From the underwater soundscape of a mangrove forest in Mexico to the musical heights of Los Glaciares Park in Argentina, and from the lushness of beats of the Canadian Pacific Coast woodland to the melodies of a Polish one, El Búho has made room and sheltered nature into his remarkable brand-new...
With Liraz there are no half measures and once she’s on stage, you end up following her unconditionally. You are initially tantalised by her glittery electro-pop world by the Middle Eastern-scented aromatic vibes of her tunes, then she entraps you in it with her stage presence, dedication and social commitment...
