Big musicians

Why will this concert be great and historic?, What is special about the blending of these two awesome groups.
The answers are simple: first, because it will be the first time that Nortec Collective and the Orchestra of Baja California will get together in a same stage, not as accompaniment, but to literally mix their sounds.

Because, Alberto Nunez Palacio, master, composer and musical arranger is already working, so, the Bostich and Fussible themes can be played by the Orchestra, under the Ivan del Prado’s direction.
These are just some of the reasons for why the entijuanarte09’s closing night will be something to remember.
On the other hand, this union will allow the creation of a new public for a new musical fusion.

Ivan del Prado predicted it that way, in one of the meetings with the arranger and the collective’s members.

The public will realize that listening to an orchestra can be dynamic and surprising because of the versatility that offers, he said.
On the other hand, Bostich said that he feels a special emotion for what will be achieved with this production that is being prepared day to day.
Nuñez Palacio also let  us know that his passion for music is universal and that he is not afraid of new technologies, although is a new challenge for him,  he has enough experience and passion to take the risk with a musical experiment that will get people’s attention and, where Sinaloa’s band chords will be special guests.

Two different styles, one same passion.

Although it seems that Nortec Collective and the Orchestra of Baja California don’t have too much in common, that’s not really true, because they share several experiences in their histories.
Some of them are that they both came out from Tijuana; they both have played in the Bellas Artes Palace’s stage, both have made vibe thousands of people at the Cervantino International Festival (International Cervantes Culture Festival); both have been nominated to the Latin Grammy, and, more importantly, they share the passion for music that have spread to millions of followers in well known national and international stages around the world, and,  the curious fact that they both came up in the nineties decade.

Their versatility is something else that makes them similar; both of them have been always open to innovate, mix, experiment, and, over all, do what their musician’s heart dictates them.

Nortec Collective
Fussible (Pepe Mogt), Bostich (Ramon Amezcua)
Nortec, as well as the name of a contemporary sound type, is mainly a music collective created in Tijuana, Mexico, which goal is the production of electronic music, mixed with northern folk music and Sinaloa’s band sounds. Nortec is also known as Nortec Collective and, each member works in separate projects.
The Nortec sound started in 1999 when Pepe Mogt, tired of following foreign musical trends, started experimenting with an old Sinaloa’s band samples and northern folk music’s albums, altering the sounds in his hard drive and thru analogical synthesizer filters.
Pepe started to compile tracks of the above-mentioned music that would hand out among his friends to start the experimentation with those sounds as  a starting point. 
On the condition that these tracks were the base to create a new piece, several local musicians participated in this announcement, which started Nortec.
On January of 2009 the “Tijuana Sound Machine” by Bostich+Fussible was nominated to the International Grammy in the “Best Latin Alternative Album” category.

Nortec merged electronic and Mexico’s northern popular music to obtain a unique sound, that is already not just a border musical emblem, but a whole generation musical emblem.
