"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. ”

"I have always thought that music has the ability to change the world. Music must have an end and the times in which we live are complicated. Music can contribute to build a better world. In my music I fight for the animal rights and the message of the vegan revolution, the backbone of my work.”
