Witch ´n´ Monk

• DIGIPACK EDITION

Witch ‘n’ Monk are Mauricio Velasierra and Heidi Heidelberg, whose music is a mix of Latin American flutes, unconventional vocals, electric guitar and electronics. A mix of punk, free form and jazzy compositions of texture and complexities, this music is almost guaranteed to be different from anything you heard before. The pair have played across Europe and their performances have included prestigious venues like the Royal Festival Hall, Paradox and Dunkers and jazz festivals including London, Manchester and Umea as well as venues of a different nature such as Italian skate parks or among the thorn bushes in overgrown East London gardens. Their eponymous album, out on John Zorn’s Tzadik imprint, follows 2016’s critically acclaimed We Are Peering Over. Over that time, Witch ‘n’ Monk have built on their intimate artistic partnership. Interestingly, their journey has been as impulsive as their music.
