Stellúm Sotelo (Sephardic-Mexican born in Tijuana on December 1, 1989), also known as Sotelúm, is a mod independent music artist,[1] listed by UABC Radio and other local press media as a very elemental post-nortec visionary in the Mexican avant garde of electronic music.[2][3]
Music career
From his early experiences as trumpet player, Sotelúm always express their affinity for Mexican folklore and Hebrew music especially sephardic and klezmer styles, but his music career began professionally in 2006 when he got grouped into a mariachi street band on the world famous Santa Cecilia square, where he practiced the Mexican music tradition, unnoticed until 2008.[2]
In 2010, Sotelúm begins to perform live under his now popular pseudonym as a "invited trompeter" in many projects of different genres and styles, but after a short season of collaborations with Nortec Panoptica Orchestra and Pato Banton & The Ghostownians, their concerns to amalgamate mexican folk with modern jazz led him to launch his first studio LP: Minarete Brass The music from this album is also live performed as a "sub-project" called Sotelúm & The Minarete Brass Orchestra, through the entire project, Sotelúm tested the mix of Mexican music from the huasteca and tapatia regions with American swing and jazz, clearly influenced by the binational vision of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass.[4]
During hanukkah 2011, Sotelúm exposes their first formal approach to electronic music with the exposure of their first studio EP Synthetiklezmer a bold and experimental fusion between sephardic brass and klezmer with the drum machines and synthesizers that introduce 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".[1][2]
In 2012, and after continuous collaborations with Big Javy from Inspector and Sonidero Travesura, Sotelúm devotes his style with his second studio EP "Huastech", a craft that follows his previous mixing of mariachi and huasteca music but this time, with electronic music. This material was produced and released in Guadalajara Mexico and many samples from "Minarete Brass" can be heard.[1][2]
In 2013, Sotelúm launched his third studio EP "Share The Light", that exposes the same folk / synthpop proffer of "Synthetiklezmer" and "Huastech" but this time incorporating Jewish folk as Mexican folk alike. The material counted with the participations of the Mexican singer Linda Owlen and the Argentine-American clarinetist Gustavo Bulgach, plus a special Spanish version of "Like a Star", adapting it as a remix of the single "Cielo Privado" by the Peruvian-Israeli singer Einat Schmal.[1][2][5]
