From Morat to ‘A la orilla de la luz’

Jericó 2026, Saturday 24 January 2026

Simón Vargas is known as the singer and bassist of the group Morat. But the artistic creativity of this Colombian musician knows no boundaries, and he has recently published a book of stories that he himself illustrated: A la orilla de la luz, in which Bogota becomes a protagonist in this collection of tales with intertwined characters and settings. This book, with more than a touch of magic realism, is both real and imaginary, with taxi drivers of perverse tastes, mysterious beings who live in the mist, and children who could be parents. He will talk to Jorge Caraballo.
