Tijuana Cartel
Multi-layered grooves, touches of slide and flamenco guitar, trumpet, vocals and Afro Cuban Percussion mixed with some hardened electronica – it’s a combo that’s intriguing, energetic and utterly delicious! Constant touring here and abroad and an enduring love affair with live gigs, give Tijuana Cartel a very raw and electric energy. What makes Tijuana Cartel so unique is their ability to so beautifully combine elements of so many different musical origins into one track. Despite the shades of world music the band fit more comfortably within the Indy/Electronica scene. Tijuana Cartel have managed to add their own tinge to what is becoming a new era of globalising western music. The band have also toured relentlessly playing at many of Australia’s favourite festivals including, Falls Festival, South Bound, Byron Bay Blues and Roots, Good Vibes, Rainbow Serpent and Sunset sounds amongst an impressive list of private shows around the country and through most of Asia. Tijuana Cartel houses Paul George and Carey O’Sullivan as co-producers, guitarists and keyboard players. Daniel Gonzalez on Afro Cuban percussion and Josh Sinclair on trumpet. Don’t miss their set on the 25th March to hear the funky flamenco phat electronic dance beats of the Tijuana Cartel.
