Ocean Breeze — Joe Hijuelos

“Where blues meets the tropics.”

Ocean Breeze is the debut single by Cuban-born artist Joe Hijuelos, blending soulful blues
guitar, Latin rhythm, and tropical ambiance with a nostalgic ’80s solo vibe. The track flows like
a warm coastal breeze — smooth, melodic, and cinematic — evoking sunsets, reflection, and
the calm of the ocean after a long day.
Crafted with a mix of vintage and modern gear, Ocean Breeze features the 1991 Les Paul
Classic delivering rich, expressive leads, the Roland System-8 adding lush synth textures, the
Roland TR-909 providing classic retro drum grooves, and the Roland VT-4 shaping
atmospheric vocal tones. Together, they create a timeless soundscape where blues meets
the tropics with an ’80s heart.
