BIO

If there’s a band that marked my career as a young musician it was, without any doubt, Flor Mostaza. I can spend hours and hours writing about what we did together. Even before I joined the band, I was a very good friend of the members and shared a lot of gigs, stories and travels with them. I used to play or sing a few songs with them from time to time. So… I’ll try to be brief

La banda se formó en 1996 aunque los miembros venían tocando juntos desde mucho tiempo antes, desde 1992. Cuando yo me uní a la banda en 1999, ellos ya habían publicado 2 albumes: Tu Elección (1997) y Tres Efes (1998); they also played on a few major cities of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, and released a video clip which had a decent rotation on Much Music and MTV. Video on which I’m in as an extra, by the way.

FLOR MOSTAZA – LA CALOR

Mi primer recital completo con Flor Mostaza was in April, 2000 in Corrientes City, Argentina. That year we also played live on Much Music and did a few shows in Argentina and Uruguay until Adrián, the singer, leave the band due personal issues.

En enero del 2001, Nakyo se sumó a la banda tocar el bajo y Alejandro tomó el micrófono. Hacia fines de febrero grabamos un single llamado U’r Sencillo por Dentro y comenzamos una larga gira por toda Argentina. Una vez terminada la gira, alrededor de junio, grabamos un EP con 4 canciones llamado flor MOSH taXa y comenzamos una nueva gira, esta vez por Brasil y Uruguay.

Al regreso de esa gira en noviembre, hicimos un show en vivo en nuestra ciudad natal, y unos días después tocamos en una ciudad cercana. Ese show fué, sin que nosotros lo supieramos, nuestro último recital juntos.

En febrero del 2002, el baterista (Pablo), el cantante (Ale) and I, migrate to Spain with the idea of ​​continue with the band there. Nakyo was supposed to travel afterwards. But when we arrive to Spain, everything changed and after one year of disagreements, discord and nonconformity, I returned to Argentina. That was the end of the group.

In 2004, with Adrián and a few friends, we did a kind of tribute live show. Manuel Branca, former bass player and founder of the band,  also played a few song with us in that gig.

TRIBUTO A FLOR MOSTAZA, 2004

We composed a couple of very good songs that were never recorded. Throughout the years, since then, I tried a few times along with Adrian and Nakyo, to make something with them without succeed. In 2021 I sent five of these song to Jahred, the singer of (həd) ^p.e., y el selecionó cuatro de ellas para hacerle la letra y grabarlas. Tres de esas canciones fueron incluidas en el album Califas Worldwide released by (həd) ^p.e. en febrero del 2022.

In 2021, 20 years after our last official live show, along another four former members that the band had through the years, we decided to play again and we did a live show together. We don´t know if we’ll play live again or if we’ll record some new songs in the future, but we stay in touch and we do some rehearsals from time to time.
