Mixtape #39 by Jhon Montoya

@montoyamusic is a colombian violinist and composer. Since 2001 he lives in Italy His sound research led him to combine electronic experimentation with classical structures.After the albums ‘El viaje’ and ‘Mohs’ (edited by Fábrica), his turning point arrived with ‘IWA’, a record produced by italian label White Forest Records. That new music path reflects the soul of this artist, who’s able to bring the essence of the mountains of the Andes to Europe and at the same time, to reunite the popular and tribal tradition, mixing carefully his culture with the european tradition. His music is a fusion of contrasts and refined new combinations, full of wet colors derived from the Latin American culture and mingle with Western rationalism. The short-circuit becomes more evident by the careful selection of electronic sounds and melodies in a constant clash of rhythms and traditions. The particular texture that gives the violin adds to a rich soundscape tribal chants that come from the heart of the jungle.
