About us: I am the bass half of a drummer/ bassist duo looking for musicians and vocalists for Los Niños Dificiles, a latin pop band. Currently, all covers, but no objection to originals. I can write, but I sure as heck can’t sing, the drummer can and does ok.
The intent is a 5 or 6 person band, in the style of Julieta Venégas and Los Angeles Azules: drums, bass, guitar, horn (trumpet or trombone, maybe French horn?), accordion, percussion, and vocals. We are looking for the raw energy of punk, and the musicianship of Carlos Santana. 95% of vocals in Spanish or Brazilian Portugese, almost all songs from south of the US/Mexican border. Covers of: Los Lobos!, Shakira, Sadé, Los Toucanes, Tito Puenté, Santana, Laura Leon, Bunburry, Mikel Erentxun, Mana, Vela Puerca, Los Rodriguez, Natalia LaFourcade, Elefanté, Gaby Moreno, Los Tigres del Norte, Los Palominos, Molotov, Selena, Girl in a Coma, Edith Marquez, Sergio Mendes, the Plugz, Gloria Trevi, and Los Saicos.
In the words of Sting “In rock and roll, you have to BURN from the very first note”. Of this is your approach, come check our playing.
We are an Urugayan (drummer) and Californio (bassist) seeking other players, immigrant and native, to join us in bringing some high-energy dance music to the latino communities of northern California. We are based in Santa Cruz, with an audience range from Soledad in the south, north to Napa, and from the beach east to Morgan Hill, and mayyyybe into the Central Valley. Women highly encouraged to join us - for one, you hold up half the sky, for two, you can do justice to all those wonderful Latina singers, where I just peel paint.
Viva La Evolucion!
