iaki Vallejo – Mi barrio
by El Parlante Amarillo on August 2, 2016
IAKI nació en Colombia en medio de sonidos de tambores, cantos, danzas y discos de vinilo. En su barrio era costumbre entre los vecinos escuchar música a muy alto volumen casi todos los días de la semana. Las “batallas” musicales entre la gente del barrio se resumían en quién tenía el equipo de sonido más potente y la mejor música del momento. La música es una de las grandes riquezas de su país, es referencia de ser colombiano, así que acostarse arrullado por la música de la calle era algo normal. En su hogar cada miembro de la familia amaba un estilo de música diferente; estilos que influenciaron su carrera artística desde temprana edad. Su padre amaba el tango, su madre el bolero, su hermano la salsa y la balada. Desde pequeña actuó en festivales en su escuela buscando un camino para recorrer, un camino que ya estaba allí para ella, como Iaki lo dice “yo no encontré la música, la música me encontró a mi’.

I didn’t find music, it found me
by issuu on July 8, 2016
Iaki Vallejo is a Colombian singer who is based in Melbourne. She grew up in an environment where loud music and dance never seemed to ever despair its occupants. From inception, this was what influenced her musical career, which was ignited as early as she was 4 years of age.
As young as she was, she was so resilient in her musical career, as she performed in hotels, festivals, and private parties at her hometown, restaurants, and at her school's singing festivals, in the quest of searching for a music path which she believed was her destiny. She once stated in one of her words that: "I didn't find music, it found me".

Colombians in Australia: Meet Cali musician Iaki Vallejo

Iaki Vallejo credits the loud stereos that blasted salsa tunes in her hometown of Cali for inspiring her to take steps toward a musical career. Her love of local rhythms and musical styles has taken her from Colombia to around the world. She lived in Italy for more than a decade but now calls Australia home and it is here that she is sharing her Latin routes along with the jazz influences she’s picked up along the way. Her self-titled album is set to be released early in July and in the lead up to its launch she sat down to talk to me about her love of Colombian rhythms and the impact they have had on her life. Meet singer Iaki Vallejo.
Iaki Vallejo – Mi Barrio
by AirIt on June 8, 2016
Iaki was born between the sound of drums, chants, dances and vinyl records in Colombia. She grew up in a hood where the neighbours listened to loud music every day. Music is one of the greatest riches of her nation; it is a reference of being Colombian. Lulled to sleep every night with the street’s music was very common.
