Biography:

At the forefront of the exciting Post-Latin music scene, this fresh, raw band challenges all traditionalists. Exploring the intersection of Surf and Latin music, Carne Cruda isn’t afraid to mash The Ventures against the Buena Vista Social Club and see what comes out. Produced by four-time Grammy®-nominated producer Greg Landau, Carne Cruda is raw and rocking and coming your way.

Press:

"I Love you More than Tacos" has become something of an anthem in the wake of the #TacoTruckOnEveryCorner controversy. Last week, Latinos for Trump co-founder Marco Gutierrez inspired the hashtag when he told MSNBC that there "will taco trucks on every corner" if the United States doesn't do something about immigration. On social media, many reacted by supporting the idea of a taco truck on every corner. Donald Trump also caused a taco-related stir when he published a photo of himself eating a taco bowl in Trump Tower on Cinco de Mayo this year. “I love Hispanics!” he wrote as a caption. The cumbia song, sung in both English and Spanish, speaks of a man's love so profound that he would give his tacos and burritos to someone else. "But if you meet me at the taco stand ... To properly articulate my love for you, este es el lugar [this is the place]," the song goes.

“It's brilliant. By now, loyal reader, you know that I enjoy bands that don't sound like 40 other artists. If you are like me, you should add Oakland's Tight to your collection. I doubt you have anything quite like this album.”

“It’s funk; it’s Latin; no, it’s Carne Cruda! Spearheading the post-Latin genre in a major way, this band is taking the world by storm, from Oakland to Macedonia and back. Carne Cruda’s music conjoins aspects of nearly every kind of booty bouncin’ sound familiar to us including soul, ska, surf and salsa.”
