Gepe - Talented artist from Chile
10:00 AM
Gepe - Por la ventana from paniko on Vimeo.
This is the song that is playing in my iPod non-stop! Enjoy!
From Santiago, Chile is were Daniel Riveros is from, and he goes by the stage name of Gepe. His music is a mix of folklore, pop and electric, and I simply love the way this is done. Folklore is given a new life, and a fresh beginning. He has a metaphor for what he does with music. He compares music to a house that is built, but later remodeled. The remodeling keeps the original foundation, but a new roof is added, yet the home is kept in it's original neighborhood. He has been influenced by; Beach Boys, Smashing Pumpkins, Gastr del Sol, Sonic Youth, Swans, Yo La Tengo, Animal Collective, Kings of Convenience, and not to mention the roots of Chilean music like Viota Parra, Víctor Jara.
