Zoé

When you hear “Cuando el sol se esconde” and the guitar starts beating like a heart that won’t sleep, you know Zoé is on the scene. The band, formed in 1999 in the industrial zone of Mexico City, emerged from the friendship between vocalist Mon Laferte and guitarist Juan Campanella, although the sound we know today solidified with the arrival of drummer Juan Carlos Cañedo and bassist Luis de la Rosa. From their first shows in Condesa bars, their blend of melodic riffs and introspective lyrics began to enchant young people looking for more than noise.

Zoé’s catalog reads like a journey between the ethereal and the concrete. “La Nube” (2004) marked their entry with “Cero” and “Eres”, which became anthems of Generation X. “Aztlán” (2007) added layers of psychedelic sound, with “Luna” and “Cayó el Sol” as key pieces. “El Círculo” (2010) brought the band to massive success, and “Río” (2014) cemented their style: immersive guitars, poetic lyrics, and a rhythm that invites dancing in the rain. The album “El Mar” (2017) and the most recent “Eloísta” (2022) continue exploring the fusion between alternative rock and melodic pop, maintaining the identity that made them unique.

Zoé’s impact transcends stages. They have been awarded at the MTV Latinoamérica Awards and the Lo Nuestro Awards, and their music has been used in series such as “Narcos” and “La Casa de Papel”. Beyond the awards, the band remains a reference for emerging bands seeking an authentic and fresh sound. Currently, they are touring Europe and Latin America, and their latest single “Luz” is already on all playlists. Their ability to reinvent themselves without losing their essence keeps them relevant, and the community keeps growing, because every time a new track plays, people know something great is coming.
