Velorio

As purveyors of fine traditional and updated Latin Alternative sounds performing up and down the west coast, the music of Velorio blurs the lines between traditions from the past to the present with a style and edge all their own. Writing and recording original dance heavy, feel good music that touches both the soul and heart con labor, it’s an irresistible combination that’s been proven and repeatedly put to the test since their inception decade ago. With an extensive national tour and countless statewide treks under their belt, their commitment to broadening their appeal caught the eyes and ears of national cable network IsTV who tapped the group to appear on their reality competition show “Jammin” that teamed the group with celebrity coach, Pitbull in 2008. The following year, MTV Tres featured the group helping establish their name as a contender among the new wave of Latin acts breaking new sonic ground. A brief glance at Velorio’s extensive festival and club performance resume includes sharing stages with some of Latin music’s biggest names including: Carla Morrison, El Gran Silence, Hoppo (featuring members of Cafe Tacuba), La Santa Cecilia, Panteon Rococo, Victimas Del Doctor Cerebro, Celso Pina, La Sonora Dinamita, Mento Buru, Little Joe y La Familia, Malo, Tierra, and The English Beat, showing off the groups ability to bring audiences of every demographic and musical taste together as lights dim onstage and the first note hits collective senses.
