Sr Mandril

Sr Mandril was born in 2000 when Germán González and Ramsés Ramírez decided to mix their musical ideas. The resulting sound has electronic undertones mixed with organic instruments creating a sonic image of colors, sounds and influences that go from acid jazz and ambient to latin. Sr Mandril spend a lot of time on the road at various festivals and venues around South America, also performing at the Festival for International Jazz in Montreal in 06, and 08.

After releasing their debut album to great reviews by the music media, Sr. Mandril follow up with their strong new release Terragroove. It was recorded and produced at Media Luna in Mexico by Ramsés Ramírez and mixed by Ramsés Ramírez and Gerry Rosado. This new album again is a fusion of genres covering acid jazz, funk, folk and rock with electronic and latin percussion.

“We could just say how great we feel this album is, but it’s better you hear for yourself, just how far this band has come since its debut album.” 360

INTERNATIONAL OVERTUNES “LA TEMPESTAD” (june 2005) “… A happy incoherency between the wild name (Mr. Mandrill) and the ligth and clean sound of these duet. Without bigger instrumental postpodruction paraphernalia, this is a mexican chill out work with international overtunes”.

“DJ CONCEPT “(March 2005) “The debut album of Sr. Mandril shows talent not just on the interpretation and improvitation, but in the creative capacity and the perfect selection of instruments…they have an electronic world beat project worried to select efficiently their collaborators”

“ROLLING STONE” (february 2005) “The national Lounge and Acid jazz have never been better represented until now with the appearing of this “Sr. Mandril” with two heads. Ramsés Ramíres and Germán González are the genius behind every sound of these, their first album…” 

Entrevista Sr. Mandril 2009

Sr Mandril have played all over Mexico, South America and the Caribbean, here they are on rocking the stage on a trip to Canada to play at the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal (Montreal, Canada). At the head of Mexico City’s musical avant garde, Sr. Mandril synchronize bossa nova and Latin jazz with electronica grooves that bathe their audience in tropical warmth. Founders German González and Ramsés Ramirez marshal percussion, guitar and sunny vocals that pull every posterior out of its seat and propel it to the dance-floor. Rolling Stone raved about their 2006 Festival show, so they were asked back. They return with more irresistible rhythms and a new album perfectly titled Terragroove.

The 10 best latin CD´s of 2006
Rolling Stone (february 2006)
Sr Mandril´s debut album is considered one of the 10 best releases by Rolling Stone Latin America.

XLR8R Mag
Mexico City’s Sr Mandril lives up to its district’s new global reputation on this experimental effort. Fronted by Germán González and Ramsés Ramírez, this group’s future-jazz sound bridges programmed and live instrumentation for a freeform output that never quite follows one steady sonic path. It’s no wonder Sr. Mandril was such a huge hit at Montreal’s Jazz Fest in 2006-these guys thrive on improvisation. On any given track, one can expect to hear a new amalgam-”El Otro Joe,” for one, features elements of soulful house, Latin rock, and jazz. Because of Sr. Mandril’s jam-band style, though, these tunes may be better enjoyed when played on the stage.
