Mono y Banana performed at Café La Maquina in Lima, Perú. Two of their songs were captured by Peruvian media team BarrioBeat. Check out the videos below!
For "A Million Broken Bikes" (written by Banana Lazuli for vocals and thumb piano), Mono y Banana team up with 3 members from "Ser Música", a local initiative devoted to promoting contemporary Peruvian women's music. Adele Fournet + Irazema Vera (vocals & body percussion) and Molly Clinehens (melodica) add their voices, rhythms and melodies to this mystical piece which explores the nature of the heart and the cosmos. A studio version of "A Million Broken Bikes" will be released on Banana Lazuli's album coming out on Visionquest Music later this year.
Mono y Banana explore some new territory when they play a North Indian traditional folk song entitled "Durgati Nashini" - an ancient song written centuries ago in honor of the Hindu goddess Durga. With Mono on percussion and Banana and harmonium, the pair lift up their voices in celebration of divine energy.
