Bogotá born, Buenos Aires bred, Berlin grown and now calling Amsterdam her home. She say her travels have brought her closer to both her Latin American roots and a borderless exploration of global sounds. When playing, Lola invokes landscapes, animals & rituals of her homeland Colombia – a country rich in Amazonian, Andean, Afro and Arab musical legacies. Her electronic sound is for that exact same reason a profound journey of melodies, a playground of rhythms going beyond genres and boundaries.
What was the thinking behind this mix?
Taking inspiration from the idea of Light and Darkness, I wanted to use sounds and rhythms that are closely related to me as an artist but would have a rather odd and experimental twist to it – resulting in a rather dark, deep and unexplored territory for me as a DJ. However, there is a common thread that makes the mix still very mine: the ubiquitous presence of warm vocals, cajones and djembes.
