LOS ANGELES - Californer -- California Soul Music (Record Label) is very pleased to announce their latest signing of LA Based Funk/Soul/Afro-Latin instrumental band Mestizo Beat, with their debut LP entitled Canoga Madness out Summer 2020.
When asking the group what to expect when listening to the album, co-founder Aquiles Magaña states "The band is highly influenced by rhythmic instrumental music from the late 60's/early 70's from all around the globe. In the new LP you can expect to hear the influences from different countries such as Nigera, Ethiopia, and Cuba mixed in with our gritty Los Angeles sound."
The band was formed by the Magaña Brothers, lead guitarist Aquiles Magaña and drummer Agustin Magaña in Topanga, CA late 2016. The band name is influenced from their Salvadoran roots and their aspiration for providing music that ignites the dance floor.
