dailyloe.com – Colombian band Morat is preparing for a landmark debut at the Coachella festival this Friday. The group also launches a major tour for its award-winning album. The tour begins in their hometown of Bogotá on August 14. It concludes with five shows in Buenos Aires this September.
The band members expressed excitement for their upcoming schedule. Juan Pablo Isaza, Juan Pablo Villamil, Simón Vargas, and Martín Vargas spoke about their plans. Their fifth album, ‘Ya es mañana’, is central to this activity. It won a Latin Grammy for Best Pop/Rock Album.
The album solidified Morat’s status in Latin American music. Its official presentation tour will visit several countries. The final concerts are set for Buenos Aires’ Movistar Arena. Shows are scheduled for September 24, 25, 26, 29, and 30.
Juan Pablo Isaza described the album’s musical inspiration. He called it their rockiest work to date. It references the Spanish rock bands that inspired them. Argentine artists like Soda Stereo were key influences.
‘We are huge fans of Spanish rock, particularly from Argentina,’ Isaza said. ‘Soda Stereo, Charly García, and Andrés Calamaro are major references for us.’ He stated they needed to record an album inspired by that sound. They aimed to blend it with their personal touch.
Simón Vargas explained the album’s nostalgic direction. He said it was an inevitable result of their honesty. It connects to the era in which they were born. The process involves growing up and reevaluating the past.
‘The message of *Ya es mañana* points to growth,’ Vargas stated. It emphasizes that time is limited. One must act in the present to shape the future. The most honest version of themselves resembles their early inspirations.
Some critics have called it Morat’s ‘most Argentine’ album. Juan Pablo Villamil agreed completely with that assessment. He highlighted Argentina’s strong musical tradition. The band’s deep connection to that sound is evident.
The band’s upcoming Coachella performance marks a significant international step. Their extensive tour will promote the celebrated album. The Buenos Aires residency highlights their strong connection to Argentine fans. The group is poised for a busy period of global performances.[]
