Sylvan Pro Select 16 Ft.

When the giant loves. Between G & L and the steps of Elephant.

Ten years is not enough to shout the world that there is still plenty of music to sing, so many tears to mourn and memories to share. For the proud Mexican band Elefante, the passions are everywhere and one of them is music. We talked with them to unravel this fascinating way of life.

Elephant's story is filled with great effort, long days looking for opportunities and a path full of challenges. And so it has remained for ten happy years. To Ahis (acoustic guitar and keyboards), G. Tracks (electric bass), Iguana (drums), Rafa (electric guitar and harmonica) and Javi (vocals, keyboards)
in 2011 is no exception, the big celebration will not wait, starting with the launch of their new material label.
For this project we different surprises in store, more mature, the support of the entire experience and of course the hard and hard work of all the band: "We found an elephant
different but identifiable That is very important because people know us by our essence. Obviously there is an evolution drive to drive because we have more experience, new experiences, innovations, etc., but in the end remains the same kind of elephant ten years ago. The lyrics, production, arranging, mixing and other work, everything is the creation of an elephant, what has been done in this ran disk completely on our own, and of course we are not closed to work with someone else on future occasions. We are preparing a great tour throughout Mexico and Latin America, United States, and even plan to return to Spain, where We have been very successful. "

There are many influences between us, there is a strong part of the current singers like JoaquĆ­n Sabina, Joan Manuel Serrat, Silvio Rodriguez, among others, the other hand we legendary brand Rock bands like U2 or Pink Floyd: the best is here All these functions are merged and get great results, we do not like complicated, now we focus more on content and let the music just flowed. "

large Love: Elephant and Hermes Music Foundation

"The proposed course love that can
of Hermes Music Foundation
, proved a very interesting job. It is surprising that the great artists like Carlos Santana, Alex Lora and tri, Ramon Ayala, Intocable, Jumbo, among many others to join a great way: it was impressive how we all contribute to the foundation, put our grain of sand meant a huge and valuable challenge in support of different causes from any trench is elementary, if we are invited we will be altruistic projects. "
The basic working tools

An elementary part of any musician are instruments, the choice of these not only depends on its quality, it also has the look, sound and most importantly, that the artist feels that union from the beginning. Hermes Music has long
introduced the band different brand guitars
G & L and from the first moment there was a great connection.
"To be honest I did not know the history or details of the mark, when our friends arrived
Hermes Music and I had very low, I just fell in love, me love the sound, structure, comfort, refinement, image, etc., I just won, I saw that I bring many things, significantly improved the sound. Then was when I met her story, but I just saw him I fell in love
"said G.
Tracks , bassist of the band, and no wonder his reaction, because with these great tools is impossible to misinterpretation. To Ahis , these guitars have a very classic sound, comfort is another big advantage to the interpretation, says the first thing he sees when choosing an instrument is charm: " First I have to like, seduce me, comfort on the ropes and arm, has a magnificent sound is important, "

For
Moreover, Rafa , guitarist and composer of elephant that the choice of his guitars have a lot to do with the brand is identified, and from the first G & L
attracted him: "
from its forms, image and sounded Madrean type (wood was alive, and the guitar for me is alive), all caught my attention. In the past used other guitars, as they approached our great friends
Hermes Music
and proposed test G & L did not hesitate a moment I took them and loved in every way: the sound that had sought clarity, cleanliness and order G & L gives me " Bonus Track

Good environment, jokes and anecdotes than on what happened over career are key elements in the comprehensive training of all: the strong friendship between them and former vocalist Reyli Barba, his passion for football (recognizing that some are favorite team Pumas UNAM), the experiences with their fans, the real stories about each song, his inspiration: women, love, his first instrument, his strong social conscience among many other attributes make Elephant quit all stereotypes rather than becoming one of the bands Mexico's most important in recent years, all a brotherhood. Health
all and see you at our next musical journey.
