Chilean artist Cigarbox Man announces the release of Mírame,
his first release since before the pandemic, and since moving to the United
States two months ago.
"Mírame describes the sensation of two people meeting
each other for the first time, and feeling like they had known each other
forever," said Cigarbox Man. "It was inspired by the first time I met
my wife. We both had the feeling that somehow, we had known each other in a
past life."
Mírame was assembled by a
world class team, including two key people in the Grammy-winning team of
Fantastic Negrito, Tomas Salcedo and Nahuel Bronzini, and it was
mixed by legendary engineer Anibal Kerpel. In alignment with his focus
on the environment and sustainability, the track is a carbon neutral single.
Cigarbox Man calls his style of music “Sustainable Rock.” He is
known for his signature guitar, made with his bare hands using recycled
materials, and for a musical fusion that brings together rock, electronica,
delta blues and psychedelia. The project was born during travels to New
Zealand, Australia, and Papua New Guinea, where Cigarbox Man witnessed
first-hand the impacts of climate change on poor communities around the world.
From that point forward, he dedicated his music and his life to transforming
the music industry -- and the world -- with a message of sustainability and
finding value in the things society often discards.
After a rapid rise in Santiago, which saw
Cigarbox Man win a busking competition and eventually perform on some of the
country’s top stages -- Lollapalooza, Fender Day and Cosquin Rock -- Cigarbox
Man has brought his family and his dream to the Bay Area. Mírame marks
the beginning of that journey.
