KEKO YOMA Electronic Press Kit - 2015

The live show is an internal trance healing therapy pro-voked by the deranged musical loops of their songs. It offers messages that can be eye opener to a more criti-cal point of view -but not negative- about the society.

They enchant the audience with their charisma, sense of humor and the theatricallity of the show. They end up captivating the people when you see the whole venue integrated in a party in which everyone, without dis-crimination, is invited.

Keko Yomas sound is global and very hard to put in simple words. Their songs are festive, provocative, psy-chedelic, tribal, conscious and are interpreted by a clas-sic rock quartet with percussions, keyboards, brass, didgeridoo, trompes, Colombian bagpipes, trutuca, Tar-ka, pifilka, synthesizers, electronic effects and the pub-lics energy, among others. It is a live experience which should be appreciated as such.

Keko Yoma is an intense party. A spiritual arenga connects to your most primitive feelings.

It has been 10 years of endless trips around the world, participating in important festivals such as Rock For People, Lollapalooza, Quito Fest and Vive Latino. They have been accumulating more than 600 concerts and

their energy is far from extinguishing.

In 2014, Keko Yoma celebrated their 10th anniversary which began with the release of Propaganda -their third album- in a sold out La Batuta, one of the biggest milestones of the year. They also toured Ecuador and Colombia as part of their participation in Quito Fest.

By 2015, the band plans to start a new tour which will include Chile, Europe and Latin America. Dates are being booked at present.

On the other hand, Keko Yoma is working in the FWRIA project -or the Keko Yoma Academy-, consisting of meeting new young musicians from different cities to exchange experiences about how they manage to survive and become independent artists at the same time.

Colaborations

PropagandaThird LP by Keko Yoma, national quintet that has remained in action from a decade until now, assuming the productive and creative autonomy with very good results. Just one glance to their movements is enough to understand that, al-though at some point they were seen as a band with massive projections, they chose to stay in the other side of the road. At their own rhythm and motivations, their motivation is the joy of travel-ling and playing music, which had led them to several places in America and Europe, embracing

everything that comes within.

Is very pleasant to know that Propaganda is more mature in content. From humoristic moments found in El ms wen de los caminos (2008) and Bienvenidos al Sur (2010), that threw overboard some interesting explorations, to this day, we found more content in the lyrics, better focus in the criticism, and a better -at times- treatment of the good vibe pachanga. You cant talk about Keko Yoma and not talk about pachanga.

Statistically, something worth mentionting has happened. A balance has ocurred amongst the dancing like songs and the rock (or punk). Cabaret, Pyta Giro and Resiste, each of them from different styles, unfold as cos-mopolitan and powerful. While Berlin is very local, a critique to the Special Forces Police in a soul funk cadence. That is, projections in all directions.

Congratulations. Keko Yoma is starting to accomplish great-er balance and a significant weight according to a handful of more restrained, thoughtful and mature songs, without giving up the festive purpose. It is quite the opposite. Today, not one song unfolds tacky or cheap humor. This means a more potent and coherent message entrenched in rhythms that are always first focused on the body.

Again, it is important to talk about Renato Pizarros guitar work. In Propaganda and Querer, he brings discret resonances that nourish the nuances. Additionally, songs like Pill a pap and Calor are very interesting because are minimalists in meaning but are also focused in developing into a circular (punk) rock that flirts with the pshychedelia by repetitive means, although in bouncy key. Towards the end, -as previous albums- there is room for a slower song, where Fernando Reyes phrasing gives voice to the remark-ably melodic ability of the band in the song La guitarra, a unique waltz with appearing chinese flutes.
