Héctor Buitrago is the co-member of the multiple Grammy winning Colombian Latin alternative band Aterciopelados.
Buitrago came from a hardcore rock background, heading a group called La Pestilencia, while co-member Andrea Echeverri had been drawn into the fledgling scene through art school friends.
Hector Buitrago's Conector (a play on words between the homophone con Héctor, "with Héctor", and the word “connector”), released in 2006, marks the first solo project by the Aterciopelados co-founder, following in the footsteps of Aterciopelados frontwoman Andrea Echeverri, whose debut solo album was released a year before.
The album combines elements of contemporary rock and electronica with traditional Colombian and global rhythms as well as thoughtful and spiritual lyrics.
The first single was “Altísimo” featuring the unlikely vocal pairing of Spanish pop artist Álex Ubago and Echeverri.
