Bocastria is proud to announce the release of its new album, Texicana, on October 21, 2008.
Bocastria’s first full-length album, Texicana, takes you on a journey from Rock to Ranchera to Tejas Reggaeton - all in Spanglish harmony. Texicana describes a unique musical style that is Bocastria’s own, and it places the band at the forefront in helping define what Latin Fusion means in Texas today.
Latin Grammy Nominee, Jonny Martinez assisted on several of Texicana’s recordings. In 2006, he recorded Bocastria’s first E.P., Enter the Groove, which gained local and worldwide attention with its single and music video for “Cuanto.”
Bocastria has been together for three years, and it has been steadily gaining recognition. On May 17, 2007, the band was honored by the City of Austin with “Bocastria Day.” It has performed in several well-known showcases such as the Pachanga Festival, Tejas Records VIP Party, SX-Tex-Mex Awards, and 107. 1 KGSR’s Social Club. Bocastria has appeared on several TV programs and has shared the stage with a variety of Latino musicians such as Vallejo, Grupo Fantasma, Molotov, Michael Salgado, Los Desparadoz, and Girl in a Coma.
Bocastria started in the living room of singer/keyboardist Tanya Martinez and drummer Nathan Cardenas. Joined by guitarist Buddy Villanueva, the trio began to write and record. Later it was joined by bassist Kenneth Null. Each member’s musical taste varied so much; the end result was an eclectic Tex-Mex sound no one could have imagined.
