Saoko & Shingaling is an indie project based in Bugalu, that incorporates the modern soundscapes of House & Electronic music.

A hypnotic blend of deep house, tropical rhythm, and electronic music  with a Bugalú flow, Saoko y Shingaling is Lester Rey's 10th and final EP before his debut album. Produced by Lester Rey in collaboration with MoonDoctoR, AfroQbano, and Gabacho, the EP Saoko y Shingaling gives this song a home to share its message: "Hay music que no es de aqua, ni de alla, and it's here to stay!"
The EP includes Pena, Blanco Cafe, and I Like it Like That. Pena carries an overwhelming message taken by Puerto Rican Protest movements to uplift and by individuals looking for motivation to move beyond their circumstances. Blanco Cafe is an affirmation with anthem-like lyrics that honor the resilience and struggles of the Boricua diaspora. I Like It Like That is a vibrant, eclectic, indie take on a Latin classic blending bugalú’s infectious groove, salsa’s irresistible swing, and his own modern flair.

Custom Shoutout

Pena blends deep house, tropical rhythm, and Bugalú flows into a hypnotic track anchored by the refrain “No vale la pena andar por andar” (“It’s not worth it to wander”). Produced by AfroQbano and performed worldwide by Lester Rey, the song delivers a powerful impact with minimal lyrics.
Pena became a personal remedy for grief and disillusionment. Though hesitant to release it, Lester found healing in live performances, where it became an audience favorite and a source of strength for Puerto Rican protest movements.

Pena (Visualizer)

Pena (Visualizer by Trey Legit) - House, Salsa, Funk, Bugalu, Tropical

An affirmation with anthem-like lyrics that honor the resilience and struggles of the Boricua diaspora. Blanco Cafe is a message to any negative thoughts stating that you deserve to exist, to be here, and that you have many reasons to be feeling yourself. The alternative tune is a forward proposition towards a minimalist future sound for salsa. Stripped yet powerful, Lester Rey’s raw delivery captures both the pride and the pain of displacement, transforming personal history into a stirring cultural tribute.

Blanco Café Visualizer

Blanco Café is acid salsa made in a gritty Chicago basement. A tribute to resilience in diaspora.

A vibrant and eclectic take on a Latin classic, this is the most lively rendition yet. Lester Rey infuses the track with his unmistakable sabor Boricua, blending bugalú’s infectious groove, salsa’s irresistible swing, and his own modern flair. With every sax hit, guitar riff and percussion break, his keen sense of rhythm and heritage shines through, making this version an undeniable dance floor magnet.
