Sotelúm

Sotelúm (Shlúm «Lúm» Sotelo ; born December 1, 1989) is a modernist and independent music artist, listed by UABC Radio and other local press media as an elemental post-nortec visionary in the Mexican avant garde of electronic music.

Career From his early experiences as trumpet player, Sotelúm always expressed his affinity for Mexican folklore and Hebrew music, especially sephardic brass and klezmer styles. His music career began professionally in 2006 when he joined a mariachi street band on the world-famous Santa Cecilia square, where he practiced the Mexican music tradition, unnoticed until 2008.

In early 2010, with the help of Pato Banton, Sotelúm founded Share The Light Music and launch his first studio LP; Minarete Brass an album that mixed Mexican folk music from the huasteca and tapatia regions with American standard styles like swing and jazz, clearly influenced by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass.

During Hanukkah 2011, Sotelúm released his first formal approach to electronic music with the exposure of his first studio EP; Synthetiklezmer a bold and experimental fusion between sephardic brass and klezmer with the drum machines and synthesizers that introduced him to the EDM scene. The EP counted with the special collaboration of Gustavo Bulgach, Argentine-American clarinetist and bandleader of Klezmer Juice and Yiddish Tango Club.

In 2014, Sotelúm launched an eponymous compilation LP, Sotelúm.
