Venezuelan-born Monsalve - who cut his teeth playing post-rock, avant-jazz-funk, Afro-Venezuelan and Latin music in Caracas - is on a mission to explore the complex heritage of his homeland. Now based in Paris as of ten years ago, he works with musicians from the Venezuelan and Latin diasporas in Europe - namely in London and Paris, los Forajidos!
On the band’s new album, ‘SOL’, powerful Venezuelan rhythms and traditional songs interweave seamlessly with spiritual and futuristic jazz, psychedelic funk, experimental electronics and Afrobeat drumming.
'SOL' marks a transformative next step for Raúl Monsalve y Los Forajidos, a testament to the group’s evolving artistry and strengthened group dynamic. Having grown from a studio project to a touring band, the group’s closer synergy is evident in their bold explorations of sound and song. By incorporating new influences, experiments and collaborations, 'SOL' not only pushes their creative boundaries but also solidifies their identity as a vibrant force in modern Venezuelan and global music.
