“In everything we do, the end is music: it is to do a concert, it is to release a record. I think that a good change in mentality that we are going to have soon is that music begins to be the medium for something else,” Juan Pablo Isaza, vocalist of Morat, assured EFE, asked what 2023 will bring.
What is that “something else”? “I have no idea”, confesses the singer, who even so is confident that “this change of mentality is very important”.
At the moment, this Bogotá quartet, made up of Isaza, Juan Pablo Villamil, Simón Vargas and Martín Vargas, is going through its “best moment” and they have had 2022, in which they have finished a very successful tour, full of “learning”. and of “giant changes”.
“We are in a moment where we feel that not taking a risk is probably the worst decision in the world. Whatever is going to happen has to be different and has to live up to what we have been doing, but it has to be different. Let’s see what we come up with,” Villamil said in an interview with EFE in Medellín, where on December 17 and 18 they performed in separate concerts with Juanes.
Because the future is still uncertain, they still don’t know what step they will take, what direction they will take, but they are clear that “the fifth album is going to be crazy when we know what it’s going to be about.”
