Why I Love This NAS Song: “Simulan NA” by Tambiotics

Tambiotics’ Artist Page is HERE

Hasta las palabras más triviales pueden adquirir magia cuando se entonan en lenguas ajenas al idioma materno… ¡¡¡Sa – wa – lo – pat!!!

Es el grito de guerra con el que inicia “Simulan Na” del grupo Tambiotics, una canción que desde sus primeros segundos despierta curiosidad y deja claro que hay algo interesante por descubrir.

El ser humano siempre tiende a clasificar y comparar. Buscamos referencias, etiquetas, puntos de conexión. Y esta es, precisamente, una de las cosas que menos me gustan del ambiente musical: esa pregunta recurrente de “¿Cómo quién suenas?” o “¿A quién te pareces?”. La comparación puede convertirse rápidamente en un sesgo, una predisposición que condiciona la forma en que escuchamos.

Entonces, voy a intentar romper ese sesgo: esta canción suena genial y punto.

“Simulan Na” utiliza una estructura musical clásica y efectiva, construida para mantener una dinámica ascendente y envolvente. Transmite una sensación festiva y motivadora; su ritmo y su interpretación invitan al movimiento y consiguen de forma natural algo que muchos músicos buscan durante años: el groove. Ese punto en que ritmo, interpretación y energía se encuentran y hacen que el cuerpo responda casi de manera natural. Y quienes crean música saben que conseguirlo no es tan sencillo.

Ahora bien, para quienes disfrutan de las comparaciones, “Simulan Na” transita por territorios cercanos al rock alternativo y al rock latino. Dependiendo de la referencia musical de cada oyente, pueden aparecer distintas reminiscencias: quizás “Red Hot Chili Peppers” en determinados patrones rítmicos del bajo; “Blink-182” o “Foo Fighters” en la energía de las guitarras y el coro; baterías de “Maná”; incluso “Los Bunkers”, por la combinación de melodía vocal, guitarras y una interpretación de carácter orgánico.

Pero, en definitiva, que cada oyente encuentre sus propias referencias. Lo importante es que Tambiotics consigue que la canción tenga identidad y, sobre todo, que provoque ganas de escucharla nuevamente.

No hay mucho más que decir: ahora les toca a ustedes escucharla y sacar sus propias conclusiones… Aprecio que las compartan en los comentarios.

Felicitaciones Tambiotics. Excelente trabajo. Escuché otras canciones de ustedes y todas tienen un encanto especial. De corazón, les deseo lo mejor en su carrera musical.

Ojalá puedan recorrer el mundo haciendo lo que aman, llenar escenarios y vivir ese sueño que tantos músicos persiguen y que muy pocos logran alcanzar. Ustedes tienen todo para lograrlo, estoy seguro de que alguien con verdadera “influencia” los descubrirá y tomarán impulso para no detenerse jamás.

Sigan trabajando. ¡Ánimo! ¡Ánimo! ¡Y más ánimo!

English Translation

Even the most trivial words can acquire magic when chanted in languages other than one’s native tongue… Sa – wa – lo – pat!!!

That’s the battle cry that kicks off “Simulan Na” by the band Tambiotics, a track that piques curiosity from its very first seconds and makes it clear that there’s something compelling to discover.

Human beings always tend to classify and compare. We search for references, labels, connecting points. And that is precisely one of the things I like least about the music scene: that recurring question, “Who do you sound like?” or “Who do you remind me of?”

Comparison can quickly become a bias—a predisposition that shapes the way we listen. So, I’m going to try to break that bias: this song sounds great, period.

“Simulan Na” relies on a classic and effective musical structure, crafted to sustain a soaring, immersive dynamic. It conveys a festive and uplifting vibe; its rhythm and performance invite you to move, in a natural way achieving something that many musicians spend years chasing: the groove. That sweet spot where rhythm, delivery, and energy align, making the body respond almost instinctively. And anyone who makes music knows that’s no easy feat.

Now, for those who do enjoy comparisons, “Simulan Na” moves through territories close to alternative rock and Latin rock. Depending on each listener’s musical background, different echoes may surface: perhaps Red Hot Chili Peppers in certain rhythmic bass patterns; Blink-182 or Foo Fighters in the driving energy of the guitars and chorus; Maná drums; even Los Bunkers, in the blend of vocal melody, guitars and an organic performance style.

Ultimately, though, let every listener find their own references. What matters is that Tambiotics gives the song an identity of its own and, above all, makes you want to hit replay.

There isn’t much more to say: now it’s your turn to listen and draw your own conclusions… I’d like you share them in the comments.

Congratulations Tambiotics. Outstanding work. I’ve listened to your other songs, and every single one has a special charm. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you the very best in your musical journey.

May you travel the world doing what you love, fill stages, and live the dream that so many musicians chase and so few manage to reach. You have everything it takes to make it; I’m certain that someone with real “influence” will discover you, giving you the momentum to keep moving forward without ever stopping.

Keep up the hard work. Keep pushing, keep striving, and never give up!

