BMM Please share with us a little
of your personal background…
LAEPP I was born and raised in a village called Villanueva
in the Department of La Guajira in Colombia. My musical
beginnings started in a very empirical way, playing guitar with
neighborhood friends. The first instrument I picked was the
guitar, but then a good buddy of mine recommended I study
electric bass guitar, since in the region there were few bassists
and this was something that would help me a lot to develop a
musical career. That was how my first acoustic guitar became
my first bass, when I put on larger gauge strings.
