Superlitio is a Latin rock band from Cali, Colombia formed in 1997. Its members are Pedro Rovetto (bass), Pipe Bravo (Lead Voice, keyboards and guitar), Alejandro Lozano (guitar), Armando Gonzalez (drums) and Dino Leandro (Machines and Ukulele). ==History== With four independent records including the multi-awarded ''Tripping Tropicana'' (produced by Tweety Gonzalez, the same behind Fito Páez and Gustavo Cerati) and their latest album ''Calidosound'' (producer by the multi Grammy winner Rafa Sardina), the band has participated and headlined a wide variety of international festivals, reaching all corners of Colombia, Latin America, Latin US and Central America. Throughout their career Superlitio has performed with artist such as Juanes, Café Tacuba, Julieta Venegas, Control Machete, Babasónicos, Molotov, Aterciopelados and Manu Chao. Apart from being nominated for the Latin Grammy Award (2004) as "Best New Artist", Superlitio has also achieved important awards and recognitions such as the LBE Music Awards (winner for "Best New Latin Alternative Artist"), SHOCK Awards (winner for "Best Recording of the Year", "Band of the Year", "Best Video" and "Best Alternative Band"), and Univision's "Premios Lo Nuestro" nomination for "Best Rock Album". Superlitio has often been recognized by the local and international media as a band capable of mixing a wide range of rhythms where languages barriers are overpassed, switching from Spanish to French and English, while combining rock, hip-hop, drum n bass, jazz, funk, electronic, reggae and Latin rhythms. Due to their musical richness Superlitio's catalogue has been highly demanded by important Colombian broadcasters who have used Superlitio's music on highly rated Colombian TV series and reality shows such as ''Francisco el Matematico'' (a TV series sold to more than 20 countries) and the Colombian version of the ''X Factor''. In fact, in the summer of 2008, Superlitio reached #1 in several Colombian radio stations with the main theme and soundtrack of ''Dog Eat Dog'', a critically acclaimed Colombian film. In September 2008 after several weeks of pre-production between Los Angeles - US and Cali - Colombia, Superlitio entered the studio to record their fourth album. During the sessions, Superlitio recorded 10 new songs as well as more than 10 hours of video and plenty of digital images of the entire process. At the same time and in partnership with Casa Editorial ''El Tiempo'' (the most important media outlet in Colombia) Superlitio created six "webisodes" which were uploaded on to "vive.in" the most popular music & entertainment website in Colombia. In less than 6 weeks the website reached more than 25,000 page-views and reported over 16,000 unique users, at the time very significant figures for the digital industry in Colombia. The band independently released its fourth album ''Calidosound'' in July 2009, having teamed up with award-winning Spanish producer Rafa Sardina who previously had worked with artists such as Stevie Wonder and Macy Gray. The year saw them headline Rock al Parque, the largest open rock festival in Latin America, while also winning the Recording of the Year award at the SHOCK Awards, the most prestigious music awards in Colombia. Superlitio have also won plaudits for their innovative use of digital, notching up more than 40,000 downloads of their latest album preview with a Colombian newspaper, and more than 150,000 streams on the MSN portal during the launch week. In March 2010, right after their second appearance at SXSW Festival and a short US tour with shows in NYC, Washington, and Miami, CALIDOSOUND was digitally released on a global scale through The Orchard. "Perro Come Perro" was chosen as the single of the week in iTunes Latino US and Mexico achieving over 50.000 downloads. As of July 2010 the band was extensively touring Colombia promoting their latest single "Te Lastime", which have already reached the number one spot in several radio stations around the country supported by a viral stop-motion video. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Superlitio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
