The Band

Some bands are born from ambition.
ÄSTRA is the latter.

“I just write music that I would listen to. Numbers and streams aren’t irrelevant — but they’re secondary. I want to make something timeless.”Guillermo Morales Vitola

Created by drummer, songwriter and producer Guillermo Morales Vitola, and fronted by Cosme on vocals and Martin Delahaye on bass, ÄSTRA is not a calculated project — it is a compulsion. A lifeline. A band built around the need to create, to make noise, and to turn something internal into something physical.

At the core of the sound is an urgent collision of raw guitars, vintage synth textures, driving bass and pounding drums. Cosme’s commanding vocals, Martin’s bass and Guillermo’s visceral drumming transform tension into movement — melody and grit, warmth and darkness, past and future.

THE THRESHOLD

On stage

ÄSTRA doesn’t just play.
It hits. It moves. It lingers.

“If you throw us into a festival with a decent soundcheck, it’s going to be ridiculous.”Guillermo Morales Vitola

The recordings establish the atmosphere; the live show turns it into something visceral. Driven by Guillermo’s powerful drumming, Martin’s bass and Cosme’s intensity, the band creates an immersive, physical performance where the energy between the musicians and the audience becomes part of the music itself.

That live force has already been proven on major stages — including Vive Latino 2023 — and in collaborations with Enrique Bunbury on “De La Piel Para Adentro” and Alfonso André on “Navaja.”
