In 2018 El Speaker releases his first solo EP, « ORIGAMI » unfolded into five distinct movements. Modern rhythms contrast with organic melodies and lush soundscapes, keeping you absorbed through intimate verses and exploding choruses. The expertly curated selection of vocalists, come together as wistful anti-heroes, giving the record a beautifully melancholic underlying tone.
2019 marks a new era for the artist. After years of blending different genres together, El Speaker travels to Cuba and Colombia to reconnect with his latin culture. After a 2 month roadtrip, he comes back to Paris with a full album, many collabs and a unique blend of salsa, ragga and bass music.
The first track of that new set will be released on December the 20th 2019.
