Morat

Morat is a Colombian Latin pop band. Originally formed in Bogotá on 13 December 2011, they became known in 2015 with the song «Mi nuevo vicio», in collaboration with Paulina Rubio.

The members of Morat met while studying at the Gimnasio La Montaña, a private school in Bogotá, Colombia. From an early age they shared a love of music, taking part in school activities related to the arts and musical performances. It was in this setting that they began to form a connection not only as friends, but also as future bandmates.

During their school years, the members experimented with different musical genres, explored the use of instruments and discovered a shared interest in folk, pop and romantic ballads. At first, they played songs by other artists at gatherings with friends and at school events, but gradually began to compose their own pieces, which marked the start of their musical identity.

The Gimnasio La Montaña was not only the place where they met, but also the space where they took their first steps as musicians. The members say that many of the experiences and emotions of that period influenced the lyrics of their first songs. The chemistry between them, combined with their individual talents, motivated them to take the idea of forming a band seriously and to seek opportunities beyond the school environment. Thus, the school became the starting point of a friendship that later evolved into one of the most renowned bands in today's Latin pop scene.

Until the end of 2017, he had been part of the band Alejandro Posada Carrasco. But after leaving the group, Martín Vargas joined in his place that same year.
