The sudden death of her father triggered Gabriela’s desire to look closely into the continuum of existence. By placing his ashes under a high powered microscope, she made the first step into a fascinating and beautiful art project. What she found was that science doesn’t provide all the answers. There are many ways to observe and analyze our everlasting existence. Life and death are just concepts and trust us you will fall in love with Gabriela’s interpretation.

Gran Sur

Banda

Incontables son las bandas que los músicos crean para hacer algo distinto a lo que hacen con su proyecto principal. Así es como lo hicieron esta vez con Gran Sur; una banda conformada por Sofi Mayen, Javier Ramirez conocido como El Cha!, Iñaki Vazquez y Elohim Corona. Gran sur es un proyecto que tenían en un principio Cha e Iñaki desde hace años. Tenían una idea de lo que querían, pero no sabían qué tipo de canciones querían y no fue hasta que los invitaron a hacer un tributo a Frank Sinatra que decidieron darle forma al proyecto y me invitaron a colaborar en un cover a “Something Stupid“. Ahí me dijeron que querían formar una banda, pero aún no tenían nombre ni canciones.
