.

Original cover art.

The EP was composed by the twin sisters Anabel and Cristabel Acevedo, using spanglish Dominican slang in a minimalistic and bucolic sound combination of a bongo, ukulele-tuned classic guitar and a tambourine, wrapped with naïve lyrics about sexual longing,[1] idyllic romances and adulthood denial.[2]

The single "Chaka Chaka!" was the one and only song of the band to become popular reaching international recognition.

The first version of the EP was recorded using a Macbook pro and mixed with the software Audacity in December 2009 in a rehearsal room at Centro Cultural Srta. Ercilia Pepin in Santiago de los Caballeros. Later the EP was remastered in a professional studio and officially launched in February 2010.

The EP contains 4 songs and a bonus track.

  1. The Weather Smells Like Oranges
