“We set, apart from delivering a powerful message, create dynamics and sensations so that the experience of listening to Kelu Reggae is a journey”, said its vocalist, Erik Marchant.
The band from Villa Alemana Kelu Reggae takes a very important step in his career by presenting his first EP, homonymous name, thus capturing his music in this work developed in recent months.
The production of five songs has roots reggae as its general framework, although accompanied by fusions of rock and jazz and other musical currents that give it a special and striking sound..
“In this short year that passed we realized how we wanted to transmit this intellectual and sound message, loaded with experiences, of rage and emotions, due to a pandemic, outburst and personal situations”, He said Erik Marchant, group vocalist.
El EP Kelu Reggae, available on the group's digital platforms from 12 of May, includes the songs “Time Changes”, “walking distance”, “An Ideal Space”, “I Loose My Roots” Y “Feel it”, the latter in collaboration with Mc Jona.
“We set, apart from delivering a powerful message, create dynamics and sensations so that the experience of listening to Kelu Reggae is a trip to our memories, sensations and questions that we experience in our lives. I think that this reason means that everyone's entire experience is put into each instrument and musical note., from a sincere joint creation”, Marchant said..
