Juan Carlos Portillo

Juan Carlos Victoria Muñoz

Bogotá, Colombia

Biography

Juan Carlos Victoria Muñoz was born in Cali, Colombia in 1984. After teaching himself to play guitar and bass, he started his musical career as a mere teenager, playing in many different bands. Years later, his tour took him to Bogotá, where he met Toto la Momposina, a legendary singer from Colombia. He is currently part of the band, Toño Barrio Latin Groove.

How we met:

We met Juan Carlos while recording Toto La Mamposina in Bogotá. The day after, we recorded him in the center of the city, playing his baby-bass among tramways, cars and buses in the middle of a busy street.
