South American Peruvian psychedelic artistThis is a cassette released by Tomás Tello aka ACA in October 2022 with a limited edition of 10 from Portuguese jungle label Discrepant.

Contains 7 tracks of Andean psychedelia. DL link included.

The following is a commentary by the writer himself.

The crickets never stopped chirping where I live...and they kept chirping for the whole Quarentine...

Grillito (Spanish for little cricket) recorded in Tavira, Portugal in 2019-2020 at various improvisational sessions.

The A-side, aptly, opens with the theme Grillito... The opening is inspired by the music of Sikris (Peruvian traditional music).Then with Raul Jardin"Yarabitz" recorded with Aya will appear.The rest of the recording was done by myself, including field recordings from the Quelcaia Glacier in Cusco, Peru.

The B-side is a mix of Quelccaya recordings and Daniel Llermaly's bass, a simple Nintendo beat that develops the concept to its illogical conclusion... Olas de Verano's homemade cover of Los Pakines and Juaneco y su I also decided to try the combo cumbia samba.

Finally, the album culminates in a long section of cajon recorded with Laura Robles... I mixed those recordings with the ones I took in Lima for the Pacific Ocean splashes.I originally started doing music with Laura Robles, so getting this music on tape is really special.

For me, Grillito is the displacement between different memories and fantasies that appear when traveling the roads of Peru...each theme is like looking through the window of a bus...waking up from sleep and seeing another in the realm of...in the desert...in the highlands...in a city...in a small town...adjacent to the sea...in my memory...this is long, It's a long journey...............and I was named "Gillito"...and I am "Glillito" The word “thing” expresses ambiguous things.

Little crickets remind us that we are not alone... Nature's musical gift. ''

"ACA (roughly translated as right here) is a new project by Tomás Tello enabling him to collaborate with whoever crosses his paths creating a truly mystifying journey of highland mysticism crossed with late night bonfire jams, whichever way you look at it Tello keeps the South American experimentalism torch flying high above in the starry sky."

Artist statement by Tomás Tello, Tavira 2022

''Where I live the crickets never stop chirping… and during quarantine they kept going and going and going…

Grillito (small cricket in Spanish) was recorded in Tavira, Portugal between 2019 and 2020 in various impromptu sessions.

Side A begins, appropriately, with the theme Grillito … the opening is inspired by the music of the Sikuris. Next comes Yarabits, recorded with Raul Jardín and Aya. in Cuzco, Peru.

Side B extends the concept to its illogical conclusion with an infinity mix between the Quelccaya recordings and various songs that I recorded with Daniel Llermaly on bass and a Nintendo making simple beats…I also decided to include an homemade cover of Olas de Verano by Los Pakines and a cumbia samba by Juaneco y su combo.

Eventually the album peaks with a long section I recorded with Laura Robles using the Cajón… I mixed those recordings with others of the Pacific Ocean spray in Lima. It's really nice to have this music committed to tape because when I started playing music it was with Laura Robles, so it's really special to have recorded this!

Grillito, for me, is a displacement between different memories and fantasies that appear when I remember traveling on Peruvian roads… each theme is like looking through a window on a bus…you sleep and wake up and you are in another type of territory…in the desert…in the highlands….in the city… in a small town… next to the sea… inside your memory… these are long, long trips…

The little crickets are there to remind us that we are not alone… a natural musical gift. ''
