“Mochileando” means backpacking in Spanish and is the second taster from the forthcoming “Cuentos Cortos” EP. Pachakuti & young.vishnu are travelers at heart. Musically & in real life. With family roots in Colombia & the Netherlands, the duo is mixing lo-fi beats & jazz with a smooth Latin twist. Which has made them welcomed guests in “Jazz Vibes“ and “State of Jazz“. Their debut album “Semilla“ on Melting Pot Music has accumulated 4M streams to date. For fans of Kiefer, FloFilz & Alfa Mist.
Pachakuti is a classically trained saxophonist and pianist with strong leanings towards Jazz and Latin music. young.vishnu is a beatmaker, arranger, sampleologist and the founder of the Nima Composition Archive. They both briefly met five years ago in Hildesheim and became friends during a road trip to the Bask country. Pachakuti and young.vishnu formed a nine-piece band called the Soularkestra which became the nucleus of their new project that combines free-thinking grooves with strong messages about politics, identity, globalization and neocolonialism.
In 2020, their debut album “Semilla” became an instant success amongst beat heads and jazz lovers alike. The limited LP edition (500 copies) sold out within weeks and several songs reached high positions in influential playlists on Spotify. Pachakuti is also a long-time friend and musical companion of Berlin-based neo soul singer Douniah.
