Melqui is the formation of Argentinian-born composer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Lautaro “Lau” Hochman. During the first Covid lockdown, stuck in his Amsterdam apartment, Lautaro decided to transform his living room into a makeshift studio to record. Due to Covid lockdown measures, the other Melqui members – an eclectic bunch from Brazil (Gabriel de Oliveira), The Netherlands (Siebren Smink), Canada/Korea (David Ko), the US (Sara Tompkins), and Israel (Yoad Korach) – came to the studio one by one. The result is four Latin-inspired and indie-driven grooves that make up their debut EP.

Their songs draw inspiration from the member's studies in Contemporary Composition (Counterpoint), Contemporary Jazz (Improvisation, Harmony), and Latin-American music. The band is working on their first Album to be released in October.

Lautaro formed the band while studying at the Amsterdam Conservatory with an eclectic bunch
from Korea (David Ko), Brazil (Gabriel de Oliveira), The Netherlands (Siebren Smink), the US (Sara Tompkins), Spain (Aniol Torrents), and Israel (Yoad Korach)

During the first Covid lockdown, while in isolation, Lautaro and David transformed their living room into a makeshift studio.
The other Melqui members came to record individually. The result is four Latin-inspired and indie-driven grooves that make up their debut EP, Melqui.

The previous experience of Melqui's band members in Jazz, Free-improv, Classical music, and Pop provide the group with a unique approach to songwriting, arrangement, and production.

Melqui led up to their first release with a series of concerts in the Netherlands, and an EP release show in the Bovenzaal of Paradiso Amsterdam.
The 7-piece band marks its debut with a wistful kiss of a song. “Amarla,” via Bloomer Records, is the opening track for Melqui’s Debut EP, Melqui.
