-Mario
(vocals): "we created the concept of Doctor Krápula which is:
make people dance but also think. Strong music, strong message."
-Germán
(guitar): "DR.K for me is a place where any idea or thought
fits in, whether spiritual or trivial. It's a place where 5 people with
different ways of thinking get together through music and that's how I like to
see DR.K, it's as I want to see a country or a planet: a place where everybody
co-exists and we're all happy, relaxed and music is our vehicle."
-Mario
(vocals): "DR.K is my life, my school, my university. It's been my
classroom and this is my stake to life in order to leave a meaningful grain of
sand in Latin American society. It's my bet."
-Niko
(drums): "DR.K for me is everything. DR.K is the air I breathe
everyday. The clean air we want to breathe. It's the food I eat; it's the hope
I keep everyday to grow as a person, as a human being, as a father, as a musician, as an artist, as a citizen."
-Sergio
(keyboards, accordion): "I think DR.K is more like a social
movement because everytime we play or everytime that our music is on the radio
or when people come to see our performance, they feel identified with our
lyrics like La Fuerza del Amor, El Pibe de mi Barrio or Para
Todos Todo. They feel related with what we're saying and denouncing and we're
also giving them options. It's not only about destroying but about
building and people have joined us in that road of construction."
-David
(bass): "DR.K is a miracle because the life of each and everyone of
us is a miracle. We've discovered that being together is a blessing and very
few people can work in what they really want to in their hearts and I feel that
DR.K is the opportunity to be honest with ourselves and be who we want to
be, think what we want to think and say what we want to say and especially in a
country like Colombia, where each time a leader says something sensible gets
killed or where if a syndicalist asks for rights gets killed, that's where DR.K has become a
popular power, that's the miracle! Our music, our words belong to people and
they have them in their hearts."
-Mario
(vocals): "(...)Colombia
is getting tired of those groups that look for a leadership through
terror. We can't be governed by fear, terror and sadness.
10 years
ago, I thought I had to start a project to have something strong to hold on to
life and I knew I couldn't do it alone, so I thought I had to find someone who
would join me on this road towards a social, political and artistic life project.
Colombia
needs a band that says things, that has a position and creates blisters, love
and feelings in people."
