Reflections about music and society in Colombia. The role of 'Chonta Dura' music from the Pacific region of Colombia in founding a sound identity.
Living in Europe since 2009, I worked in Spain, France, Italy, and Germany, as a composer, music producer, and arranger collaborating with artists linked to traditional Latin American music. I helped to open new possibilities for innovative sounds, with different groups and artists such as La Gozadera, Nega Lucas, Camdombre Tierra, Chonta Dura, and Sones de Marimba.
Arrangement for Marta Mattotti
In recent years I have began interdisciplinary collaborations with artists in the environments of dance, theater, video, and film.
This has given me the opportunity to explore a new dimension of creative work in which I am interested continuing to deepen and for which I am in permanent look for collaborations.
In 2020 I co-founded the Cistifellea Collective, together with director and media artist Elena Tilli where I actively participate as sound designer and live musician in the performances we create. With Cistifellea I designed work such as Asuntos Humanos (2021), El Silencio No Existe (2020), and Agresion y Dignidad (2022). The work is been presented in Barcelona in public theaters
