From Source by GRINGLO

These are some of the first songs I ever completed as a song writer. The times I had with my former band GRINGLO are very close to my heart and this album is still very dear to me.

"After suffering a nervous breakdown a few years ago I needed to rethink my life completely. I embarked on a journey that led to many places, deep into the amazon jungle, to yogis near the Himalayas and to living with forest monks in south-east Asia. The songs on this album are inspired by the journey itself, the people I met and the lessons I learned along the way. Lessons available to anyone willing to listen with a still mind and a open heart." - Ivan Mendez, front man of GRINGLO

From Source is GRINGLO's debut album and the former part of a two piece LP.

Hi! My name is Ivan and I am a musician and a producer from the small town Akureyri, in northern Iceland.
My music is genre-fluid, as I am in love with many different styles, but my focus is always on songwriting and heart-centered lyrics.

My main ambition is to push individual and collective human consciousness to higher levels through musical experience.

I love you.
