Interview in HILANDO HISTORIAS:

'For a while now I've been listening to the music of multi-instrumentalist Michael Alfred Wagner better known as BIOMIGRANT.
Fascinated by his sound, which he defines as "electronica, roots music and soundscapes" and in which he integrates traditional instruments and collaborations with various musicians from different regions, we at HILANDO STORIES invited him to an exclusive interview, because we believe it is important to get to know talent that is experimenting and creating through communion between the traditional world of native peoples and the contemporary one.'

Article in Indie Rocks:
Experimentaciones electrónicas a
grito de cumbia.

After leaving some human artifact deep in any natural setting, we should not be surprised to find it, years later, wrapped in the flora and fauna that only surrounded it before. Nature advances by making everything it touches its own; the roots will break through, forming cracks, the rain will soften each texture until it becomes a hillside, being at the mercy of the elements it transforms in an infinitely natural way and sound does not seem to be the exception. Biomigrant portrays that change within the melodic world after allowing himself to be invaded by the folklore in which he lives.

CASSETTE BLOG on ‘Las Américas’

So, yes, "Las Américas" is an album that we can frame within the folktronica / organic house scene, but that is composed from the trips, the encounters, the emotions and the surprises that Michael found in his travels. This seems very important to me to highlight, because in the midst of today's world music / esoteric / mystical fashion, a scene that I have witnessed grow and evolve from within, it is not so common to find people who speak from the personal truth, that they are really interested in the colors that the world has to the point of committing themselves with those who are their main and original owners.

Radiónica on ‘La Muerte’

Manuel Antonio 'Toño' García is one of the most prominent folk artists in Colombia, after the death of Mañe Mendoza, Toño joined Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto, and won a Latin Grammy for the album Un fuego de sangre pura (2006), which has become a reference of the genre.
During his stay in San Jacinto, maestro Toño taught Michael the song 'Conmigo Nadie se Meta', written by Nando Coba which inspired Michael to create 'La Muerte', a reinterpretation of this song with Toño's voice and the Gaitas of Fredys, a student of maestro Manuel Antonio.
The income received from Biomigrant's La Muerte (remixes) project will be delivered to Toño García, so that the maestro can take care of his health and support himself in San Jacinto.

Article about the musical documentary ‘Aldea Mundial’

Beyond the informative content that a documentary can have, "Aldea Mundial" has artistic and even sociocultural value. Wagner, on his journey through Latin America and the Caribbean, became involved musically with the people of each region to reinterpret and create pieces of their folklore. But there is something else: he also explored the emotional part, so to speak, of those territories, using music as a pretext and, coming to touch on various aspects that concern everyone: mourning, wealth, language, all this from the idiosyncrasy of each town; revealing what it means to them and how they live it.
