Introducing Karl Blau

Fallin' Rain

"Precious Life", produced with famed drummer Joey Waronker (Beck, Yeasayer, Atoms For Peace), is the the title track from Los Angeles songwriter AM out today. The drumming is raw, a treat for fans of Waronker’s playing and “Precious Life” captures sonically what it’s title suggests. The record is intimate, up close…even the groovers. You’re hearing the details clearly and, hopefully, appreciating the sensation.

AM summons a dreamy sound with Waronker behind the drums and the board, and with AM doing just about everything else on synths, bass, and guitar, the two carefully craft a record that is honest and emotional, yet swings and pulses. Music made for the headphones...the big ones that is.

Salsa del Zombie (Perseguido por alegres Buitres)

Bogota’s Meridian Brothers release their delightfully surreal and playful album ‘Deseperanza’ on 24th September on Soundway Records. Traditional instruments, electronics and distorted vocals are dragged through an array of influences to create a world that is as original as it is unclassifiable. 

Straddling the line between new and old, Meridian Brothers’ mischievous blend of Latin rhythms and psychedelic grooves is the creation of Eblis Álvarez, one of the key figures of the experimental music scene in Bogota. As with all of the Meridian Brother’s releases, every instrument on ‘Deseperanza’ was played and recorded by Eblis himself.

A true avant-garde guitar player and composer he also plays in Mario Galeano’s band Frente Cumbiero and was one of the 42 musicians involved in the recording of Ondatrópica, released this summer through Soundway Records.

Meridian Brothers started back in 1998 with Eblis experimenting with alternative ways of playing instruments and electronic media. Heavily influenced by Latin rock (Argentinian in particular) these early recordings were distributed by cassette on the underground music market in Bogota. It was in 1999, after joining Mario Galeano’s Ensamble Polifónico Vallenato that Eblis first became interested in the tropical music of Colombia and began working these new influences it in to the Meridian Brothers. 

Another key period is his development was his time spent in Denmark at the Royal Danish Academy of Music and the DIEM (Danish Institute of Electronic Music). It was during this stage Eblis started using more sophisticated and intricate techniques in both electronics and signal processing. 

Eblis returned to Bogota in 2008, joining a burgeoning music scene with cumbia, salsa and currulao all being explored by a new generation of Colombian musicians. 2009’s "Meridian Brothers VI” goes deep into tropical sounds of the 60s and 70s in Colombia and integrates other influences such as highlife, Ethiopian music, surf and Peruvian and Colombian cumbia.

It was around this stage that Meridian Brothers made their first appearances as a live band with Damien Ponce (Percussion), Maria Valencia (clarinet, saxophone and synthesizers), Alejandro Forero (Keyboards), Cesar Quevedo (bass) and Eblis Alvarez (vocals, guitar and electronics). 

In 2011 "Meridian Brothers VII" was released. The sound of this album returns to Latin American rock influences as well as champeta experiments, jazz, cumbia and tropical. Distorted sounds, electronic changes in voice, obscure surf guitar and randomly changed sampled percussion all collide head on. Two tracks from this record were released on 7” by New York label Names You Can Trust in 2012. 

Which bring us to ‘Desesperanza’ (meaning hopelessness in English) Recorded in 2012 the album is dedicated exclusively to salsa and tropical music, twisting it through a dark and theatrical soundscape but never abandoning the traditional aesthetics. 

A real musical maverick, labelled a genius by his contemporaries in Colombia, Eblis Álvarez’s latest Meridian Brothers album finally gets a full, worldwide release. 


Meridian Brothers - Salsa Caliente (Versión Aumentada)

Suit of armour is a track that I wrote when love and fear collided, and left me feeling confused and avoidant. It's a song that observes the reservations I have, when there is something potentially beautiful in front of me, and I look for the cracks and flaws, as a protective method to avoid pain. It is melancholic that the beauty of love is shadowed by so much skepticism and mistrust, but there is an optimistic message too. I have the power to move through the weight of these experiences, remove the armour, and eventually be more open to connection, in time.

“The beauty, cooperation & abundance found in nature embodies the earth’s deep love for us all. Each part of life sings it’s existence and contributes to this great love song! Bees pollinating flowers, whales singing to one another, even when one being dies to nourish another we see the cycles & interconnectedness of life. ‘Canta,’ meaning ‘Sing’ in Spanish, asks us to think deeply about what it truly means “to love” & implores us to do our part to care for all life, all earth, with our actions.” – Amo Amo

Canta la luna
Canta la vie
Once was an Eagle
Now is a bee

Canta el arbor
Canta la flor
Sing the whales
From the oceans core

“Love me the way you say you do
I’ll love you the way I say I do”

Once was a goat
Now a mountain lion
Such is the way
For all beings alive

Let there be death
Let there be birth
Such is the way
For all beings on earth

There’s still a little more room
Left in my heart for you yeah
So love me the way you say you do

🎧 Bienvenidas y bienvenidos a La Cápsula, un espacio dedicado a las mentes creativas que buscan inspiración y conexión en el vibrante mundo de la música, el arte y en impacto de la tecnología en la clase creativa de latinoamerica 🌟

Anteriormente conocido como Radio Cápsula, este proyecto nació en junio de 2004 en Bogotá. Durante 13 años, fue un refugio para la música electrónica, cumbia experimental y hip hop, un lugar donde artistas, compositores y productores de las urbes latinoamericanas encontraron una plataforma para difundir sus sonidos innovadores.

Desde transmisiones semanales en openserver.cccb.org hasta 24 horas de música en Giss.tv, y más tarde en servicios pago como Wavestreaming.com y Radio.co, Radio Cápsula fue un viaje musical sin igual.

🛑 En 2017, decidimos cerrar la etapa de Radio Cápsula y en el 2025 abrimos un nuevo capítulo: Radio Cápsula pero esta vez es un club de música. Encuentra más información en mixcloud.com/raadiocapsula.

📬 La Cápsula es más que música: es un encuentro de ideas, arte y expresiones que inspiran, conversan y conectan.
