The GET - Del Viento | MATERIAL SOUNDS
The GETis an electro-folk band from New Orleans, founded by Nicaraguan singer-songwriter and guitarist George Elizondo. With a unique approach that fuses electronic music, folk, art rock, and post-punk, the band has stood out for its ability to blend acoustic instruments with beats and synthesizers, creating a distinctive and experimental sound. The GET’s lineup includes Chris Beroes-Haigis on cello and effects, and Vivi del Rio on backing vocals, keyboards, drum machine, synthesizers, and effects. Together, the trio explores a vast sonic universe that spans genres and styles ranging from Latin music to electronic avant-garde.
Elizondo’s Nicaraguan and Cuban heritage is a clear influence on The GET’s songs, which are written in both English and Spanish. This allows them to merge Latin American cultural and musical elements with the sonic experimentation that characterizes the New Orleans scene. Through their lyrics, the band conveys a deep sense of identity and connection to their roots, while also drawing from a wide range of international influences such as Gustavo Cerati, Luis Alberto Spinetta, Radiohead, Juana Molina, Sybille Baier, and James Blake, among others.
The GET won the 2024/2025 Artist Residency at the Material Institute in New Orleans, a non-profit arts center dedicated to creatively supporting artists by providing shared spaces for expression in the fields of music, fashion design, and gardening. The fellowship includes the full recording, mixing, and mastering of an album, as well as a professional live video.
The GET is currently finishing their debut album, El Paraíso, which is expected to be released in early 2026. With this new project, the band aims to continue expanding its musical horizons and solidifying its place as one of the most innovative acts in the contemporary music scene.

Paraíso
El
In their debut album El Paraíso, the electro-folk band The GET bursts onto the scene with a unique sonic vision that fuses folk, rock, pop, classical music, and electronic sounds in an emotional journey as delicate as it is explosive.
With a rich and eclectic sonic palette, the album moves through nine songs that shift between introspection and chaos, exploring everything from the deeply personal —such as addiction and the struggle to break self-destructive cycles— to existential questions about life, death, and the decay of society and the planet.
El Paraíso is not a place, but a shifting state, full of beauty, fury, and vulnerability. A debut record unafraid to venture into darkness with raw honesty and profound sensitivity. El Paraíso is set to be released in early 2026.
