Diles Que No Me Maten

Show & Culture

Founded by brothers Raúl (drums) and Gerardo (guitar) Ponce in 2017 in Mexico City, Diles Que No Me Maten developed an identity around an improvisational, complex and fluid musical language. Together with Andrés Lupone (bass), Jerónimo Elizondo-García (guitar, clarinet), and Jonás Derbez (vocals, saxophone), the band crafts an unpredictable mix of art rock, bluesy balladry, and poetic mysticism. Their latest album, Escrito en Agua (Writ in Water), is their most accessible and consciously crafted to date, while maintaining their spirit of exploration. Opening act: First Mote, a project by Jamie Reinert and Christophe Demart, featuring electric baritone guitar and drums for a raw instrumental communion.
