By 2019, the successful duo of producers and composers y formed by Luis Jimenez y and Agustín Zubillaga ya was a recognized force in the Latin American music industry. However, recording studios were not big enough to contain their artistic ambition, so they decided to form LAGOS, a musical proyecto with which they dreamed of going from being behind the consoles to playing on the most important stages in the world.

Just five years later, the group holds the song with the all-time record for the most consecutive days on Spotify's Top 200 in Mexico (Mónaco ft. Danny Ocean, with more than 1,000 days on the charts), achieved platinum status in Mexico, double platinum, and gold in the United States, landed a #1 on the general Mexican radio charts (No se acaba hasta que acabe, with Reik), and even won their first Latin Grammy as composers of the worldwide hit Ojos Marrones, performed by Venezuelan artist Lasso.

Following this dizzying wave of success, LAGOS will release their highly anticipated second album, Alta Fidelidad, in 2024, a collection of elegant pop songs produced by the band themselves, packed with melodies and nostalgic lyrics that will serve as a soundtrack for those who live looking for love in the most unlikely places.

Matisse is a balm for the heart in the form of a song. The group from Mexicali stands out for its way of taking romance to another level through its compositions y with the sweet voices of Melissa Robles, Román Torres y Pablo Preciado. The way in which they bring love to life through their high-quality creations has earned them a large number of followers. And their virtuosity in music is innate. The ballads that are part of their repertoire are dedications that sound all over the world, standing out as one of the most popular pop groups today. Among their successes are hits such as "Como Lo Hice yo", "Eres Tú", "Más Que Amigos", "La misma luna", among many more.

MATISSE IN THE VOICE OF HIS PROTAGONISTS…

MELISSA ROBLES: “The best way to define Matisse is to explain its meaning; we chose this name ya that represents precisely what we are, three totally different voices mixed with subtlety… but for me Matisse is also a challenge y a dream in which I feel very lucky, because I am next to two extremely talented people. All three of us are passionate about music, we sing with our hearts y and when things are done with that sincerity, you can tell the difference.”

PABLO PRECIADO: “Matisse is the crystallization of a dream, of a job, of an illusion. It is half of my life. I think that many people will identify with us not only for our songs, but because we are normal people, from ordinary families, searching for an “abnormal” dream; we have the blessing of God to be able to sing y and write about situations that happen to all people. I think there will be great empathy.”

ROMÁN TORRES: “Matisse is definitely a life project. It’s a blessing to be surrounded by so much talent from a family, that’s how I see them, because the three of us seek to make music that not only we like but also people like, we have similar dreams and goals. Pablo has taught me a lot musically personally speaking, I admire him as a composer, musician and singer, it’s a pleasure to be able to share songs and stages with my brother. We have the best team possible, with the cherry on the cake being Melissa, who has an incredible timbre and a very big angel, we are very lucky to have that balance in the group.”

MATISSE IN THE VOICE OF HIS PROTAGONISTS…

Francisco Céspedes, also known as Pancho Céspedes, is a Cuban-Mexican singer-songwriter born on February 28, 1957 in Santa Clara, Cuba. Céspedes is known for his distinctive style that fuses bolero with jazz and other Latin genres. Before dedicating himself fully to music, he studied medicine in Cuba, but his passion for art led him to abandon that career to follow his true calling.

Céspedes gained prominence in 1998 with the release of his debut album, “Vida Loca,” which included hits such as the eponymous song, “Vida Loca.” This album earned him several awards and international recognition, including a Quintuple Platinum Record in Spain and several Amigo Awards.

TOFU is the new album of Caloncho, a collection of songs that make us feel at home, embraced by melodies that delight the ear and the mind. We enjoy that unique flavor in each song, exploring the romantic, kind, fun, reflective and organic message of the Mexican singer-songwriter; complete food for the heart.

The menu is varied at this buffet. TOFU y as starting with dessert is our thing, Caloncho Open the disk with Superdeli, the delicious tropical bachata that sweetens love.
As a second time appears Czech Wacha, a minty refreshing ballad that reminds us to see y appreciate what's around us. Then follows Fresh, that rhythmic song that invites us to do something primitive: move, dance, see each other to feel good.

Bitterness is also part of life y with the double theme: During the day it's fine, At night bad we will find that deep contrast y essential to see the brightness in the dark.
Next: comes to the rescue Vitamin D with the positive force y the impetus of the day that resonates with the family optimism of Caloncho, suitable for everyday wear.

There is still more to discover in this feast; delight in the rhythm of Black Nights, snuggle up in the hammock of Figures in clouds y find inner peace with Cheer up.
You will surely cook a unique y recipe especially for yourself; prepare it to your liking.

PS We had to mention it: this 5th studio album connects in many ways to the catalog of Caloncho; the most curious minds will find clear glimpses of the Fruit, Balsam, Marshmallow y Good Fish in the TOFU, just listen, wacha y check.
