Superlitio
“A glimpse into the realm of 21st century world music. No language barriers, lyrically flowing from Spanish to English to French. A delightful mixture of Rock, Funk, Dub, Electronica and Latin grooves”.
Latin Grammy-nominated band Superlitio have been described as one of the best rock acts in Colombia today. The band independently released its fourth album CALIDOSOUND in July 2009, having teamed up with award-winning producer Rafa Sardina. The year saw them headline Rock al Parque, the largest open rock festival in Latin America, while also winning the Recording Of The Year award at the Shock Awards, the most prestigious music awards in Colombia.
Superlitio have also won plaudits for their innovative use of digital, notching up more than 40,000 downloads of their latest album preview with a Colombian newspaper, and more than 150,000 streams on the MSN portal during the launch week.
Band members Pipe, Pete, Alejo, Dino and Armando have come a long way since forming Superlitio more than a decade ago. The band has played more than 500 shows, supporting artists like Juanes, Café Tacuba, Julieta Venegas, Control Machete, Babasónicos, Molotov, Aterciopelados and Manu Chao.
In 2008, Superlitio had their second number one in the Colombian radio airplay chart, with the title track from the movie Perro Come Perro – one of the most critically acclaimed Colombian movies ever. The band also garnered nominations for Best New Artist at the Latin Grammys, as well as Best Rock Album at Univision’s Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, and Best Fusion Video at the Much Music Awards. In the US, they won La Banda Elastica award for Best New Alternative Artist.
Superlitio’s music has also been regularly used on Colombian TV shows, including hugely popular soap opera Francisco el Matematico. The band’s music has also been used in Colombia’s equivalent of The X Factor.
In March 2010, right after their second appearance at SXSW Festival and a short US Tour with shows in NYC, Washington, and Miami, CALIDOSOUND was digitally released on a global scale through The Orchard. Perro Come Perro was choosen as the single of the week in iTunes Latino US and Mexico achieving over 50.000 downloads.
The band is currently touring Colombia promoting their latest single Te Lastime, which have already reached the number one spot in several radio stations around the country.
