Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by John Richards, host of the Morning Show on KEXP, is "Contigo" by Tomo Nakayama, a 2023 single on Ricebelly Music.
Long-running Seattle singer/songwriter Tomo Nakayama continues to capture the hearts of his listeners, this time with the swoon-worthy single "Contigo." As he sings in Spanish, "Quiero estar contigo," which translates to "I want to be with you." As Nakayama shares in a Spotify playlist, the song draws inspiration from The Cure to PM Dawn to Caetano Veloso and more.
Local listeners have many chances to catch Tomo live this summer: he'll be playing the Snohomish Block Party on August 25-26, and the Clock-Out Lounge on Friday, September 8th.
