Andervel - Faðmaðu Mig (Original Song) | Amplified

Andervel performs his original song “Faðmaðu Mig“ in an exclusive live recording session in Iceland. Faðmaðu Mig is inspired by the sunrise at the dawn of a new day, the moment when the sun rays find their way leaking through and dispelling the darkness. Hope for new beginnings. The theme responds to the undeniable need for closeness and affection, for physical contact, an extremely current issue after the covid pandemic, which has led us to experience a much colder and distant reality, isolated from any close interpersonal interaction. Musically, the song fuses the cultural background of traditional Mexican music and the influence of the Icelandic music scene. The song, as well as the album, has been described by the press in Mexico as a cultural bridge between two worlds (Iceland and Mexico). Andervel, Mexican folk music meets Iceland’s emotional landscapes. Celebrated as “a rare pearl in Spanish-language music” by Spanish-American media outlet Al Día, Andervel’s debut album “Beginners” was released in 2016. His hotly anticipated EP, “Noche,” was released in late 2020. “Noche” includes recent singles “No Sé” and “Muñequita”, featuring Icelandic artists JóiPé and Sóley. Andervel is currently working on several projects, such as composing music for the elderly, a sensitive project that pretends to help patients with dementia or Alzheimer’s; a second album that partners his sincere and timeless brand of folk-pop melodies with experimental music, in Spanish, English and Icelandic-language lyrics. Earnest, intimate, heartfelt, delicate: Andervel is the music project of singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer José Luis Anderson. Born and raised in Mexico, Anderson currently lives in Iceland. Andervel acts as an homage to his family roots, his classical singing background, and his maturation in the Icelandic art scene. Music is in his blood; in his formative years, Anderson was mentored by his grandfather, award-winning opera tenor Librado Alexander. Anderson’s own music career began when he was a teenager, performing as a solo vocalist for a traditional music group on tour through Europe and the USA. Anderson subsequently founded the folk band Henry the Horse. Anderson’s dedication to family led to the formation of Andervel—a synthesis of his father’s (Anderson) and mother’s (Esquivel) last names. Andervel translates the loyalty and cares imbued through Anderson’s upbringing into songs matured through intimacy and sincerity. Anderson resides in Reykjavík where his yellow socks are infamous in the local arts scene.
