"A little bit of LOVE is all it takes"

About Me

Somos, WE ARE , a Latin Funk Fusion force to be enjoyed by all music loving minds. It is a fusion of eight musical souls, each one adding a unique taste of their own. When ears and souls need connecting, Somos seems to more than complete the task. The original songs are filled with the powers of freedom and individuality; much needed aspects during a time when both seem to be quickly fading. The slick rhythms of this all-original band reviving the 70s Latin Funk scene are lead by Emiliano Valdez on lead vocals and rhythm guitars. The booty infecting back-beat grooves of Brandon Guevara on drums. Also featured, are the super-soul duo background singers Katrina Valdez, and Jeremiah Martinez, who always bring down the house with their ever-funktified vocals and ass-shaking extravaganza. Somos is on a mission to revolutionize music back to the day when the beats and grooves were living in the real and spreading a positive groove consciousness for all to enjoy.
