Motherflowers & Orestes Gómez
Reports from Other Continents
Collaborative, mellow sounds, a fusion of traditional Afro-Venezuelan music with jazz and hip hop: this is what Motherflowers and Orestes Gómez, two of the most vibrant Venezuelan music projects of today, sound like. Here, Motherflowers share how the band has been purposefully working with few resources to produce high-quality material amid a complex economic situation. The COVID-19 pandemic put their everyday methods of being efficient and using resources to the maximum to the test. In this film, drummer/percussionist and producer Orestes Gómez talks about his career, influences, music projects, and the online strategy behind his art, as he’s coping with the significant impact of the pandemic on the music industry.