    Senti-Ente, you are so right. They’ve got the groove thing down. And as we know, it’s all about the groove.
    I can’t understand the words of course but the phrasing of them fits into the music perfectly. Nice Review.

      the song is about starting a fun drinking session with friends. ‘Simulan Na’ basically says Let’s start drinking, gather up everybody with the drinks and pulutan(bar chow, finger food, or appetizers served with alcoholic drinks, though it can be a real meal too) Tonight, let’s forget about our problems and enjoy. Thats basically what the song means.

    I agree with the mental sorting we do that creates bias when we listen to new things. I’ve noticed that it doesn’t stop with ‘you sound like this artist’, but also with an era. ‘This sounds very 80’s’. It seems to be hard to explain things without drawing reference to what we feel other people know or recognize. I really appreciate the care you took with this review. And it is a damn good song.

    If there’s one thing IVE learnt it’s that, words are just part of the melody and instrumentals. I mean when artist are able to blend the two , we tend to forget about language barrier and we focus more on the connection.

    The blend of Modern Rock with a touch of Classic rock, gives this record an important bump and boost. Which draws more music lovers to the record.

    Great review!!!, the song is basically about drinking out with your friends. Describing a typical drinking session with friends marked with fun, laughter and ‘pulutan’ (bar chow, finger food, or appetizers served with alcoholic drinks although it can be sometimes a real meal). The energy and vibe definitely match the festive vibe.

    Un’analisi davvero azzeccata e appassionata! È raro trovare recensioni che riescano a catturare così bene l’essenza del groove e la vera energia di un brano senza cedere al limite delle solite etichette. Simulan Na trasmette carica fin dal primo secondo, ed è fantastico vedere valorizzata l’originalità dei Tambiotics. Ottimo supporto tra artisti.

    Great review and it’s a really good driving song that you can’t help but nod your head to.
    I agree about the ‘comparisons’ and whilst I fall into the trap of likening others to people I recognise I find it hard to compare my own and only compare other artists to established people as a nod of respect but ultimately everyone has their own distinctive sound.

    What a lovely review, Senti-Ente. Setting the comparisons aside and just letting a song be great is something every artist will recognise and appreciate. “Simulan Na” earns it: that “Sa-wa-lo-pat!” opening hooks you straight away, and the groove you describe is exactly what keeps pulling me back for another listen. Congratulations to Tambiotics. May this one travel far.

    Thanks Senti-Ente for taking the time to review “Simulan NA” by Tambiotics. I have to admit that I am someone who does use comparisons and reference points, whether that be music, films, or books. However, I don’t use it to “pigeon hole” an artist as in the vast majority of cases each has their own distinct sound and their tracks may vary to the point of expanding into different genre. It is still possible to enjoy the music as an individual creation.
    Listening to Simulan NA personally brings me back to an era around the late 70s early 80s where there was a range of alternative bands such as The Buzzcocks, The Clash, The Skids, The Jam, The Undertones etc with the energy that it transmits.

    Well written and appreciated. I agree, generalizing audio can be very insulting at times. Especially when the artist does not agree! This artist is a boss, hands down appreciated the sound. I loved some of the melodies and chord progressions so much I listened to several tracks. All were top notch productions. The review was on point and well received as well🏆 Muchas Gracias

    What stands out to me is how diverse the music featured here is. From energetic alternative rock to reflective instrumentals, every song seems to offer something different. I especially like how the reviews pay attention to the little things, whether it’s a catchy melody, a memorable guitar riff, or how the instruments alone can tell a story. It shows that music doesn’t always have to be complicated to leave an impression. Sometimes, all it takes is the right melody and a feeling you can’t quite put into words.

    Great song and review. I really loved the perspective you bring, and it makes me wonder about implicit bias. I personally think comparison can work in favor of a song too. for me if it gives me U2 vibes chances are I’m going to like it. Perhaps this bias can go both ways…certainly some songs have reminded me of terrible experiences and maybe those songs never get a chance?. Great thought and review!

    Offering an opinion on an artist and their music depends, fundamentally, on the musical immersion—the deep, lifelong engagement with music—that the person expressing the opinion has experienced. Naturally, this perspective is also shaped by their technical knowledge of recording, production, and post-production. Beyond that opinion—and separated by a very fine line—lie the artist’s or band’s own motivations, musical tastes, influences, sources of inspiration, daily routines, commitments, and the everyday challenges that can either hinder or propel the creation and production of a song—a process that, while it may seem easier today, is not always so… and, usually, when we offer an opinion, we are unaware of these underlying factors. That said, I believe the most fundamental and honest feedback a creator can receive about their work is a simple, direct: “I like it” or “I don’t like it.” Without a doubt, Tambiotics will receive plenty of “likes” along their musical journey.

    Spot-on review! That opening call of ‘Sa – wa – lo – pat!!!’ really sets the stage. You captured the essence of what makes ‘Simulan Na’ work so well—that effortless groove that just makes you move. It’s refreshing to see a review focus on the feeling of the music rather than just putting it in a box. Fantastic write-up and amazing support for Tambiotics!
