MONOPHONICOS PRESSKIT (ENGLISH VERSION)
Remember that sound?; those lovely melodies that came from an old radiola and gramophones of our grandparents.
We live the present, but our hearts belong to an era when the music was a poem and the sound was reproduced in "MONOPHONICO".
"Monophonicos" is a music project that mixes electronic beats and digitalized surrounding ambients with vintage sounds of our latin culture.
The Bolero, Porro, Son Cubano, Cumbia, Mambo and all those genres that where popular in past decades, are the musical bases of our submission.

MONOPHONICOS PRESSKIT (ENGLISH VERSION)
Remember that sound?; those lovely melodies that came from an old radiola and gramophones of our grandparents.
We live the present, but our hearts belong to an era when the music was a poem and the sound was reproduced in "MONOPHONICO".
"Monophonicos" is a music project that mixes electronic beats and digitalized surrounding ambients with vintage sounds of our latin culture.
The Bolero, Porro, Son Cubano, Cumbia, Mambo and all those genres that where popular in past decades, are the musical bases of our submission.
VINTAGE SOUND, IS IT EXTINCT?
The music of 5 or 6 decades ago used to have a particular sound; the exaggerated change in technology, makes us highly miss old formats and techniques. The way the music used to be recorded, transmitted and reproduced is a concept that we embody in this project.
Our production keeps samples of these old original recordings, making new music pieces with an old memory relief, making the audience to travel literally to the past.
TARGET : from 00 - to 100 years old.
"Monophonicos" was made for a big range of ages, it makes young people dance a "BOLERO" or a "PORRO", as well as makinga the grown up enjoy contemporary electronic rhythms like hip hop, break beats, house and chill out.
It is an infinite fusion, but the original mentality of this new genre is to keep the essential of delicious vintage sounds and make them subtly fit in to the new musical era.
YEAR 2013:
The project is in mastering process of the new EP "LONG PLAY DIGITAL" witch will be distributed by the legendary Colombian Label "Discos Fuentes" at the end of this year.
The band is leaded by Charlie Illera (producer & dj) and Sarah Sophia (lead vocals), they both from Barranquila, a caribbean city from the North Coast of COLOMBIA, city where a lot of famous music artists came from. They both own a long trajectory in electronic and tropical music respectively. The project is complemented with a team of professional musicians from (El Huila), Colombian department where a strong scene of folk COLOMBIAN music lies. This mix of talent from different parts of Colombia, makes a very interesting live show proposal.
THE END OF THE YEAR:
Their vintage sounds mixed with electronic music, overpassed all the unexpected, just when it was thought there was a limit for them, they got on a trip 180 degrees thru UNITED ARAB EMIRATES and their first stop is at DUBAI. Monophonicos, is described by experts and critics as elegant, glam and vanguardist, they could´t have a better scenery to close the year 2013 but the most luxury city in the world.
"CONRAD-HILTON" brought them from Colombia To Dubai to have them performing 20 shows at "IZEL" witch is the most FAMOUS and glamorous latin Bar-Restaurant in the city.
