Verito Asprilla:
Tumaco’s rising young star Verito Asprilla has taken the spotlight in Colombia´s new generation of artists blending to perfection reggaeton, dancehall, amapiano and trap with the Colombian Pacific coast barrios’ soul. With the lyricism of someone twice her age, her candid and captivating voice, and rhyming skills sure to shock even the most seasoned rapper, Verito Asprilla is taking centre stage within the modern day Tumaco music scene. At just 19 years old, the fresh-faced Verito is paving the way within dancehall, amapiano, hip hop, reggaeton and Urban Pacific music in general. Sure to be heralded as a female favourite in the future, Verito and her Veromania is here to stay.
2024 is set to be Verito´s year, she is confirmed in Estereo Picnic and Lollapalooza Chile and is putting together her first European tour around her participation in Nuits Sonores Festival in Lyon.
Brainchild of Llorona Records' Diego Gómez, a blend of ritualism and futurism, rough ethereal electronic dub music made from the roots sounds of Colombia. A journey to timeless ancient sounds through echoes, reverbs, sampling and dub mixing techniques. Cerrero´s releases include collaborations with legendary artists such as Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto, Adrian Sherwood, Son Palenque, Canalón de Timbiquí, Semblanzas del río Guapi and Bejuco, as well as young names such as Verito Asprilla and el “León Pardo”.
”The project, brainchild of Llorona Records’ Diego Gómez, fuses an ethereal and ceremonial production with an all-consuming sound. In a blend of ritualism and futurism, Cerrero is (naturally) a perfect embodiment of the Llorona Records spirit”
