Hey familia! Buenas y santas!
Mil Santos literally means "Thousand Saints" and is the alias of a Columbian singer currently living in Berlin. His songs are a unique blend of traditional Latin music with elements of Hip Hop. German, English and Spanish flow into soulful and rhythmic songs dominated by Hip Hop and Latin beats. Numerous legends of salsa history imbue Mil Santos as well as his music.
Mil Santos loves spending his time with people which is also reflected in his shows on stage. At his side are artists from a plethora of countries, spanning from the Dominican Republic and Cuba to the United Kingdom and all the way to Germany.
As simple as it may sound, Mil Santos finds the necessary inspiration for his music in the world out there. In some way just everything is worth thinking and singing about: The unique and particular magic of the street, the search for love, the daily life in a foreign country and the distance of home. Not to forget the story of the thousand saints. Thus, just as its inspiration, the music is mundane yet longing, as well as combative. "Don't impress, rather express. Touching the people. Show the world from a different perspective and question existing patterns" - this being most important to Mil Santos is reflected unfiltered in his powerful stage performance.
