Milwaukee-Chicago based Hip-Hop group Kinto Sol,
continue making noise as they take Latin Hip-Hop back to
the forefront on their new album titled "La Sangre Nunca
Muere" (Bloodlines Never Die) available now in the
United States and Mexico on Latin label DISA Records.
For over a
decade Kinto Sol has created music rooted in their
cultural pride, personal urban experiences growing up as
Mexican immigrant youth in the midst of the Midwest,
coalesced with their love for rap music, producing their
signature sound. |
Together in perhaps the most unlikely place for a Mexican
family to settle (Milwaukee) they would embark on a musical
experience based on a strong work ethic and family bond, all
key elements that would lead them to widespread success,
without ever compromising their musical vision.
Kinto Sol is comfortable exploring beyond their genre
boundaries by working on several song collaborations with
traditional Mexican artists such as: cumbia master Chon
Arauza, the Duranguense-style popular group K-Paz de La
Sierra and 'grupero' icons Liberacion. Evidencing Kinto
Sol's limitless musical prowess, as well as the growing
acceptance among mainstream Mexican music fans.
In 2005, Kinto Sol delivers another Latin
influenced-hypnotic-beat album titled "La Sangre Nunca Muere"
(Bloodlines Never Die) released earlier this month (March
3). On this occasion featuring 13 super tracks, the
group opted for a more profound and reflexive approach to
life by embracing their cultural roots and exploring those
feelings of love, sorrow, reflection, anger and success.
Highlights on this album are title track"La Sangre Nunca
Muere," "Pase Lo Que Pase," "Mi Pasado," "Y Como Yo," "Esa
Es Familia," among others that portray their unique cultural
mosaic. Musically this album offers an infectious
sound that combines hip-hop, cumbia, even as the Garcia
brothers drop gems in English, they have continued to sample
traditional Latin music to give each track their cultural
seal of approval.
In addition to great music, the album includes an extensive
DVD showcasing an in depth interview of the band, concert
footage of live performances of the songs "No Muerdas La
Mano," "Raza Es Raza," "Hecho En Mexico," plus the videos "Hecho
En Mexico," "El Capitan," "Raza Es Raza," "Jambalaya,"
featuring popular 'Regional Mexican act K-Paz de La Sierra,
"Que Me Entierren Con La Banda," "Vamonos," "Soy Yo" and a
quirky commercial announcing their extensive merchandising.
The group's name derives from the Aztec legend that states 'kinto
sol' would be the last sun to set in this life time, so
Skribe decided that in their quest in Hip-Hop music their
battle in the fact will endure all obstacles …becoming the
last sun to set in this battle, where the only winners are
their fans.
Originally from the Mexican state of Guanajuato the Garcia
family immigrated to the U.S. in search of a better life in
the United States settling in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Soon
after they would meet 'El Gordo' a Long Beach native whose
parents moved from California to Milwaukee. Soon the destiny
of these young talented men united them, becoming one of the
pioneering Latin Hip Hop recording artists in the U.S. and
Mexico. Kinto Sol's discography includes: "Kinto Sol"
(2000) "Hecho En Mexico," (2003) "Del Norte Al Sur" (2004)
and "La Sangre Nunca Muere" (2005).
