Gepe

Sun-drenched Chilean folk meets minimalist electronic pop. Warm acoustic guitars and gentle vocals create a space that feels both intimate and expansive.

Intro

Gepe creates a sound that feels like a bridge between the deep roots of Chilean Nueva Canción and the flickering lights of modern indie pop. His music is characterized by a profound gentleness, often led by the rhythmic strumming of an acoustic guitar or the bright, high-pitched chirp of a charango, all underpinned by subtle electronic pulses that never overwhelm the organic core.

What truly sets him apart is his ability to maintain a sense of 'heightened simplicity.' While his arrangements can be sophisticated, incorporating everything from Andean percussion to Pet Boys-esque synths, the emotional delivery remains vulnerable and direct. His voice rarely rises above a conversational, breathy tone, making every song feel like a secret shared between friends.

For those new to his catalog, starting with GP or Audiovisión offers the perfect balance of his folk origins and his more polished, danceable pop experiments. It is music for the moments when you want to feel connected to the earth but your head is still spinning with the complexities of modern life.

Daniel Alejandro Riveros Sepúlveda (born September 28, 1981), known as Gepe, is a Chilean singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He has released five solo albums in addition to one album as a member of the band Taller Dejao. He has been described as the "new 'guru' of Chilean folk" for combining the sensibilities of 1960s and 1970s Chilean folk (especially the music of Víctor Jara) with a minimalist, electropop sound.
