Essentially a collaboration between vocalist/guitarist Andrea Echeverri and bassist/arranger Hector Buitrago, Aterciopelados has recorded eight albums since they originally teamed up in Bogota, Colombia in the early '90s as "Delia y los Aminoacidos". "Hector was an essential revelation in my personal and musical life," said Andrea. "He brought new aesthetics, unsuspected rebellion, and truckloads of music." Buitrago came from a hardcore rock background, heading up a group called La Pesitilencia, while Echeverri had been drawn into the fledgling scene through art school friends. "When I was young I listened to bugaloo by Richie Rey and later stuff like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Yes," said Hector. "The first time I bought a bass guitar, I'd never had one in my hands before. I began to write songs by ear." Hector and Andrea went on to open one of Bogota's only rock clubs, and their relationship is one Latin rock's most successful artistic partnerships.
