Un proyecto nacido de la esquizofonia, el canibalismo cultural y el nomadismo del musico y productor colombiano Ivan Benavides, reconocido por sus trabajos con BLOQUE, SIDESTEPPER y CARLOS VIVES, asi como por su incursion en diferentes generos y colaboracion con diferentes artistas en Latinoamerica, Estados Unidos y Europa.
El mestizaje sonoro, los cruces de caminos, la transgresion, la conexion trans-cultural, la identidad multiple, la paradoja, y el sentido existencial de la musica hacen parte de una estetica que no es la simple mezcla de latinidad y nuevas tendencias, sino una ruta de exploracion por un exhuberante y caleidoscopico mundo sonoro-poetico, rompiendo las fronteras entre generos, redefiniendo el dialogo centro-periferia, y escarbando en las preguntas que nos hacemos acerca de la vida y la sociedad caotica en que vivimos.
Lo que dice la critica acerca de Ivan Benavides:
"El mas notorio productor, musico y compositor de su pais"
Zona de Obras.
"un 'frontman' que irradia carisma, sarcasmo y agudeza"
Chicago Tribune.
"meditaciones incitantes y rasgadas"
New York Times.
"fuertes como sus interpretaciones en el escenario -provocativas y sardonicas-, asi tambien es la forma de escribir canciones de Benavides"
Daily News.
Ivan Benavides a.k.a Buenavida, is a colombian squizhophonic, nomad, cannibal musician and producer, best known for his job with CARLOS VIVES , BLOQUE and SIDESTEPPER, and his skills surfing through different genres, from electronics to rock or traditional music, with different artists in Latinamerica, USA and Europe.
Cross-cultural connections, sonic hybrids, multiple identities, crossroads, paradoxes, and an existential sense of music, are part of an esthetic, that doesn't simply blend latin music and new trends; he uses them as springboards into a wild prismatic world of sound and poetry, breaking the boundaries between genres, looking for a new center-periphery possible dialog, and scratching in the misteries of life and the mess of the society we live in.
