Julian Sarmiento

Julain is a musician, producer, professor of sound at the university I work for, the owner of a bar called LIVE, and my spanish teacher. He plays in a band called La Margarita, with Karen and Camilo. His family has taken me in, metaphorically, since I’ve been here. I take beach trips and play soccer with his brothers; I listen to his fathers words of wisdom- who was just awarded as the best journalist in Colombia- even though I don’t understand what he is saying; and his mother is sweet and likes to make fun of me.  Julian runs a studio out of his house which is very nice, mainly producing audio for TV and movies, but also recording bands and the radio project I work for.

We have began recording music together, and will have a collection of songs soon. They will be sample free feel good hip hop music fused with the music from the coast, featuring a number of the musicians in his combo and of course Matt B.
