On their new album Hotel Caracas, Mau y Ricky reconnected with their roots in more ways than one: The Montaner brothers packed their bags and flew to Caracas for the first time in 15 years, rekindling their love for a place they left as kids. As they became inspired by their home country, they started making music that rekindled their “love of writing and making music” for the sake of making it, without the pressure of commercial success.
Put simply by Ricky: “It really just fucking changed our lives.”

It’s often the case that children of immigrants, especially Latino ones, learn to balance two cultures from an early age. Frequently, they navigate dual worlds, with one foot firmly planted in the place where they’ve grown up, the other fastened in their parents’ homeland — resulting in what can feel like being split in half, caught between double the amount of traditions and customs and pop-culture references.
