Metzanima comes from: Finnish:metsä=forest and Latin:anima=spirit

Metzanima is a psytrance project created in 2003 by me Gonzalo Laserna and my friend
Alejandro Ahumada , which in 2004 turned into a solo project for me.

I was born in Stockholm-Sweden but with Bolivian/Greek roots. Turning 14 I moved to
La Paz - Bolivia where I started as a Dj mixing Goa/Psytrance. After 7 years in Bolivia I returned to Sweden where I studied sound engineering. At this point, I started composing my own music and Metzanima was created.

In late 2004 I went back to Bolivia with new inspiration and started to experiment with new sounds. At this time I met Anselmo Portugal, a talanted & experienced Bolivian musician, together we fused Psytrance with Bolivian native instruments such as zampoña, quena, toyo and charango, which took the traditional tunes to new levels.

In March of 2005 I presented my first album "TransAndino" with a live act, in La Paz-Bolivia.

At present time I reside in Stockholm and are working full time making weird noises.
