AB - Ancienne Belgique

Swinging release party from Brussels-based Latin alternative band

Chicos y Mendez, the Belgian-Peruvian music project led by singer-songwriter David Méndez Yépez, is finally back in Brussels to celebrate the release of their new album.
For the past ten years, Chicos y Mendez has been forging a path between Europe and Latin America — from Belgium to Mexico, through France, the Netherlands, Peru, and Ecuador — with a vibrant Latin Alternative sound. A bold fusion of Afro-Latin rhythms, pop, rock, and reggae, carried by lyrics in Spanish and French, blending stage energy with poetic commitment.


After a detour into theatre with the acclaimed "Recordar, c'est vivre à nouveau" — a play co-created with his sister and hailed by RTBF as “the most beautiful show of the season” — David returns to his first love: music.


On October 2, Chicos y Mendez comes back to Brussels, the city he now calls home. After igniting the AB in 2021 with a post-Covid reopening show, a double bill with Flavia Coelho that left a mark, the band is ready to write the nextn musicalchapter. ¡Vamos!

Primavera is not simply an ode to renewal.

It's a song about the courage to blossom again after winter, when everything in us still bears the traces of cold, waiting and silence. It's a lucid spring, a spring that doesn't erase anything, but integrates everything.

"Hoy sí estamos aquí, crisálida...".

The word crisálida says it all: the in-between, the slow metamorphosis,

the impetus that germinates without us yet seeing it.

Inspirée par une introspection profonde liée à ses racines,

à l’exil et à l’histoire de sa famille au Pérou, l’artiste évoque un chemin intérieur amorcé par la création de la pièce "Recordar, c’est vivre à nouveau" qu'il porte sur scène avec sa soeur Marisel Mendez Yepez.

"Primavera" symbolise ce moment fragile de transformation — comme une chrysalide — où l’on refleurit, non pas en oubliant le passé, mais en le faisant germer autrement.

It's also a song about the childhood we still carry, about that part of us that observes, doubts and hopes.

Primavera paves the way for the next album.
An album about reconnecting after a journey.
How we love again. How we touch. How you dance.
Not like before, but with more presence, more warmth, more space.
