Our second guest in the Beat Wala series is Tulum based artist
Eduardo Castillo.

He seeks out spaces in which self-expression, rediscovery and
human connection can prosper, adapting musically to each
environment.

His sound encompasses the depth of his studies in the industry
and influences stemming from a South American and European
upbringing.

He crafted his art through music composition, orchestration and
was also training to become a tenor in opera during his time in
New York after leaving his Venezuelan home aged 18.

His in depth study provide him with a vast understanding of
harmonies, dynamics and musical textures and last summer he
brought The Overview Effect to Ibiza where Jo Youle hosted todays
conversation in his private, temporary home in the island
countryside.

He frequently fuses Jazz, Avant-Garde, Middle Eastern, South
American, Afro-Cuban folk, Soul, Funk, and Electronic Minimalism,
in his compositions, live shows, his singing, and his DJ sets,
whether in their pure from or intertwined with down, mid or
up-tempo electronic treatments.

Ultimately, simplicity is what Eduardo strives for. An effort is
always made to have fresh, organic sound while inevitably
providing touches of technological advances shaping music today.
