Broz Rodríguez & Franklyn Brooks revive “Solamente Una Vez” for the dancefloor

With “Solamente Una Vez”, Broz Rodríguez pays homage to one of the most beloved songs in Mexican music history while staying true to his identity as a DJ and producer rooted in the club. Taking Agustín Lara’s timeless classic as a starting point, he invites Franklyn Brooks to bring the magic of his trumpet into the arrangement, preserving the song’s romantic core and nostalgia while reframing it for late-night sound systems and festival stages.

Driven by a powerful groove, enveloping synth work, and Brooks’ expressive trumpet lines weaving around the vocal, this new take on “Solamente Una Vez” feels both familiar and daring. It’s a track designed for those moments when the dancefloor collectively sings along, connecting generations of listeners through a melody that has lived for decades, now recontextualized in a modern electronic language.

The release arrives as Broz Rodríguez continues to expand his footprint as one of the key Mexican figures in the current Latin electronic wave. Between his steady output on XDM Records, his performances across major clubs and festivals in Mexico and Latin America, and his ongoing mission to bring classic Latin songwriting into contemporary dance music, “Solamente Una Vez” stands out as a statement piece that celebrates heritage while pushing the sound forward—with Franklyn Brooks’ trumpet adding a distinctive live spark to the mix.
