Ecuadorian singer, songwriter and producer who made our eyes sparkle and ears rejoice in the exquisite indie-pop feast that is his album, This Is How You Smile, released this year.

Roberto Carlos Lange nurtures his Ecuadorian roots with the inspiration he has drawn from the music he listened to while growing up in Florida. Before his Helado Negro career, which has been going on since 2009, he took part in projects including ROM, Epstein and Boom & Birds. Lange has used Latin, folk, jazz and electronic elements in his first Helado Negro album, Awe Owe, produced after his move to New York. Following the release of his album Canta Lechuza, recorded in a cabin in Connecticut in 2011, he released another album as OMBRE, his project with Julianna Barwick. He went back to his Helado Negro moniker with his 2014 album, Double Youth. This album was inspired by a poster he had since childhood and found in a wardrobe years later. Lange has collaborated with names ranging from Laetitia Sadier from Stereolab and Mikael Jorgensen from Wilco for his series Island Universe Story, first published in 2012 with the fourth instalment released in 2018. His album carrying traces of Latin music of the ‘70s, soul, and dub, Private Energy, was released in 2016. Helado Negro's latest album, This Is How You Smile, could be considered the peak of his career so far and has already been named among the best albums of 2019. The musician creates an atmosphere with pop and electronic music foundations that you will never want to leave. Helado Negro will be visiting Istanbul for the first time for one of the most distinctive concerts in Salon İKSV's 10th year programme.

A rejuvenating night of music for those of you who have Panda Bear, Nilüfer Yanya, Amen Dunes and similar names in your playlist.

This event has an age restriction of 18.
