Okay, letโs get into the Ten questions for Bokeh!
The following interview was originally in Spanish, but translated into English

The band originally began to take shape in Punta Alta (Buenos Aires, Argentina), which is where Mauro (our Guitarist and Vocalist) lives, after a year, we decided to move the rehearsals to Bahรญa Blanca, (Buenos Aires, Argentina) since the most of the members in the band lived there Although everyone has their own hobbies, perhaps the strongest, and the one that unites us all, is making music together. It is not only a hobby but also our ground.

The four of us started creating music when we were very young. I think that the desire to experiment with sounds was always present in each of the members. Additionally, we had musical experiences before Bokeh, this enriches our band.
๐ฏ. ๐ช๐ต๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ด๐ด๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ณ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐?
In matters of influences we are very varied, as each of the members comes from projects of different
genres. The great thing about this is that we can be influenced by sounds that we later transfer to our work in an unexplained way. That can be noticed when listening to one of our albums, there are nods to a lot of styles, rock, pop, jazz, electronic, shoegaze, math rock, and an endless list of genres. That happens because we are very open when it comes to listening to music. But if we have to name a particular artist who has influenced our sound as a band, it is Cornelius.

Bokeh began making music in 2016. We have released EP's since then. However, our band just released our first album "Piel" this year.

Our goals are to keep making music and to spread it, to reach as many people as possible. Always playing with the visual. After the virus, we hope we can present our latest album live and start working on the next one.

We are not exquisite, any place where they want to listen to us and receive us will be perfect for us, but if it is about dreaming, being able to play in England would be a very important achievement for the band.
๐ณ. ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ด?
We all have very different tastes in music, so it is difficult to answer this question. It could be any of our album 'Piel' ... because we are proud of the result achieved from total self-management, there is a lot of work behind us behind those songs and that is enough to make them our favorites.
๐ด. ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐?
In one of our last shows (before the pandemic), the stage was made of wood and it moved a lot, that made the electronic drum stand wobble and random sounds were triggered by the vibrations throughout the first song. When we finished it, we decided to turn it off in order to continue.
๐ต. ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐๐ต๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐?
We are quite a young band but our greatest achievement is creating this wonderful work in a dynamic and safe space to express ourselves and, of course, make something we
only dreamed of come true.

We are lucky to have had two very talented artists: Tomas Molto (Pรญllpelet) and Fernando Blanco (Valle de Muรฑecas / Siempre es Medianoche) for our latest release "Piel". On the other hand, teaming up with any of our influences would be a dream come true! "
