Meridian Brothers is an experimental band led by classically trained Colombian musician Eblis Álvarez,[1] who founded it as a solo project in Bogotá in 1998.

[3] While playing in short-lived group Ensamble Polifónico Vallenato, Álvarez began to use the Meridian Brothers project to experiment with traditional Colombian musical styles.

[2][4] In 2007 the project became a band, with Álvarez being joined by four of his friends from Javeriana University: María Valencia (clarinet, saxophone and synthesizers), Damián Ponce (percussion, replaced in 2016 by Mauricio Ramírez[5]), Alejandro Forero (keyboards), and César Quevedo (bass).

[12][13][14] In 2014 Meridian Brothers released the album Salvadora Robot on Soundway Records,[15] and played Villette Sonique, Paléo Festival, and Rock al Parque.

"[20] In 2021 they released joint album Paz en La Tierra with fellow Bogotá band Conjunto Media Luna, also on Bongo Joe.
