We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Pan de Muerto. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Pan de Muerto below.
Hi Pan de Muerto, thanks for joining us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
The debut album, Pan de Muerto, has been the hardest thing we’ve accomplished thus far. Almost 6 years in the making, one would think that the toughest part would be the recording itself; however, the journey getting there was the actual fight. With line-up changes, quarantines, money struggles, and butting heads, laying bass tracks was quite easy.
There was a point in time where I didn’t even think it was gonna happen and somehow, everything fell into place…
It’s cheesy to call it fate, but knowing that it took 4 different kids, 2 of them being from different countries, meeting by chance in Memphis TN makes it very hard to name it otherwise.
At the end of the day, even if the band comes to an end, we can find peace in being able to listen back to tracks we ourselves created.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Pan de Muerto is a medium and our art an offering. Regardless of the meaning behind the words, it’s up to listener to decide how to interpret it. In El Dia de los Muertos, families gather together to honor their ancestors with altars full of their favorite foods as it’s believed that once a years, the dead are allowed to visit their loved ones in the mortal realm. Pan de Muerto being one of the delicacies placed as an offering is where the band found its name.
As a band, a mixture of gothic, Latin, and hard rock sounds. With influences From Heroes del Silencio to Queens of the Stone Age and ABBA to Celia Cruz, it’s hard for us to not make catchy head bangers that have will you dancing unconsciously.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
Being able to share something you created. Even when the reactions are bad, the fact that someone took time out of their day to listen to your art, is quiet comforting.
How can we best help foster a strong, supportive environment for artists and creatives?
In my opinion, the best thing society can do for artist is provide a platform where we can share the art we create. It is up to us to make an impact by honing our skills, promoting, and showmanship.
