The first release “Cuchata” churns together influences spanning the Latin American diasporas. Taking hints from the musical traditions of Nicaragua, Peru, Cuba, Columbia, and Argentina and fluidly mixing them into one cohesive sound. After several years of travel and exposure to more cultures, Marcelo became disenchanted with the idea of a single culture, and began to embrace multiple cultures for their unique musical influences. Cuchata’s second album “Sangre Mixto”, showed the diversity of the band’s style, and Marcelo’s talent in creating a unique musical flow.  It was a departure from the acoustic trio sound of the first release, introducing electric guitar and brass as well as experimenting with English lyrics.
