At home and in the neighborhood they call him Cheky; he looks like a singer from a tropical orchestra in his native Caracas or a football talent exported to a prominent European club, but, breaking with clichés, His work is related to new Latin American electronic music. and his work has received outstanding reviews from the specialized press. His project is called Egyptian Cotton and, as part of the promotion for her new album, Blind trust, releases his video Wishes.
Egyptian cotton, it must be said, It does not feature traditional pop compositions. His work is highly experimental, sometimes incomprehensible, and requires a certain amount of listening patience. The same is true of his audiovisual productions. Wishes It's a vector-based animated clip with pastel colors and characters that look like they were spawned at some galactic carnival. The developed aesthetic blends well with the abrupt cuts in the song And, if we allow ourselves a bit of poetic license, it creates a separate world that is not easy to reach, but after a few repetitions, The meaning of the complete product is understood and accepted.
Egyptian Cotton seduces a specialized audience that seeks different emotions. This is the type of audience his work is aimed at. His proposal will surely have avant-garde supporters and detractors who don't appreciate his particular taste. That said, Egyptian cotton definitely does not go unnoticed.
