Alejandro Laverde
I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia and now live in the San Fransisco Bay Area. Growing up in Colombia I had a lot of musical influence from my family with the great Hispanic/Latin artists that transcend generations and carry the essence of the culture to this day. My curiosity for music started then and was further developed when one of my uncles took me under his wing and opened the world of music in English to me, starting with classic Rock and Metal and going all the way to Rap, R&B, Jazz, and Electronic, from there I took it upon myself to keep being curious and explore music without limiting myself to certain languages and styles I understood but rather let the music do its thing and connect with the rhythm and the artist’s body of work.
Since then I have expanded my music library and collection, for every moment in life, there is a song that can help you celebrate, recover, laugh, cry. There is no limit as a listener to explore and enjoy the beautiful gift of music, which has no barriers and welcomes everyone.
Hope you enjoy this playlist and always remember to stay curious and open-minded, you never know when you’ll find that next hidden gem to jam out to.
Topdown – Channel Tres
10 September 2020
Topdown by Channel Tres perfectly exemplifies his style and origins in music production. Blending Detroit techno with West coast rap, the Compton native created something unique that has no parallel and can’t really be classified into a specific genre.
