The first solo work of which he was the vocalist of Elephants and member (together with your partner) of The average Luna ya tiene nombre: Universe.
Shuarma is in the middle of recording Universe, low production Joe Dworniak and this is being recorded on the way between London, Barcelona and Africa. Defines work as an emotional x-ray, intense in his sensations and committed to his own feelings.
From the website of Shuarma you can read interesting things like this:
Universe
Because the Universe is everything,
and because the Universe is nothing.
Because the Universe is good,
and because the Universe is also evil.
Because the Universe is peace,
and because the Universe is also war.
Because the Universe is blinding light,
and because the Universe is also total darkness.
Because the Universe is immense,
and because sometimes we can't find it.
Because we are all within the same Universe,
and because we all feel a different Universe.
Because there are millions of whys….
like you can also read Universe backwards.
And because I am discovering my own Universe,
and it's also a word that I love.
For that and for many other things that I still don't know.,
my first solo album will be called “Universe”

Go slow when you go up the mountain,
when you come down from the branch,
when you jump over a fence,
and go slow when the shrapnel comes.
Go slowly if you're dying of desire,
and go slow if you get too bored …
go slowly if the future goes to the past ,
go slow when it's too heavy.
Go slowly when crossing a street,
go slowly when you pick up the call,
go slowly if someone steps on you on the subway,
go slow when you're dying of laughter.
Go slow when you want to go slow,
and go slowly when the rush pushes you,
go slowly when next to the ledge,
you see time go too slow.
Go slowly and if you can, go singing,
that singing everything happens more slowly,
and slowly is not just going slowly,
but pay attention to what happens next to you.
Go slowly with a tumult of suitcases,
that climb the walls of other houses,
not in yours that is absorbed by the sidewalk,
while looking to go slower and slower …
go slowly.
Shuarma.
