Esperando el tsunami: Ataque de risa

Aterciopelados, is Colombia’s emblematic rock band. Since 1990, Hector Buitrago and Andrea Echeverri have developed a unique musical approach, which draws both from their Latin American roots and from contemporary influences. Their line of work is marked by the conceptual content of their songs and the recovery of the ritual dimension of music.

In these 20 years of experimentation and construction of their musical identity, they have given birth to 10 albums: Con El Corazon En La Mano (1993), El Dorado (1994), La Pipa De La Paz (1996), Caribe Atomico (1998), Gozo Poderoso (2000), Evolucion-Grandes Exitos (2002), Andrea Echeverri (2004), Conector (2005), Oye (2007), Rio (2009).

They are activily engaged in ancestral, environmental, anti-war and pro-feminine issues, having been the first Colombian band to publicly support indigenous medicine. They have received two Grammy awards.
