Арика-и-Паринакота
José Antonio Bravo was born in Arica, a city in the extreme northern region of Arica y Parinacota Region of Chile in 1975. Bitman moved to Santiago in the 1990s to study and then work as a designer. There he met architect Christian Powditch, with whom he began to explore music composition with very simple software. The duo eventually acquired the name “Bitman &amp; Roban” (a play on Batman &amp; Robin). The sound of their first album “Hurtos” (“Robberies”, 2000) was very close to Hip Hop. On their second album, “Robar es natural” (“Stealing is natural”, 2002), the duo included real voices and instruments, changing the previous purely digitally constructed sound.
