MNKYBSNSS en El Descanso

por Alex Tamayo

Monkey Business es un dúo colombiano que busca un estado más elevado de la música, al implementar elementos orgánicos y sintetizadores a su lenguaje electrónico. Kike Vélez y Miguel Urina van tras sonidos nuevos desde 2013 y más que brindar un set parrandero, acoplan una mezcla de sonidos que dialoga con la gente, es progresiva y dinámica. Dejan atrás el concepto a veces limitado de DJ para interpretar un set musical de fiesta con toda una banda de sonidos. Este año, estos reyes de la vida nocturna bogotana son uno de los nombres jugosos dentro del cartel de El Descanso, en Cuenca.

Con solo tres años, su proyecto ha mutado rápidamente. Pasaron de lanzar su música bajo su propio sello discográfico Mianight Lenguage, a ser el primer proyecto de este estilo que firma con Sony Music CO. Nacieron como una banda de rock en los pequeños bares de Barranquilla, luego se mudaron a Buenos Aires, donde estudiaron producción musical y fue la excusa para encontrarse. Actualmente reciden en la capital colombiana con un proyecto fresco en base a la línea deep house. Sus inicios consistieron en alocadas noches electrónicas argentinas, y luego aumentaron la audiencia, cuando tocaron en festivales como el III Point (Miami) 2014 o el Estéreo Picnic de 2015. Estos artistas consideran a la buena onda y a la constancia como la clave para despegar su nueva propuesta musical.

Roxxane, su proyecto rock n’ roll anterior, estaba integrado por cinco personas, sus breves tocadas y su fugaz disolvencia, sirvieron para que Miguel y Kike encontraran su “gran química musical”. Desde pequeños atraídos por las sonadas electrónicas, las influencias del momento y la casi desaparecida banda de rock hicieron que estos creativos probaran nuevos caminos de sonido. “Empezamos con poco; una guitarra, un sintetizador y un iPad. Nos juntábamos a jammear y a pasarla bien, nunca esperamos nada de ese asunto de monos”, dice Kike al recordar sus épocas universitarias entre risas.

¿Qué detalles del rock aún preservan en MNKYBNSS?

Kike: El riff de guitarra es uno de los elementos principales dentro de nuestra música. Incluir elementos melódicos sobre la base electro technosa es lo que le sigue dando este toque característico.

Mono: No se trata de alejarse del rock, sino de fusionarlo. Hoy en día los géneros se ramifican más que nunca y siendo rockeros a morir, decidimos probar de todo y mezclar todo.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO1oBlbIZZs)

En la actualidad se presentan solo los dos y suenan a una multitud. Para una presentación MNKYBNSS utiliza dos guitarras, dos voces; cada uno lleva dos sintetizadores, en la mitad manejan una caja de ritmos y una caja de bajos de secuencias, además de algunas veces aumentar teclados y pedales con los más extraños efectos sonoros para «completar la banda con estilo».

“Conjugar instrumentos orgánicos con sonidos electrónicos es una de las bases de nuestra constante búsqueda de sonidos”, dice Mono cuando habla de la nueva batería, voces, trompeta, saxo, violines, congas y tubas que están implementando para la grabación de su nuevo disco. TimeLess fue grabado en Los Ángeles, incluye doce canciones “más fiesteras” y estará listo para el 2017. Este álbum forma parte de su deseo de ampliar la banda y presentar sus nuevas canciones con un mayor número de músicos sobre el escenario.

El génesis de MNKYBNSS fue con el pie derecho, estrenando el mismo año de su formación el sencillo «Daydream» con su respectivo videoclip. Posteriormente, la banda autogestionaría dos EP, Normal Operations y Sick Bends con su propio sello, para abrirse campo en escenarios en Panamá, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Buenos Aires, Bogotá y Miami. Es precisamente en EEUU, donde tocaron frente a más de cinco mil personas en el Main Stage de III Points 2014.

¿Qué diferencias encuentran al tocar frente a un público más reducido como en El Descanso?

Kike: Hay que salir preparado para todo, ese es el secreto adaptarse al público.

Mono: Para El Descanso planeamos tocar toda nuestra música en vivo. Tenemos un set base preparado bien prendido. Además de nuestro show de luces que cambian de color y movimiento según los beats que guardamos solo para ocasiones especiales.

Lo prendido de su show en vivo fue el detonante para ser elegidos por los organizadores del festival que se realizará esta semana en Cuenca. Para realizar un live como este, Mono y Kike manejan un tracklist a manera de esqueleto e interpretan al instante las distintas capas sonoras. Para garantizar una fiestota, según Miguel es primordial involucrar a los estados del público en parte del proceso creativo al momento de tocar. “Tenemos que ser receptivos con las sensaciones de los demás y formar un diálogo con la audiencia para determinar el ritmo que se compenetre perfectamente con el siguiente movimiento corporal”, dice él al describir sus largas jornadas nocturnas.

¿Cuáles son sus canciones favoritas para tocar en vivo? 

Mono: Me encanta que la gente se vuelva loca en “Set You Free” y en “Feel”. Estas canciones tienen ese groove sabrosón, medio tropical de cierta forma.

Kike: Si definitivamente son el éxtasis de la noche, se siente la conexión.

Con influencias diversas como The Doors o Cerati mientras crecían, iniciaron su vida musical muy temprano. Por un lado Miguel, con sus primeros pasos en el piano y las enseñanzas de un padre médico y melómano, despertó en sí una musicalidad que se compenetró perfectamente con la de Kike. Él por otro lado, con su alocado gusto por la guitarra creció en un ambiente fértil para la creatividad un poco dejándose mojar por su gen artístico materno. Juntos encabezan hoy las preferencias discotequeras de Bogotá y se fijan nuevas metas a futuro, en las que su música con sabrosón barranquillero alcanza nuevos escenarios.
