Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Santi Echeverría of Uruguay began writing songs years ago but recently released his first EP, Cuando todo era otra cosa, after performing a song dedicated to his late father at Sala Corchea.
Echeverría kept his songwriting private for a long time, filling notebooks with lyrics and melodies. He shared early drafts of “Carta a mi viejo,” a song about his father who died in 2014, with family and friends who encouraged him to publish it.
After connecting with producer Lucas Cary through Instagram, Echeverría found the encouragement he needed to move forward with his music. Cary, whose 2024 album was praised by El País, helped Echeverría refine his songs and create the EP. Echeverría previously played bass and guitar in several bands, including Bien Suave, gaining confidence performing in clubs. The EP features four songs that explore themes of relationships and self-reflection.
Echeverría described a shift in his songwriting, moving away from portraying himself as a victim to acknowledging his own flaws. He is now preparing to present the EP at Inmigrantes, and is already working on new material, adding a bassist to his band for the show.
