Cabezas de Cera
With more than 17 years of activity, Cabezas de Cera has a long standing reputation as one of the most iconic avant-garde rock Mexican bands. They have recorded independently 8 discs and 2 DVDs and performed in forums and festivals from Europe, Asia, and America. The sound projected in the music of CDC is defined by the combination of an unconventional instrumentation and unique instruments created by the percussionist of the group. This is what provides their unique, experimental and contemporary sound; at a time, a regional and universal sound which finds a balance between the acoustic and the electronic.
Hermandad is the most recent project of this band. In this production, CDC goes deeper in its creative exploration and considers all potential of sounds through these unique and characteristic instruments created in metal.
With a variety of technologies, electronic processing in real time, live looping and a rich variety of timbres, this duo creates sound spaces where musics from all times are united in interpretive freedom, full of wide passageways and vast instrumentation.
Their shows seduce the spectators’ senses, especially the eyes and ears, since you will be able to recognize a variety of unique instruments on stage, made in metal, created by Francisco Sotelo.
For this special performance at Seaprog, Cabezas will be joined by Eblen Macari, a Mexican guitarist with Lebanese roots who has been recognized because of his very personal way of introducing soundscapes and processes on acoustic guitar.
Personnel:
- Francisco Sotelo — Electronic and acoustic drums, Kitai drum, live looping
