Meme Del Real, a prominent figure in Mexican rock with Cafe Tacvba, recently released his solo album, "La Montaña Encendida." This introspective work was primarily composed during his time in the tranquil lakeside city of Valle De Bravo, away from the hustle of Mexico City. Upon returning to the capital, Del Real focused on bringing his experimental collection of songs to life.
His home has been transformed into a haven for high-fidelity audio, thanks to a comprehensive Sonos system. This setup facilitates shared family experiences, such as waking to classical music, fostering a unique sense of connection through sound. Del Real finds immense value in the ability to enjoy music seamlessly throughout his house, a communal yet personal listening experience he cherishes.
For the "Sound Conductors" series, Del Real dramatically reimagined his intricate song "Líquenes." This multi-faceted track, which journeys from the microscopic to the cosmic, was performed with orchestral grandeur. The accompanying video captures Del Real directing an orchestra by his pool, showcasing the profound emotional and physical impact music has on him.
