Alex Serra is a musician from the Mediterranean city of Barcelona. His debut album ‘In the Real World’ (2019) springs from an inspiring four-year self-discovery journey starting in 2012 and taking him through Latin America and South Africa, where he connects with musicians from different musical roots that permeate his music with a unique and regenerating energy.
Amazonian sounds, African tribal rhythms, shamans and sacred plants transform his perception and forge an interior sound filled with downtempo frequencies that enchant from the first listen.His songs describe an awakening to a New World, which Alex believes to be more “Real”, where one goes deep inside, to a place where time stops and we can recognize something mysterious and sacred that connects all human beings. His soft & powerful voice leads us to a state of introspection and trance.
Toti Arimany (Totidub) is a master producer of Dub and music programming, basic to understand the sound of La Fournier, the house that hosted the records of Dusminguet first and La Troba Kung-Fú later.
Alex and Toti meet in 2017 introduced by a common friend, they instantly connect and shortly after start a one year experiment at a farmhouse reconverted into a musical laboratory. Together they recreate nature atmospheres with samples that Alex captured on his trip, interweaving with electronic beats of Afro-Latin rhythms, Soul and African guitars, and an exquisite use of Dub textures and effects.
The freshness of the album ‘In the Real World’ gets the at-tention of the indie record label Mundo Zurdo, also responsible for the current record adventures of Macaco and Iseo & Dodosound, and is published under the label’s umbrella on June 21, 2019.
