The Mexican artist http://https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWVNOHe78zPE6-sPRXMPj9A" rel="nofollow - Fabiola Simac has released a new album "Immersion" (December 2021) that is available in iTunes and can be found in Spotify or Deezer. Fabiola plays the violin, the guitar and sings and she has been in local progrock bands in the past. She has Instagram, Facebook and TiTok and has quite a few followers (60k). I have listened only "Immersion" and it must be definitively be on progarchives. I have the impression she has been overlooked by the progrock community and has some impact basically at the local level (she is from Mexico DF) and in some latinoamérica prog rock internet forums. It is in the Symphonic prog genre with some instrumental tracks, and songs in English or Spanish. The music goes from relaxing passages, experimental part and some dissonances as well as nice melodies. Solitude and "Aire sin alas" are the most accesible and there are youtube videos (I put the link in the songs). Discography: Albums: Immersion (December 2021) 1. Limerencia (7:14) 2. Aire sin Alas (6:21) 3. Malady of Love (4:25) 4. Ice Dust (3:07) 5. Clinging to Nostalgia (6:46) 6. Individual Soul (3:39) 7. Sinergia (8:30) 8. Aether (5:15) 9. http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhCd3ItuKHo" rel="nofollow - Solitude (7:17) The " http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqWZSRWZhiE" rel="nofollow - Aire sin alas " song on YouTube is from the Single she released in the summer of 2021. This version is slightly different from the one from "Immersion" Eviternity (2020) 1. http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2v6ccNawIw" rel="nofollow - Our ignorance is so big that we keep an open mind (4.:01) 2. Swallow Tail Jig (3:11) 3. Abndnds (7:07) 4. Basking on the Moon (4:10) 5. Glass of Time (5:20) 6. Drunken Sailor Hornpipe (1:09) 7. Explain to your Children (7:04) 8. Eviternity (5:59) 9. Unexpected (6:36) 10.

I'll notify the team about your offer to write a bio. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Here is the bio from Fabiola Simac. Please, could you forward to the Eclectic Prog admins? Fabiola Simac is a Mexican singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (violin, keyboards, guitar, etc). Throughout her career she has collaborated in several projects such as the symphonic metal Orphen band (the first band she formed at the age of 15), the progressive metal Divine Archetype band, the string quartet Elysium ensemble, the pioneer progressive rock band in Mexico Chac Mool, metal progressive Shukra band (they recorded the album “In plactu desidero”), the electronic and progressive Vía Láctea band (they recorded the album “Daath”). She collaborated with Carlos Alvarado (founder of Chac Mool ) in two albums, “The Music of the 7 Chakras” and “Metamorphosis”. In 2017 she created the progressive rock band Meliora, recording the album "Holistic Journey" which was officially presented on November 3, 2018 at the Mega Prog Festival in Mexico City, sharing the stage with Le Orme. At the end of 2018, Fabiola Simac released “Clinging to Nostalgia”, the first single of her solo career. In 2020 and 2021 she has released two singles, “Solitude” and “Aire sin Alas” (the first song in Spanish). All these three songs are part of what will be her first solo album "Immersion", an album full of dark and progressive nuances that is released in December 2021.
