Meridian Brothers is a Colombian cumbia / Latin fusion / experimental group that is led by *a2058501*. Known for their unique sound, the band combines various genres to create music that is both captivating and innovative. *a2058501* composes and records all of the Meridian Brothers' music, showcasing his exceptional talent as a musician. When performing live shows, he brings together a talented group of performers to bring his compositions to life.

Inspired by artists such as Frente Cumbiero, Julián Mayorga, and Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto, Meridian Brothers have carved out their own distinct style in the music industry. Their eclectic mix of influences creates a truly original sound that sets them apart from other bands in the genre.

With a discography that includes albums like "Desesperanza" and "Los Suicidas," Meridian Brothers have gained recognition both locally and internationally. Their music has been praised for its experimental nature and ability to push boundaries within traditional genres.

straddling the line between new and old, meridian brothers' mischievous blend of latin rhythms and psychedelic grooves is the creation of eblis lvarez, one of the key figures of the experimental music scene in bogota. as with all of the meridian brother's releases, every instrument on 'deseperanza' was played and recorded by eblis himself. a true avant-garde guitar player and composer, eblis also plays in mario galeano's band frente cumbiero and was one of the 42 musicians involved in the recording of ondatrpica. meridian brothers are at the core of a burgeoning music scene with cumbia, salsa and currulao all being explored by a new generation of colombian musicians. last year's "meridian brothers vii" received key recognition from new york's names you can trust, who combined two of its tracks on a highly collectible special edition 7". 'desesperanza', meridian brothers first fully-fledged worldwide release, is dedicated exclusively to salsa and tropical music, twisting it through a dark and theatrical psychedelic soundscape but never abandoning the traditional aesthetics.
