YATU celebrates 30 years of artistic career with a new solo album
The former bass player and main writer/composer of venezuelan cult punk band “La Seguridad Nacional” starts a new chapter in his career with this new and very listenable album. After three full decades walking the road of music and writing songs in spanish that have crossed the paths of Punk, Rockabilly, Folk, Blues and Rock & Roll, YATU is back in the spotlight and his sound is better than ever.
A Conciencia is the title of YATU's new solo album, already a milestone in Venezuelan rock/pop music after its public debut at the Hard Rock Cafe; Caracas on the 20th of September/2006. Since then YATU has been dealing with a steady flow of media coverage, including TV appearances, radio shows and printed interviews. His fan base continues to grow as old and new followers alike embrace an artist who has been producing real music in Spanish for the last three decades. His work has influenced many other rock and pop bands in Venezuela, as evidenced by the radio success with songs written by Yatu, “El Vampiroâ€, “Uñas Asesinasâ€, “El rap de la ciudadâ€, “La lunaâ€, “Joroporoll†and “Nadie es de nadieâ€.
“A Conciencia” contains eleven heart-felt tracks, three of which are already on the playlists of many radio stations in Venezuela: “Mi Oportunidad” and “Amor” were delivered as the first two singles, and most recently “Nadie es de nadie” (track No. 3 on the CD) is threatening to define itself as the album's smash hit. “A Conciencia” is a very listenable album, perhaps surprisingly listenable coming from an artist who for many people still embodies the punk scene in Venezuela. But it is this Yatu, more mature, with more life experience, the Yatu that sings to a broad cross generational audience, an audience which proves in each of his live performances that age is no limit to lock onto YATU's music.
An in-depth story about YATU can be read and seen in the Febuary 2007 Latin American edition of Rolling Stone magazine.
