About Me

ANIMO PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS , MEZKLAH JAPAN TOKYO TOUR MARCH 2008 THANK YOU MUSIC CAMP, INC AND THE JUNKADELIC

Angel Garcia (vocals) and Greg Hernandez (guitar) are the visionaries who comprise the much heralded Los Angeles-based duo, Mezklah. By blending drum-n’-bass, cumbia, trip hop and afro-Cuban beats they create a unique style of music.


Mezklah’s love and appreciation of global cultures, heritage and rituals is visible in more than their music – it is on their skin. Angel paints tribal illustrations all over the duo’s bodies before every performance. “I think there’s a basic tribal nature that lives in our consciousness and is in our blood,” Explains Angel. “When I am body-painting, it is not just a calming, meditative process I go through before performing – it is a way to bring us back to our roots and a reminder that we are just a part of something that existed long before us. We are simply reconnecting to that power and consolidating in our world.” In addition to their striking visual presence on stage as well as Angel’s dynamic vocals and Greg’s sonically superior electric guitar, Mezklah augments their live performances by using accompanying tracks of prerecorded instruments and electronic beats.

Mezklah’s international debut album, “SpiderMonkey” (Escuchalo Records), breaks the traditional rules of language and song structure with tracks that flow between languages and genre seamlessly.


In addition to frequent touring in the United States, they have already completed a successful European tour and plan to return to Europe in 2007 after playing their official SXSW debut in March. Most recently, Mezklah performed in front of 20,000 people at La Seria del Libro Festival in Mexico City’s famed Zocalo square. The duo has played with such renowned artists as Ozomotli, Kinky, Maldita Vecindad and Antibalas, as well as gained a fan in Ry Cooder who asked Mezklah to do a track for a future compilation covering different genres of music from Los Angeles.
