Carlos Escanilla is a singer-songwriter and guitarist originally hailing from from Santiago in Chile and now based in Miami, Florida, crafting a fusion of cultural influences in his musical adventure. With a heart brimming with passion and a natural talent for music, Carlos has been on an exciting sonic journey built on authentic live performances and collaborative spirit.
From his early days as a self-taught musician, Carlos was first inspired by a diverse array of artists like Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Lionel Richie and the Motown greats, resulting in a unique blend of soulful melodies and heartfelt lyricism that have seen him strike a chord with listeners around the world.
Since 2007, Carlos has won over audiences in Miami with his passionate performances while operating in two bands over the years. Most notably, Carlos & The Experience is formed by seven members from diverse backgrounds, taking inspiration from bands such as The Revivalists and Kaleo and quickly making an impact by performing at festivals and venues across the city.
Capturing his sound in the studio, he released his debut single “Words2Ashes” in 2019 and has since shared a string of well-received tracks over the years while linking with other artists on collaborative releases. Now he brings us his recent single titled “Just A Little While,” a song that perfectly distils Carlos and his band’s mission to present the feel of their live performances in their recorded output.
Opened by the gentle strums of guitar chords, riding the taps of percussion as the smooth pips of Ale Pizarro’s trumpet work is met by the pulse of bass guitar, Carlo’s velvety voice glides in to thread gentle melodies above. Laying down a laid back groove with the shuffle of drums and bright colours of the instrumentation, the energy rises with the lively shaker and airy falsetto vocal delivery.
The song also benefits from the backing vocal work of new band member Amy Guache, with the chorus serving up a shimmering slice of soulful rock music. It’s a superb display of the outfit’s infectiously rhythmic sound and catchy songwriting, brought to life by stellar the vocal performance and sensational musicianship of Carlos Escanilla and his bandmates.
