Colombian musicians Andrea Echeverri and Hector Buitrago, Aterciopelados, who won 2001 Latin Grammy(r) for one of the most sublime alternative latin albums in recent memory, Gozo poderoso (Powerful Joy)and were cited by Time Magazine as one of the ten best bands of the year.
Colombia's Aterciopelados (the Velvety Ones) weave an eclectic mix of sounds into a musical experience inspired by their passion for experimentation and love of a joyously rich musical heritage. Andrea Echeverri's poetic, socially conscious lyrics and Hector Buitrago's knack for creating a musical melting pot of Latin rhythms, Colombian folk, and electronic sensibilities which define their style.
Echeverry is one of the few wellknown female voices in Spanish-language alternative music, and over the years she has acquired a pseudo-diva status in the alterna-crowd in Colombia and in the rest of Latin America.
The duo's lyrics reflect an optimistic belief that music outlives any war. Echeverry says, in difficult situations where people are tormented, artists create things more emotively than in places that are stable.
