Project
You finish your studies and get your first job and you feel that what's coming ahead has just one direction and there's no escape. Imagine it another way. By starting a ten-month trip across America. Once you've landed you realise you can follow a different path. Surprise yourself by mingling with strangers. Discover new landscapes. Soak up history and culture, carrying everything in your backpack. Definetly living with not much, but living a lot.
So here we are, a world full of emotions. Trying to share these experiences that we've turned into songs. We present CRAM, “Coi de Rutina, Agafa i Marxem” (fucking routine, let's hit the road) the project that fills our trip with music. We want to explain how we are living this adventure. What's like living here. How we manage to get washed. How we have changed our daily routine, home and clothes for a different lifestyle, a hammock and our beards.
We spent 10 months travelling around several countries from Cuba to Mexico (est coast), Guatemala, Mexico (west coast), US, Canada, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina.
We're back home now. We successfully started a Verkami campaign and achived our goal, 130 sponsors and over 3.000 euros.
CRAM will turn into a CD-MAP that will be released very soon. It will be a compilation of all the songs written and composed during the trip together with a map that will highlight all the landmarks that we visited. We're now in the Red Factory Studio recording the songs!

Featurings
Alias: The Crew
Drumers, singers, bass players, pianists, metal section and strings! Almost 30 musicians will come to the Red Factory Studio to do their thing. They give it all, their art is magistral. On the CD you will hear the breath of their lungs, the move of their wrist, scratch of their nails.
Plum Cake
Alias: El Ancestro
It is the soul of the party. His brilliant mind is the one in charge of guiding the two intrepid explorers. It is made of an authentic baritone without bringing traces of nuts. I fear the graters.
