This weeks "Fellow of Neringa" is Lagartijeando from Argentina. His fantastic sounds are a blend of the rural and the urban, melding the folkloric roots of the village with the digital electricity of the city. Lagartijeando is the alter ego of Matias Zundel, who through trips around Latin America has enriched and expanded the search for his sound. Bolivian lands have given him newfound inspiration, a lengthy excursion through the Mexican countryside woke him up to ancestral ideas. Meanwhile, he finds continued guidance for his sonic masterpieces in his hometown of Dolores, where fields and gauchos, Payadas, Malambos, Triunfos, Huellas and other folk rhythms merge with the clatter of modern day Argentine life.
Shaman chant and charango guitar loops are the backbone of Lagartijeando's signature style. Native voices are the back beat to percussion and bass tracks with organ melodies combining cumbia and psychedelic noise.
