A Kay from Calicanto EP by Badelll
In Wayuunaiki, "Kai" means "sun".
Imagine diving into the Caribbean Sea and discovering Ricardo Villalobos, José González, and Harold Budd trapped in a submarine.
The music of a wide range of contemporary creators such as Akufen, Herbert, Bruno Pronsato, Jan Jenilek, Harold Budd, Ricardo Villalobos, and Flabbergast has served as inspiration.
This work is heavily influenced by Caetano Veloso, Gustavo Cerati, Cheo Pardo, Eduardo Mateo, Brian McBride, Marc Ribot, Luis Alberto Spinetta, and Julio d'Escrivan.
