"CHUCHO MERCHÁN, THE SOUND OF MACON DO.
When it comes to brain escapes and awards for excellence, Colombian rock music has its candidate: Chucho Merchán. Merchán is the Colombian who has achieved the most international achievements in rock.”
"Chucho Merchán is a clear example that no one is a prophet in his land. Not because he is not recognized on the local scene, but because the merits and achievements obtained by this "crazy" in Europe are difficult for any Colombian musician to achieve. ”
