Биография

After 6 years of watching the world from Madrid, in which he had the chance to learn first-hand the methods of Thundercat, Dorian Concept or Matias Aguayo at the RBMA, play Sonar Barcelona, Reykjavik and Bogotá and shine his light on beloved indie outfit's Hola a Todo el Mundo's final lineup, Colombian artist Julián Mayorga has started a journey back to the imposing musical heritage of his native Ibagué. 'Cuando tengo fiebre veo la cabeza de un leopardo magnífico' (When I have fever I see the head of a magnificent leopard) is the latest stop in a journey that started last year with 'Islas Atlánticas', an album/book created with Andrés Gualdrón, and La fiesta de transmigración EP, if anything the acoustic reverse of this new LP. Half surreal poetry, half machine, a magic atmosphere flows through CTFVCLM. The electricity of Julián's guitars and keyboards float suspended in it's own particular way, like Miles' lines on In A Silent Way - a way that longs for home, roots, the jungle, and in the process gives cumbia and Colombianism a new and updated meaning in what is the most complete and mature piece of work in his career so far. Co-produced between Julián and Javi Álvarez (Fluzo, Duo Cobra) and mastered by Damian Schwartz, the record features collaborations with Eblis Álvarez (Meridian Brothers, Los Pirañas) and Severine Beata, and is available via Giradiscos and Lago/Cráter.
