The project

Balanga Raba is Rico Dalasam's second EP, released on July 21, 2017, with four tracks. The art direction and design started from one reference: the retro-futuristic visuals of the 80s.

Concept

The project combines neon colors, gradients, typography and textures. The result alternates a black background, neon pink lines and warm gradients, applied to the cover, the EP logo and the photo compositions.
