Swing your hips, move your feet to Afro-Colombian rhythm with Caribe soul. Founders Nico Sanchez and guitarist Erick Bohorquez teamed up with guitarist Andres Villegas, drummer and vocalist Daniel Sanchez, bass and vocalist Nico Sanchez, percussionist Nicholas Tozzo, gaiter and vocalist Jaime Opina, and Raymond Johnson on tenor sax to form the collective. Their sound was defined when they met and recorded with Austins Grammy winning producer Adrian Quesa. Indigenous Colombian and African roots infuse with energetic brass to create a musical mixture with flavorful Caribbean beats.

BENEFITING AUSTIN COMMUNITY STEELBAND
A steel orchestra relies on each musicians ability to hit their notes, stay on tempo and put in the effort to create a spectacular experience for audiences. Austin Community Steelband's non-profit school is carrying out that mission to teach young students, with focus on at-risk kids, the art of playing diverse music on Steelpans and how to work together as a creative team.
