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.
