Sounds Like
An Independence Day celebration on some equatorial island. There are nine of us; we all play our instruments extremely well; our songs develop naturally, if not automatically, from our chemistry. We blend many genres of music with consistent threads of danceable beats, delicious lead guitar riffs, thick basslines, fresh keys, hot hornlines, lively percussion and dynamic vocals (both hip-hop emceeing and singing).
Cross-genre. 9-piece live indie hip-hop band with a fresh infusion of afrobeat, rock, reggae, funk and a dash of blues. Hot horn lines and two singers: Jackie sings and rhymes with the fiery spirit of her native isle of Cuba. Krishan brings the lyricism of a veteran underground emcee from the east coast. Add to this equation thick basslines, top-notch guitar licks, rootsy percussion, hard-hitting drums and the crucial seasoning of keys. This is Bay Root.
