In Los Mocosos" musical world, rock, Latin, funk and Jamaican ska, blend together in a melting pot of sweaty horns, stinging guitars, and rock solid funky rhythms. After being handpicked by Carlos Santana to open a series of Santana arena dates last year, Los Mocosos went straight into the studio to create their latest release, American Us. The new CD takes this San Francisco based group on a quantum leap into new sonic territory. Produced by Greg Landau (Quetzal, Patato, Bobi Cespedes, Susana Baca) and mixed by Garry Hughes and Donal Hodgson (Sting, Vitamin C, Tina Turner) American Us is the most mature and accessible offering yet from this multi-cultural band. From the fresh cover of the classic low-rider anthem, "I’m Your Puppet" to the irresistible ska/pop of " Hey Mama" American Us is sure to open many new ears to the Los Mocosos sound.
