The same that comes preceded by their two previous albums: "Space age pop" (2013) and "La pequeña banda de lounge mas grande del mundo" (2004) that have led them to do great shows in Mexico as well as appearances on TV and participate in the Italian dock La douche party vol. 2.

TENKIU

https://tenkiu.bandcamp.com/track/playa-juventud

Tenkiu is a band formed in Mexico City at the end of 2021 by the need of 4 musicians to create songs and make them known after the frustrating pandemic period. Damiant Rasic, Daniel Gonzales alias "Danieloso", Juan Olmedillo and Fernando Villarruel alias "Fish" get together to make a repertoire of original songs with a sound that walks between the energy of the most classic rock, grooves close to hip hop and the melancholy of bolero, among other rhythms. An element to highlight of Tenkiu is that its members are of both Venezuelan and Mexican origin, which gives a particularity to their sound, in a special mix of diverse Latin American visions.

Their first single "Playa Juventud", which tells the sadness of the immigrant who misses his land while inviting to dance despite the sorrows.

"Playa Juventud" was recorded in February 2022 at Nueva York Studios, Mexico City.

Recorded and mixed by Jonathan Angarita
Guitars: Jonathan Angarita and Juan Olmedillo
Bass: Fernando "Fish" Villarruel

21 years of career, group that has made several international tours in more than twelve countries. The group's interest in Balkan rhythms was born from these trips. "It is part of the influence we have had from touring Europe. This year we add our eighth visit," assured the musicians who a few months ago performed 20 concerts between France, Germany, Czech Republic, England, Austria, Belgium and Holland.

La Pequeña Revancha:

The big surprise of 2013 in the Venezuelan music scene was a duo that was not even looking to surprise anyone. Claudia Lizardo, daughter of the great PTT Lizardo, teamed up with Juan Olmedillo, vocalist and guitarist of Los Mentas, and together they began an unpretentious journey through confessions and melancholic chords. They called this trance, which already generated a short-lived album called Falsos hermanos, La Pequeña Revancha.
