ABOUT THIS BAND

Bogota's the Meridian Brothers are the creation of Eblis Álvarez, who writes, arranges, produces, plays, and sings everything on their recordings, though when the band plays live he is aided by other musicians. Their music is almost unclassifiable, a bracing meld of electronic and organic instruments, influenced by Latin rock, psychedelia, Frank Zappa, The Residents, modern vanguard electronic music, and South American and Caribbean folk traditions and rhythms.   Created in Bogota, Colombia in 1998, Álvarez, the son of biologists, was a key mover in the city's experimental music scene. He was heavily influenced by psychedelic Latin rock -- primarily from Argentina -- and was seeking new ways of melding instrumental playing with electronic production techniques.
