About Me

Comprising rappers Seis (Alfonso García), Arsenal (Luis E. Bañuelos) and rapper/singer Vane (Arsenals sister Vanessa Bañuelos), L.A.-based La Sinfonia is also one of the few bands in its genre whose female member is a true equal. As Arsenal says: Every single thing on that album came from all three of us. They wrote or co-wrote nearly all of the 15 tracks.A David Salas production, El Dolor, La Lucha y El Triunfo features the single Inseparable, a dramatic story-song about love that transcends life itself.Though La Sinfonia formed in 2003, Vane, Arsenal and Seis have a deep background in music and the music business. With a group called Los Mafiosos, Seis and Arsenal had already made their mark in Latin underground hip-hop. Working their way up from the bottom, they encountered a maze of false promises, dead ends and deadbeats (the cut Respira tells the story), but their artistry and drive kept them going.Meanwhile, Vane was singing mariachi and banda music and going through tough times as well: There were a lot of men who wanted to take advantage of me, being a woman. But thanks to my mom, my dad and my brother (Arsenal), my family was there for me, taking care of me.But one night when Seis and Arsenal were listening to Vane sing mariachi music at a party, they realized she could be the missing link. In 2003, they headed to the studio and things clicked. I wanted to do something new, Vane said.In addition to the single Inseparable, other standouts on El Dolor, La Lucha y El Triunfo include Doble Filo, a powerful anthem about being Latino in the U.S.Infiel, meanwhile, tells the tale of an affair from two distinct points of view, and samples ranchera idol Alejandro Fernándezs Cómo Quién Pierde Una Estrella. Seis says Fernández himself gave his blessing to the track: It was a go le gustó (he liked it).Meanwhile, a creative take on Juan Gabriels Abrázame Muy Fuerte is impressive and uplifting, as La Sinfonia raps about the physical and emotional sacrifices people endure to give their family the best. We heard what Juan Gabriel was trying to get across to his mom, and for us it was a way of telling our parents something we couldnt tell them face-to-face, Arsenal says.Then theres A la Cama, which means to the bed yes, its message is just what you think it is. Arsenal, however, is quick to point out its tongue in cheek: I dont want girls to take it bad.La Sinfonia is one of rap musics most united groups the members finish each others sentences and talk openly and appreciatively about each others complementary personalities Arsenal is laid-back, while Seis says I'm more of a perfectionist. And as a unified group, La Sinfonia is the perfect band to share a message of unity with the Latino community.
