The new single “Frio” will be out on March 11th. The song was written as a way to cope with the chaotic Texas winter storm of 2021. It was inspired by the consequences of being without the basic services we all take for granted, as well as serving as a methaphor about how vulnerable we can become when, for different reasons, we get apart from our loved ones, whom are often taken for granted.
The song was recorded at “The Kitchen Studios” in Austin TX; written, performed and produced by Mauricio Callejas between February 2021 and February 2022. Will be released on Friday March 11th and distributed on all streaming platforms.
New version of La Contestadora! Teresita and I wrote this song off an spontaneous play on words more than a decade ago. This song was published in my 2012 album called “Helado Pop”. A couple of years ago, the band “Vibrass Ska Ensamble” came from El Salvador to Austin to play a festival, and we made some time to record the brass section of a future version of “La Contestadora”. This new version is now a reality, it gets inspiration from the sound of those legendary cumbia orchestras from El Salvador, I hope you like it!
Hace unos meses me enteré con sorpresa que mi cancion “Primero Vos”, había sido adoptada como tema para un programa de #radio en #Argentina que coincidentemente se llama “Primer Sos Vos”. La productora del programa Lilián Etel Fadel inició la búsqueda del autor de la canción, me localizó a través de mi página de YouTube e hicimos esta #entrevista que se acaba de transmitir en Radio Crisol y en NCO Radio. Muy agradecido por el espacio, aquí el extracto de la entrevista
