There are so many artists all around the world and it's impossible for them all to shine at once. That's why it's refreshing to discover a new talent from a country that's not world renowned for its musical exports.
I was, like most Friday nights, hanging out with a few buddies of mine. Then someone suggested they play Love 'n Hennessy by an artist named A.CHAL.
When the track started I found it to be nothing special, it's a sound I've heard before, but then came my synesthesia. Eigengrau. I discovered the 14th eigengrau track of 2017.
I'm not familiar with Peruvian music, but never would I have expected someone as talented as Alejandro Chal to hail from there as it's not the kind of sound you would associate with the country.
That's when I typed he's name into google and discovered the full project called ON GAZ. I spent the majority of my Saturday listening to it repeatedly and I was not disappointed at all, I was more upset.
I was upset at the fact that I didn't discover him and he's music sooner. I thoroughly enjoyed he's ON GAZ project and will be looking to purchase he's debut album later this month when my finances agree with me.
I feel as though he's one of those rare artist that at first listen you can instantly connect with and that any project he drops wouldn't be a letdown, something similar to a Russ or BYLWANSTA.
You have fans here in South Africa A.CHAL and we would definitely love to see you perform live.
