Lengualerta ADD

Lengualerta is a project focused on awareness and social transformation through music and poetry of his lyrics. Lengualerta infuses elements from the Jamaican Sound System culture of the 60's, (where the selecter, or DJ and singer are the main pieces) with Latin American protest song tradition whose lyrics reflect social and political commitment.

Lengualerta began his solo career path almost a decade ago; after collaborating with several bands including Tijuana No, one of the most influential rock ska bands from Mexico from the 90's.

Either with a selecter or with a backing band, Lengualerta has toured Mexico, South America, Canada and Europe, bringing a positive and constructive message, a festive rebellion that invites us to reflect our human essence on a trail of reggae, dub, raggamuffin and hip hop.

In 2010 he released his first full-length album, "Resonante", for which he received two nominations and was awarded one INDIE-O Music Award.

With a distinctive vocal style that ranges between raggamuffin, neo soul and melodic rap, Lengualerta has collaborated with over 15 different recording projects in the last three years, "Postdata" by Akil Ammar (Mexico), "Aldaketa" by Bad Sound System (Basque Country) and "V " Fusion Square Garden (Switzerland), to name a few. In addition, he has shared the stage with artists such as Manu Chao, Sargento Garcia, Dr. Ring Ding and Fermin Muguruza.

In 2011, he joined Aho Colectivo, a multidisciplinary approach that integrates musicians, photographers, videographers, and graphic designers to address social struggles in defense of the land and its natural resources.

The newest album, "Aurora", is being released this summer. It includes collaborations from musicians such as Ryan Moore (Twilight Circus), Andrea Echeverri (Colombia/Aterciopelados), Fermin Muguruza and Bad Sound System (Basque Country), Bungalo Dub (Mexico) and TianoBless (Chile).
