Originally the band was to be called Mannahatta (land of many hills), the word used by the Lenni Lenape to describe Manhattan before the European invasion, or Sigue la Sombra de mi Bebe, which is a verse in a song by Charly Garcia (Promesas sobre el Bidet) but the former is a bit fake, because despite having lived two years in NYC, Moon Baillie is not a new yorker, and the second a bit complicated for Americans. Impossible to pronounce, let alone understand. Pampa (Lowland without tree vegetation) as Mannahatta, is an Indian word (Quechua) describing the wilderness, in a native language. 
Pampa started in the mind of Moon Baillie around 2013, after spending 3 months in Argentina, something he had not done since 1996. Swimming in questions like" where to fit in this northwestern society, and, if there is a place, where is it?" he did what he does; write songs about life. This songs document times. I mean, they have structures, formulas, esoteric reasonings, but they capture a mood in its inception. Moon Baillie was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He now is a documented American. In his path he writes a story. Those stories are the fabric of his culture, and PAMPA is a journey that describes his modern American experience.

Originalmente la banda se iba a llamar Mannahatta(tierra de muchas colinas), la palabra usada por los Lenni Lenape para describir a Manhattan antes de la invasion europea, o Sigue la Sombra de mi Bebe, que es una estrofa en una canción de Charly Garcia (Promesas sobre el Bidet) pero la primera es un poco careta, porque a pesar de haber vivido dos años en NYC, Moon Baillie no es un new yorker, y el segundo un poco complicado para los yanquis. Imposible pronunciarlo, y menos comprenderlo. Pampa(llanura o planicie sin vegetación arbórea), como Mannahatta, es un palabra indígena (quechua) que describe las tierras vírgenes, en un lenguaje originario. PAMPA comenzó a materializarse en la mente de Moon Baillie alrededor de 2013, después de pasar 3 meses en Argentina, algo que no había hecho desde el 96’. Nadando en preguntas como "¿dónde caber en esta sociedad norteamericana siendo latino, y, si hay un lugar, ¿dónde está?” hizo lo que hace; escribir canciones sobre la vida. Estas canciones documentan momentos. O sea, tienen estructuras, fórmulas, razonamientos esotéricos, pero mas que nada, capturan emociones. Moon Baillie nació en Buenos Aires, Argentina, y vive en Seattle, USA. En su camino, escribe una historia. Esas historias son la tela de su cultura, y PAMPA es un viaje que describe su experiencia americana contemporánea.
