Monguito was 'conceived' after Miguel Angel and Mauro Pawlowski first
collaborated on a record tribute to Sun Ra. Although never released, the project identified obvious musical connections between the two.

A session followed which resulted in one of their first recordings "on the one" featured on the Trompete in God release. The concept was born, and so now it only had to be decided what they were going to call the project. During a car journey (back from recording "on the one"), Miguel suggested the name "Monguito" after a lo-fi Argentinian comedy movie called "E.T contra los fantasmas" ("E.T against the ghosts"), where Monguito was the central character.

Dagobert Sondervan joined the project in the summer of 2001, along with his electronic expertise.

As you will discover from visiting the sound section, every performance is unique statement of free jazz improvisation.
