		From a past in which the canarian instrument was played simply as an accompanying instrument, its use was revolutionised during the seventies and eighties by Totoyo Millares, who converted it into a soloist’s instrument and created a school which produced several ‘timple’ players.
		His records ‘Antologia del timple canario’ (Anthology of the Canarian timple) -in three volumes- is from this period as was his project to create a ‘timple’ orchestra.
		The fruit of this aforementioned initiative is the apparition in recent years of three people who practice different musical styles: José Antonio Ramos, who makes records in which the ‘timple’ is mixed in the fusion and creation of themes inspired by traditional music and jazz.

		The beginning of the year 2002, two musicians with different influences but with the same musical intentions decide to give birth to a whole new concept of music based on the composition of electronic-based but rock-performed songs, though equally oriented to gigs, the dance floor or just for mere home-listening.
		Musically, and since their first steps, the band has always tried to create songs that are clearly influenced by modern electronic music, but mixed with the bands' own and unique view and technique, which means powerful beats, melodic sequences, and lively and ever-changing songs that makes everyone aware of what they're listening to.
		But the great response on Re/Move's music was not only proved outside the Canary Islands, but also inside.
