Latin rock act The Monas sign to WATTSUP! record label in Miami.

Miami (WATTSUP!) - Latin Rock act The Monas signed to the WATTSUP! record label in Miami. The Monas are Pipe Maria(vocals/guitar), Juan (drums), Nando (guitar) and Francisco (bass). Juan and Francisco had already tasted of success back in their native Colombia, with a No 1 hit, a gold album and opening concerts at stadiums for artists such as Shakira with their previous band Los de Adentro. They later met Pipe Maria and Nando, both session guitar players also from Colombia and the lineup was complete. The Monas decided to record at The Audiolounge Recording Studios (Miami,Fl) where they met with Producer/Executive A&R rep Dennis Murcia, who also happened to sign and produce Los de Adentro's debut Platinum selling album for Sony Music. 'After hearing the quality of the songwriting and musicianship, I signed them on the spot' said Dennis, 'they are the real thing, write their songs effortlessly in Spanish and English, and perform great live. The complete package, and in an age of computer artists, it is very exciting to be able to work with career artists like The Monas. Not to mention that they are also great guys to work with, down to earth'. Their album release party will be next week during the Billboard Latin Music Conference & Awards in Miami. The Monas will perform at the Heineken showcase, followed by a gig at the legendary Tobacco Road.
