String Textures

In All This Heavy Blue

Barranco is a small, lovely district in Lima, Peru, known for its artistic and bohemian atmosphere. I started frequenting its neighborhoods around the time I began my music studies at university. I remember visiting with Jose Antonio the home of Chilean poet Pancho Casas, eating lunch and drinking wine on his balcony with a view to the pacific ocean while listening to Chabuca Granda on YouTube, and then the three of us going to exhibitions at fancy art galleries. There was a beautiful cafe called Bisetti, where I tried french press, chemex and cold brew for the first time, which made me fall in love with coffee, but that is a story for another day. 

I remember, too, spending an entire summer with Paula attending an art performance workshop where we met the most peculiar people. I would often go to Burrito Bar with Estefanía and order vegetarian tacos —the best ones in the city— and lemonade, and then walk together around Barranco, exploring its shops. That is how we came across El GATO TULIPÁN, my favorite place in the world. Owned by Patricio and Pilar, it is an art gallery, cafe, music venue, and bar, all at once, and it is full of cats. I played my first show ever there, as well as my last one before moving to Europe. I worked there for a couple of years, too, which allowed me to meet some lovely humans from around the world and to live beautiful experiences, all of that while serving coffee and passion fruit (maracuyá) juice.
