BALTHVS

Colombian trio BALTHVS builds hypnotic, sun-warmed grooves from psychedelic funk, Latin rhythms, spiritual jazz and Middle Eastern melodies. Formed in 2019, the band brings together guitarist and vocalist Balthazar Aguirre, bassist and vocalist Johanna Mercuriana, and drummer Santiago Lizcano, whose musical interplay shapes a sound that moves easily between laid-back flow and dance-floor pulse. Albums including Harvest and Manifest showcase that range, while tracks such as “Asha” and “Mango Season” carry its vivid, tropical character. The appeal lies in the mix of richly textured guitar, nimble bass and open-ended rhythms that invite listeners to settle into the groove—or move with it.
