Capitan Melao

A singer songwriter side project by Javier Weyler, drummer for Stereophonics. Javier was born in Buenos Aires (Argentina), grew up in Caracas (Venezuela) and lives in London (UK). All this cultural exposure and experiences are reflected into this work. The first ideas came together in his bedroom and was completed in spare times at hotel rooms, recording studios and the bunk of a tour bus whistle on the road with Stereophonics. Capitan Melao is a melting pot of Javier’s life. Always in touch with his Latin American upbringing, an album of 10 tracks has been completed and will be available soon. The lyrics have a dreamy and poetic content. The music is filmic. Latin rhythms like Bossanova and Bolero, coexist with more western elements like Rock and Electronic. Capitan Melao has the seduction of Bossa nova, the pain of a Bolero, the anger of Rock and the words of a dishearten poet always looking for love, who had it and lost it.
