About Me

TIJUANA CARTEL -

Tijuana Cartel express phenomenal diversity and introduce a somewhat intelligent and original sound to the ear, bringing flamenco guitar, slide guitar, MCs, percussion,and scratch DJs to the live forum.
The live performances are a concoction of multi-layered grooves, splashes of Middle Eastern vocals, lilting Moby-esque soundscapes, Flamenco and slide guitar, electronic world beats and live percussion all randomly supported by poetic social commentary and song courtesy of MC Regan Hoskins.Their musical energy & unrestrained delivery is thrilling audiences wherever they perform . Their tunes meander their way across the bumpiest musical terrain, a rhythmic body moved with stately deliberation creating inspiring & infectious rhythms.“Tijuana were the hit of the festival - no-one knew what to expect and everyone was blown away.” Phoebe Corke Earth Dance Promoter WATijuana Cartel houses Paul George and Carey O'sullivan as co-producers, guitarists and keyboard players. Regan Hoskins as MC & Daniel Gonzalez as percussionist and a growing list of guests as live feature artists.
