After four years on the scene in Mexico City making connections and discovering new ways of making music, Victor Correa presents his new quintet with "In Lak ‘ Ech, Hala Ken"; in the Mayan Language - I'm another version of you.
In Lak ‘ Ech, Hala Ken is a further step for Victor Correa, now leading this new grouping of some of Barcelona's key improvising musicians and playing his original compositions, drawing on his experience of Mexico and its people.
The recording represents a new challenge with Correa encouraging his bandmates to accompany him on a journey beyond the comfort zone, particularly in terms of language and the search for a new articulation of its central themes.
The result is balanced; Correa provides a personal and sincere voice through his trombone. finding a sound that is at once weighty and authentic.

Després de la seva experiència a la ciutat de Mèxic D.F on ha format part activa de la seva escena musical durant els darrers quatre anys, Víctor Correra presenta nou quintet i nou disc “In Lak ‘ Ech, Hala Ken”, “Sóc un altre tu” en la llengua Maya.
In Lak ‘ Ech, Hala Ken, és un pas endavant en la trajectòria de Víctor Correa que s’ha posat al capdavant d’un quintet format per alguns dels millors improvisadors de l’escena barcelonina per donar forma a les noves composicions de Correa, escrites en gran part a Mèxic D.F.
L’enregistrament d'aquest disc ha estat un repte autoimposat, una manera de sortir de la zona de confort per buscar nous matisos en el seu llenguatge i en la seva música .
El resultat és una peça equilibrada on Víctor Correa dona veu al seu trombó amb un to sincer, on cada so té el pes i l’autenticitat de qui el busca.
