LOCAL SOUNDTRACK 19: VOZ DE CAJÓN, Latin Jazz Trio
By: Fernanda Morales
Despite these rainy days, we bring you installment no. 19 of “Local Sondtrack,” a space where month after month we share with you the musicians who bring San Miguel de Allende to life with their diverse rhythms.
From “Raindog Lounge” we had a pleasant conversation with the members of “Voz de Cajón,” a trio band made up of Miguel Favero on percussion, Elicea Valdez on flute and vocals, and Federico Azuz on guitar and vocals.
The initial project was created 4 years ago, and its name was “Viento Sur,” with four members, bringing the artists together through Brazilian music.
As part of the story, Federico and Miguel had already been working together for a long time as a duo, and one day they met Elicea, originally from Argentina, who made a great contribution to their musical interpretations. In this way, they created a fusion of American rock, blues, and Central American rhythms.
“Voz de Cajón wraps you in a musical journey that leads you to experience the rhythms of Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, and many more countries, also including the band’s original music.”
If you ever want to hear this musical explosion created by “Voz de Cajón,” you can see them every Thursday at Raindog Lounge starting at 8:00 pm, on Fridays at “Conde,” and at different events announced across all their social media.
“What drives us is making music and making a living doing what we love, as well as conveying great emotions to people.”
A “Voz de Cajón” show is an exciting experience, since you’ll hear music you’ve never heard before, and it will make you get up from your seat to show off your best moves.
From the perspective of the three musicians, the music scene in San Miguel de Allende has become very strong and cosmopolitan; you can find great offerings in the bars.
“This city has grown a lot in the last 30 years; you can find all kinds of music, styles for every taste, even very high-level artists. The arrival of new blood also pushes us to change and develop,” Miguel said.
If you want to know more, follow these great artists on their social media so you can stay up to date on all their projects and upcoming performances.
We thank the members of “Voz de Cajón” for being part of this series of publications aimed at showcasing the musical talent found in San Miguel de Allende, and thank you very much for reading us. See you next time!
