VELORIO was formed in January of 2007 by Ben Gomez, Alvaro Caceres and Eric Powers. Providence led to the encounter of musicians from their past, whom demonstrate that same passion and ideology for their distinct sound. As the dedication made way to progress, Maltratos was born.
Determined to extend themselves to as many people as possible, more members began to emerge. It was then that the band named Maltratos changed to VELORIO: Explosive Latin percussion motifs and meticulously placed rhythms, with melodies that have sparked interest in a wide audience demographic.
To describe the sound of VELORIO is intrinsically difficult through mere letters. VELORIO is an eclectic amalgamate of lives, manifested through musical styles, cultures, and tastes. Each song is an aspect of its members' collective life, not merely written and composed…every melody is a memory.
VELORIO se formó en Enero del año 2007, por Ben Gomez, Alvaro Caceres y Eric Powers. La prudencia los llevó al encuentro de músicos del pasado, quienes demostraron la misma pasión e ideología por su sonido distinto, tanto como su dedicación hizo camino al progreso y… Maltratos nació.
Determinados a extenderse al toda la mas gente posible, más miembros empezaron a surgir. Fue cuando la banda nombrada Maltratos… cambió a… VELORIO; Y surgieron motivos explosivos percusión latina, junto a su meticuloso ritmo y melodías, provocando así un interés demográfico con una amplia audiencia.
Para describir el sonido de VELORIO, es esencialmente difícil de describirlo en simples palabras, sobre todo VELORIO es (electico) una reunión de elementos del pasado, creando un nuevo estilo y uniendo nuevas vidas, manifestado a través de su estilo musical y cultural. Cada canción, es el aspecto de una vida colectiva de sus miembros, no solamente escritas y creadas sino qué… cada melodía es una memoria.
"Thanks Velorio for taking the time to talk to this crazy person. It was a fun interview, all the facts about Cumbia Water were so interesting" ---- Radio Interview with Pirate Cat Radio 87.9fm
