MAKING MOVIES RELEASE RAW NEW SINGLE “COULD YOU?” WITH DREAMS OF A BETTER FUTURE

Latin Grammy-nominated rock and roll band Making Movies release their newest song “Could You?”. After releasing the acoustic performance video (HERE) for the single two days prior to Inauguration, the band wanted to release a full studio version for listeners to enjoy. The song features simple, rhythmic  percussions and an airy-like synth tone that builds throughout the song. This creates a much different experience than the acoustic performance, yet still carries the same lyrical weight. 

“Could You?” is a direct reflection of the current times.  The emphasis on lyricism creates a space for listeners to reflect on the events of the last 4 years. “I wrote this song for myself two years ago as a kind of pacifier to calm my own anxieties, not sure if it was the kind of tune I keep to myself or share. We’ve chosen to share in hopes it has a similar effect on the audience,” says Enrique Chi. 

Making Movies is an American band with a sound Rolling Stone describes as “an eclectic blend of rumbero percussions, delicate organs and grungy fuzz rock.” Formed by Panamanian brothers Enrique and Diego Chi, on electric guitar and bass, Mexican-American percussionist and keyboardist Juan-Carlos Chaurand, and drummer Duncan Burnett, the band rose to acclaim through a decade of relentless touring in the US and Latin America.

Making Movies released their third album ameri’kana May 2019, and its apparent why Rolling Stone says, “this band is breaking down walls in the United States.” Collaborating with legends Los Lobos Rubén Blades and the late Lou Reed has NPR Music placing 'ameri'kana' on its Best Music of 2019

The band grew in its activism when Salsa icon Rubén Blades joined forces with them to release three singles on ameri’kana: No Te Calles, Cómo Perdonar (ft. Flor De Toloache) and Delilah, a song co-written by Blades and Lou Reed. Grammy.com called Delilah an “epic musical collaboration brought together by the topic of immigration” and NPR Music placed “No Te Calles: on its Best Music of 2019 (so far).

Making Movies and nonprofit Art As Mentorship collaborated to launch AMERIKANA.TV in 2020, a living documentary exploring the rich DNA within the American music story.

The band is recording its fourth album to be released in the fall.
