Kevin Johansen He knows he has a strong fan base in Bogotá, which is why his visits to the Colombian capital are more frequent. The artist, whose mother is Argentinian and father is American, is coming to promote his latest album., My Americas Volume 1/2, an eclectic album made in collaboration with his daughters Miranda and Kim Johansen, in addition to prominent musicians, such as Marcos Mundstock, Palito Ortega, Ricardo Mollo, Pity Álvarez, Miss Bolivia, Lito Vitale, the Brazilian Arnaldo Antunes, the Peruvians Kanaku and El Tigre and the Chilean Macha Asenjo (Chico Trujillo). My Americas Volume 1/2 It is described by Johansen himself as an album where «"New songs coexist with old ones I had archived for years. That's what happens when you were a hidden artist instead of a cult artist: you have a lot of material you haven't shown yet."».In his interview with Telam, Johansen, elaborating on the definition of his album, says «"My intention was to appropriate the Americas, which are none other than one's own, the ones one knows. It's not like I went to Lake Titicaca to sit and connect: I went to the cities I know. The fact that it's a medium-sized album means that this album is just the tip of the iceberg, the part of 'My Americas' that I'm only just discovering."‘. Well, we want to imagine that his return to Bogotá is part of the confirmation of his concept and that it confirms that his flags are still flying high in this city.
