VOX HUMANA

As I’m really into Latin America and its culture, I dedicate lots of my work to bands coming from this part of the world.

“Vox Humana” is a Mexican band from Boca del Río, Veracruz that was founded in 2007 by Paco Almazán (Structure - Synthesizers) and Emilio Moreno (Synths), making experimental electronic music.

After Alí Beristáin entered the band as a vocalsist, the band finally found its direction: EBM / Synthpop / Futurepop. In 2011 Álvaro Urrutia (Programming - Synths) joined the project, Emilio Moreno left the band in January 2015 for personal reasons.

Inspired by bands like Can, Kraftwerk, OMD, Front 242, Size, Elegant Machinery or Década 2, “Vox Humana” is now recording the first single, that will be out by August.
