    BANANATIME x MARIA & JOAQUIN

    In the lively and diverse Mexico City, we had the pleasure of meeting María, a talented and sensitive photographer, and Joaquín, a music producer and bass player from Technicolor Fabrics. These two young creative talents from the city. This inspiring couple sparked our curiosity, and we were eager to talk with them and learn more about their story!

    BT: How did you meet?
    M & J: Some mutual friends wanted to introduce us because they thought we would be a perfect match. They tried setting us up a couple of times, but we couldn’t find the time. A month later, Joaquín reached out to María on Instagram to invite her for drinks at a restaurant-bar María suggested (Farmacia Internacional).

    BT: Do you think being creatives in different disciplines has brought you closer as a couple and as friends?
    M & J: Definitely. We enjoy doing a lot of things related to art, food, music, design, and nature.

    BT: How did you get into photography, and what do you enjoy most about working with it?
    Maria: I’ve always loved the idea of telling stories. I officially started when I met Joaquín, as one of his roommates at the time (now a close friend) lent me his cameras to learn and fall in love with photography.

    BT:How do you stay inspired with new ideas? Who are your influences?
    Maria: Traveling always opens my mind—meeting new people and learning about different cultures.

    BT:    What do you like to do during your BANANATIME—that is, your free time to rest or relax?
    Maria: Reading, going to the movies, and cooking.

    BT:Any recommendations for Mexico City? Restaurants, bars, things to do, etc.?
    Maria: Anahuacalli Museum, Chapultepec Forest, Café "Totte Para Todos," eating at Loose Blues in Juárez, browsing Antonia Librería, and trying García Madero’s pastries in Condesa.

    BT: How did you first get into music?
    Joaquin: My parents were my first influence—not because they were musicians, but because of the music that was always playing at home. Later, I met some friends who had a band and played covers. That made me want to do the same, so I started playing with my brother Cristóbal.

    BT: What do you enjoy most about performing live in front of an audience?
    Joaquin: Dancing and seeing the audience enjoy the songs we created, never imagining they’d resonate so deeply with so many people.

    BT: What do you like to do during your BANANATIME—that is, your free time to rest or relax?
    Joaquin: Going to the movies, working out, discovering new music, and visiting record stores.

    BT: Any recommendations for Mexico City? Restaurants, bars, things to do, etc.?
    Joaquin: Eating at Choza or Makan, running in Chapultepec Forest, digging for records at Salvaje Music Store or Revancha Records, and grabbing a drink at Minos Sound Room.
