Darío Imaz has teamed-up with a talented crew

Mamis Solidarias foundation, this album will improve the lives of
vulnerable and underprivileged children in Argentina in the hopes of
transforming their future.
Says Darío: "This is another example of just
how compassionate, unified, and thoughtful the rock community can be
when there are those in need."
Packed with emotion, tight harmonies, and featuring some of the best
musicians in the world, "Vox Popurrí - Vol. I" is a must-have for
any rock lover. When the album ends, you’ll either regret never

songs already. Experience the most far-reaching collaboration in
Latin-American rock history!

The Winnery Dogs), Bruce Kulick (KISS), Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake),
Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Alice Cooper), Alex Staropoli
(Rhapsody Of Fire), Oliver Wakeman (YES), Brad Divens (Souls at

Born in Argentina, Darío Imaz spent his childhood with a guitar in
one hand and a book in the other. At 14, he was already touring with
metal bands nation-wide, and at 18 he was a session guitarist for
the Mapuche musician Juan Namuncurá.
Attracted by the cultures of the world, Darío traveled extensively
to remote places in the Middle East and East Asia. Afterward, he
settled down in Japan where he has lived since 2009.
Bent on developing a singular sound of his own after playing in
multiple bands, Darío began to create his solo project, influenced
by the diverse music he had experienced around the world.
Darío Imaz stands out most for his versatility when composing,
including in his repertoire of music everything from electronic
sounds (EDM) to melodies influenced by traditional Japanese music.
Darío's artistic development is also multifaceted. Upon arriving in
Japan, he began developing a career in acting and modeling that led
him to act in numerous Japanese TV shows and renowned films. He has
had the honor of acting alongside Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult,
and has been directed by Takeshi Kitano, a leading director of
Japanese cinematography. In May 2021, he published his first book,
GEOILUSIÓN, in which he recounts his travels through almost 50
countries.
After releasing two self-produced albums (writing, playing, and
mixing all instruments on his own), Darío’s new album Vox Popurrí -
Vol. I showcases his peak artistic inspiration and motivation.
