Eblis Alvarez is based in Bogota, Columbia, where he has been studying music since attending conservatory at eight years old and has been on the vanguard of modern cumbia music for over 20 years.   Though he is (very) reverent of Columbian and Latin music, his projects simultaneously pay homage while incorporating playful modern electronic elements, and lyrics that lean into the socio-political. Alvarez is the mind behind the musical projects ‘Meridian Brothers’ ‘Los Piranhas’ and ‘Chupame El Dodo’.
