New album out NOW on Tzadik Records
Witch 'n' Monk (formerly Bitch 'n' Monk) is the twinning of Colombian rebel flutist Mauricio Velasierra and British anarchic soprano and guitarist Heidi Heidelberg. Bring together an unusual set of instruments; traditional Latin American flutes, unconventional vocals, electric guitar and bespoke electronics, they create a sound that is defiantly their own.

The essence of their collaboration is encapsulated in the name; dark and light, feminine and masculine, punk and Romantic, free-form and intricately composed. Exploring extremes and creating contrast is fundamental to their work and thus they tread upon the edges of genres.

Celebrated in the jazz and contemporary classical sphere and embrace by the DIY and underground music scenes they have played across the UK and Europe, at prestigious venues and festivals such the Royal Festival Hall (UK), La Cigale (FR), Bimhuis (NL), ParadoxTilburg (NL), Dunkers Kulturhus (SE), London Jazz Festival, Manchester Jazz Festival and Umea Jazz Festival. But they have also been found performing avant-garde film scores at communist Italian skateparts or among the thorn bushes in overgrown East London gardens.

"Ingenious...You’ll spend a while pondering how to classify them – prog folk? Operatic post-punk? Gothic reggae? – but they know how to write melodies." - The Guardian

"Exquisite. A kaleidescope of musical forms" - Max Reinhardt, BBC Radio 3
 
"A poison apple sound of jazz, folk and classical [...] One bite of this will send you into a lovesick coma and give you an electrifying kiss of life all at once." - The Quietus
