Rolling Stone Latin America
"With an excellent mix of lounge and acid jazz, Sr.Mandril conquered the audience in both presentations at the 27th edition of the Montreal International Jazz Festival 2006...Ramsés Ramírez and Germán González captivated the audience with their music..."

XLR8R Mag
Mexico City's Sr. Mandril lives up to its district's new global reputation on this experimental effort. Fronted by Germán González and Ramsés Ramírez, this group's future-jazz sound bridges programmed and live instrumentation for a freeform output that never quite follows one steady sonic path. It's no wonder Sr. Mandril was such a huge hit at Montreal's Jazz Fest in 2006-these guys thrive on improvisation. On any given track, one can expect to hear a new amalgam-"El Otro Joe," for one, features elements of soulful house, Latin rock, and jazz. Because of Sr. Mandril's jam-band style, though, these tunes may be better enjoyed when played on the stage.

Biography
Sr. Mandril was born in 2000 when Germán González and Ramsés Ramírez decided to mix their musical ideas. The result is electronic elements are mixed with organic instruments creating a sonic image of colors, sounds and influences that go from acid jazz and ambient to latin, and from lounge to trip-hop with a progressive rhythm and a slice of house.

Sr. Mandril has been busy in 2003 - 2008, playing at festivals like Toronto at the Small World Music Festival 2007, Montreal Jazz Festival 2006 Canada, Puerta de las Américas 2006 México City, Sueño Verde 2005 San Luis Potosí, Cumbre Tajín 2004, Veracruz and Xcéntrico 2004 (Festival del Centro Histórico) Mexico City, Festival del Despertar 2003  Morelos,  as well as bars and parties around Mexico.

The CD in Mexico was one of the Top Ten Best Latin Albums of the year by Rolling Stone (Latin America). It was produced by Sr. Mandril in co-production with Discos Konfort with the special collaboration of Bishop in the mix and Flux in the creation of 2 remixes. The new album also comes with a brand new mix of Brillo and a remix of Lover from Three Sixty Records head honcho, Darkhorse.
