Description

Latin Funk Ensemble blends the sounds of early 70’s Funk & Soul, Latin Jazz, Afrobeat, Psychedelic Rock and Hip-Hop Get your dancing shoes on!! Mestizo Beat is a Latin Funk Ensemble, colliding extraordinary musicianship and lineage to blast the roof off Corazon, in support of Topanga Canyon's cultural, live music and healing arts space in need of a little love to keep the pulse going. (It's been an extremely rough pandemic for Corazon, after almost 2 years of combined closure time.) Mestizo Beat is an instrumental group that blends the sounds of early 70’s Funk & Soul, Latin Jazz, Afrobeat, Psychedelic Rock and Hip-Hop. The group is highly inspired by artists such as War, James Brown and The J.B.’s, Mongo Santamaria, Fela Kuti, Parliament Funkadelic, and The Meters. Mestizo Beat was formed in late 2016 in Topanga, CA by the Magaña Brothers, Aquiles and Agustin Magaña. The band name is influenced by their Salvadoran roots. Both working musicians in the Los Angeles music scene, they wanted to combine their efforts to create compositions inspired from some of their favorite artists that would focus on elements of tight rhythms, big horn sections, and instrumental arrangements.
