Damon Albarn says that Gorillaz is going through a strong creative moment, especially after his trip to India. Their new album, The Mountain, represents a new phase for the project: it is aspirational, multicultural, and created in six languages, blending sounds from India, Latin America, Africa, punk, and electronic music.

He highlights the importance of understanding other cultures, breaking stereotypes, and using music as a bridge that brings people together. He mentions Latin artists such as Trueno and Bizarrap, and says that Mexico has always felt like a spiritual home for Gorillaz since 2000.

He shares that his daughter introduced him to newer artists like Bad Bunny and Trueno, which inspires him. He recommends listening to The Mountain somewhere high up and gives a piece of life advice: always keep learning and remain present.

He ends by presenting the track El Manifiesto, which musically travels through different parts of the world.
