about

"Blending Latin American flutes, electronics, complex vocal lines with a touch of Frank Zappa lyricism and a radical punk aesthetic, the duo of Heidi Heidelberg and Mauricio Velasierra crafts a dramatically bizarre vocal music from another dimension! Intertwining dark/light, feminine/masculine, composed/improvised and punk/romantic, dreamlike improvisations are sampled, manipulated and reinvented through the lens of contemporary music and pop. You have never heard anything quite like Witch ‘n Monk!" (Tzadik Records)

lyrics

Le ha llegado un chicharron
Ala seño de Fontibon
Que vivan las alas !

Un monito llego
Tu cabeza a llenar
Si preguntas quien es
Desaparesera

Siempre el viento era su manto
Con el águila creció
Su frontera es la montaña
Tiene sueños de volar
Que vivan las alas !

Un lorito llego
Tu cabeza a quebrar
Si preguntas quien es
Se desmoronara

Al momento de su vuelo
Una voz le pregunto
Si te caes al abismo
Como no te quebraras?

Ni los savios han logrado escapar la gravedad
No te creas Juana de Arco mi palabra es la verdad !
Esa es la voz que te manipula
Siempre desviando tu direccion
Esa es la voz que crea dudas
Hoy soy eterna, mañana non
Esa es la voz que te roba el tiempo
Siempre inventando una distracción
Esa es la voz que te esta parando
De imaginarte la libertad !

Here in the morning silence her mind dissolves
A raven rising travels across the skyline
As she lets her body unfold
And all the voices turn to noises
She leaps into the light
And she’s free to rise
