Artist
CHERCÁN is a band from Valdivia, Chile that formed during the year 2019. They are an avant-garde rock band exploring sounds and rhythms from fusion, progressive, Latin American, and world music. The band was founded and is led by Rodrigo González, former drummer and percussionist of the bands LA DESOOORDEN and HOMÍNIDO. COVID-19 delayed their development, but the band was finally able to record and release its first single, "Kalimba," in November of 2024 with its first eponymous full-length album being released soon after in February of 2025. Joining Rodrigo in Chercán is guitarist Roberto Faúndez, vocalist Martín Peña, saxophone player Matías Bahamondes, and bass player Simón Catalán (who has been replaced by Pablo Barría since the recording of Chercán). Chercán is the Spanish name of a particular house wren that is common in Chile (and it's also the name of a particular typeface font).
