Have you ever come across a musician who can pretty much turn an acoustic guitar into a device that can reverse the course of time? Harry Kappen is one of those. This Dutch born Mexico enthusiastic is making noise in the industry with a sound that is both, nostalgic and puzzling. However, in a song titled “Where the Volcano is Awake,” he does not just sell a catchy tune, but rather a narrative that cuts Hary’s journey from Dutch flowers to wild Mexican cuisine.

Harry Kappen: Embracing New Beginnings with 'Where the Volcano is Awake' Have you ever come across a musician who can pretty much turn an acoustic guitar into a device that can reverse the course of time? Harry Kappen is one of those. This Dutch born Mexico enthusiastic is making noise in the industry with a sound that is both, nostalgic and puzzling. However, in a song titled "Where the Volcano is Awake," he does not just sell a catchy tune, but rather a narrative that cuts Hary’s journey from Dutch flowers to wild Mexican cuisine. Copped from his buzzworthy album "Time Will Tell," this track resembles a burrito that has been lying in the fridge for a week, heavy with interesting details. If anything, I picked some elements of Beatles, Queen and Bowie, your ears do not betray you, you have heard it right. But forget about thinking that they are mere clones. It seems that he has assimilated these influences, smashed those into a blender with the genie’s bone and chipped out a new direction. This song is filled with different emotions and it is almost like watching an erratic movie, on some days when you feel all emotional, the next day you are all set to get up and do a salsa on the top of a volcano. That volcano in the title? It's not just a pretty image. It's Harry's way of saying "buckle up, life's about to get interesting." And interesting it is - this guy's previous tracks have racked up over half a million Spotify hits. Not too shabby. So, ready for a musical adventure? Harry's inviting you along for the ride, and trust me, you'll want to sing along. Stick around as we chat with the man himself about what sparked this volcanic tune, how he works his magic in the studio, and what's on the horizon for this globe-trotting troubadour. Listen to 'Where the volcano is awake' below https://open.spotify.com/track/1EGI5HZqbh61uAzRC8lARS?si=4FKVF0DlQOC-CZlM1OJPXw Follow Harry Kappen on Facebook Twitter Spotify Youtube Instagram Tiktok   Are there any lyrical passages in the song that hold special meaning for you? HK: The song ends with “Let it go, let it go” which is a lot of fun to sing. It emphasizes the feeling of a new beginning (without forgetting where you come from, of course) What was the most challenging aspect of creating "Where the volcano is awake”? HK: I liked the process of creating the entire album 'Time will tell', all twelve songs were created in a smooth way. Without special challenges. And I took the time to record it. Some songs took a little longer, but 'Where the volcano' came relatively quickly. Did you collaborate with anyone on this single? HK: No. My last two albums; 'Escape' and 'Time will tell' I was alone in the whole process. Writing, playing, producing, etc. That's how I like it. How do you think your fans will respond to this new release? Does it signal any new directions in your music? HK: My music is very eclectic in nature, so it can go in many directions. I don't have any fans in mind when I record a song. I write for myself about my experiences, thoughts etc etc, and I hope others can relate to that. I get very positive reactions on TikTok, Spotify, Facebook and Instagram, so I think it will be fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdlu0mKk2HY&feature=youtu.be Are there plans for a music video to accompany the single? HK: I made a lyric video for the song: And it will be that way for a while. Looking ahead, what's next for Harry Kappen after this single? HK: I’m already busy writing and recording the new album. I don't know yet when it will be released, I suspect very early in the new year. For developments and news there is my website: www.harrykappen.com.
