How did the creation and composition process go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Carmen Ruiz:<\/strong> We took the time to think about it, to go deeper into what we wanted to communicate. It took a lot of patience, love and resilience&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Juan Sebastian Mejia: <\/strong>It&#8217;s a beautiful puzzle. If it holds together, it&#8217;s thanks to our artistic vision and the values we share, but above all thanks to the great creative freedom of each of our members. And all this creativity is then put into the big, collective pot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CR: <\/strong>Our greatest challenge, and at the same time our greatest success \u2013 and we&#8217;re proud of it \u2013 is to be able to present this great diversity while maintaining artistic coherence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360: <\/strong>Are there any new influences that have been added to your palette since <em>Revuelta Danza Party<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CR:<\/strong> We\u2019re more and more rooted in our cumbiero groove, but our range of influences is even greater, more global. Our cumbia is very nomadic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/GKO-7-web-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19197\"\/><figcaption><em>Photo credit: Nathaniel Huard<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360:<\/strong> This time, you decided to entrust the production to someone outside the orchestra, why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CR: <\/strong>We are a fairly large collective and our vocation is above all artistic. To help us do our creative work well, we increasingly seek \u2013 it&#8217;s in our nature \u2013 to surround ourselves with collaborators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So we were looking for someone with an outside point of view, but who can also teach us new things, allow us to meet new artists&#8230; and even manage time in the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>JSM:<\/strong> And then Christian [Castango] taught us that what we needed to do was to go even further and deeper in our approach. He believes very much in us and in his work, and he has been a great listener. He&#8217;s also a recording artist and he loved working at BreakGlass Studio with James Benjamin, the sound engineer. We\u2019re very happy with the studio and producer choices we made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also invited two other outside collaborators to take care of the staging of the album, the directors Ricard Soler Mallol and Patrick L\u00e9onard from Les 7 Doigts de la Main.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CR: <\/strong>We must not forget either that all this was made possible thanks to the support of the various Canada Council for the Arts, of course, but also of FACTOR and all those who participated in ULULE&#8217;s socio-financing campaign, for which we are very grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360:<\/strong> And how did the recording sessions go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>JSM:<\/strong> It was memorable. The people at BreakGlass Studios were very welcoming, there was a real family spirit, a spirit of sharing. Everybody was happy to do something beautiful and real together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for Christian, he gave his 110 percent during the 10 days of recording sessions. He knew how to navigate the waters of GKO, and how to steer the boat well throughout the crossing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/gko-7837-web-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19201\"\/><figcaption><em>Photo credit: Nathaniel Huard<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360: <\/strong>You also had a guest, can you tell us about him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CR:<\/strong> Zilien [Biret] is a guest, but at the same time he&#8217;s part of the family. He left the ship a few months before the recording of the album. He decided to follow his creative instincts and his desire to work as a herbalist and move to the country. \u201cTakamaka\u201d, which he plays on the Colombian ga\u00efta hembra [a flute made from a hollowed-out cactus stem], is a bit of a farewell gift to the GKO.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PAN M 360: <\/strong>Given that the new album is the music for a show with narrative and choreography, do you plan to preview it via Internet streaming, or will you wait until you can present it in front of an audience?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>JSM:<\/strong> We will wait.
