Morat

School wasn't just the place where they met, but also where they started playing seriously. Although at first they didn't have many people listening to them, over time they started gaining followers. A place they liked was La Tea, where they started playing and saw how their audience grew. One of the guys, Simón, said they had a game: every time they went to play there, they guessed how many people would come, and almost always more than expected arrived.

Not everything was easy at first. Once, they were rejected by a representative who didn't see potential in them. He said he didn't think their songs were for the radio, and that they should have been born in another place and time. But later, when he saw them perform live, he changed his mind and decided to help them.

The band's name also has a story. Previously, they were called "Malta", but when trying to sign with a company, they discovered it was already taken. So they took the name they have now, Morat, which comes from a place on the outskirts of Bogotá where they used to rehearse. There, in that farm, they started to create their own space, and gradually they became more than just a group of friends.
