LULACRUZA: Rooted Luminous Songs Unfolding In Sonic Landscapes

LULACRUZA is an electronic folk duo operating at the junction of the hypermodern and the ancient. Their music weaves together hypnotic female singing, South American instruments, found sound objects, field recordings and electronic manipulation. Lulacruza is made up of Alejandra Ortiz (Colombia) and Luis Maurette (Argentina). Alejandra is an extraordinary songbird and plays the Colombian cuatro, shruti box, tar and kalimba, while Luis Maurette complements with electronic processing and sequencing, as well as percussion, charango and Amazonian flutes.

“For Luis Maurette and Alejandra Ortiz, music is a test of the human spirit, of nature, and of ephemeral concepts of reality. Through live drumming and digitally altered hooks, the group manages to create a
sound that challenges what we expect from contemporary music.” – SF Bay Guardian

“Now that the novelty phase of Electrolatino fusion has passed and most of the faux-ethnic, cut-and-paste Snoozedelica can safely be moved to the recycle bin, a new generation of artists is finding newer,
subtler ways of merging traditional Latin American songwriting with subtly electronic production.” Phillip Sherburne – Earplug
