WYKALBUM ART2018-2021

w.y.k was an anomaly in the underground scene in Bogotá during its short time. Coming out at the same time as the  “big boom” of indie music that changed the independent musical landscape in Colombia, where guitar driven projects arose from the basements and sweaty small venues Colombia’s major cities to the mainstream,  w.y.k kept pushing towards experimentation and genre bending music that went from jazz to hip hop, reggae and more traditional Colombian rhythms, with a power trio (drums, piano & bass) that came from very different backgrounds, from classical, to punk and back again, and an MC more interested in literature than bars or skills.  

Between 2018 and 2021 I worked closely with the band developing a visual style that could reflect their improvisational approach to music. This resulted in a collection of works made as fast as possible with no sketches or second takes. Collages and blink of an eye drawings became the face of their short and eclectic discography. Their first and only LP to this date “Doble Uyecá” was the first incursion in this style and “Tigre” one of their last singles is the crowning jewel of this long collaboration.
Listen to their music.
