Sueca (pronounced Swe-ka) is a trio of two brothers and a childhood friend who are not afraid to push the boundaries and take chances with their music. Whether they are story telling, or speaking from personal experiences, Sueca always remains true to who they are as a whole, while keeping their own individually.
Kcir and Matador (brothers) first met Vin-E at an early age, within the Portuguese community, in Victoria B.C. Sharing a common interest in music, the trio began recording together in the bothers basement-studio. All it took was one track and the bond was set. Their studio consisted of three things: a mic, a two-track recording computer program and most importantly, their creativity. Making due with what they had, they found a way to express them selves through music. Growing as artists they recruited other local Victoria rappers and collectively called themselves The Knight Ridaz. They produced three albums featuring over twenty different artists, all in the brothers basement-studio.
Eventually the Knight Ridaz crew parted ways. The trio decided to shed the large group mentality and concentrate on something of their own. Kcir, Matador and Vin-E reverted back to where they started. Armed with a new sound and a fresh outlook, the boys adopted the name Sueca. The name derives from an old Portuguese card game played with two teams of two. The objective of the game is to outsmart the opposition by understanding and anticipating their partners moves. This sixth sense that is needed to win the game is evident in Suecas music.
Sueca creates rhymes with seamless delivery and melodic hooks that the world can sing. They infuse the energy of urban music with Latin rhythms to produce a sound that captures the soul of their Portuguese heritage and their upbrining in Canada.
