Ekhymosis, was a Colombian rock band formed by Juan Esteban "Juanes"
Aristizábal Vásquez, along with friends Andrés García, Fernando "Toby"
Tobón and José David Lopera from Medellín. The band was created in 1988
with heavy influences from Metallica and other important metal acts of the
80s, as well as some popular Latino music.
Career After some live performances to become known in their city (and
more regions of Colombia), the band recorded a demo of two songs, which
described the violence in Medellín and the injustice of innocent deaths and
other problems in Colombia. The demo sold out (thanks to friends and family
of the band), and they decided to record a second.This time Ekhymosis had
luck: In the studio was a Codiscos representative; she heard and liked the
demo and the band signed with that label.
1993 saw the release of Niño Gigante, a heavy metal album that included
one of the band's most well known songs,
