There's a whole other territory nestled deep within the heart of Texas...a city within the city of San Antonio. You can try tracking it on your iPhone but chances are that there is no listing for "San Anto." The street corners are lined with palateras, taquerias, and every variety of mom and pop shop imaginable. This is the setting of Diego Bernal's story and the source material for his music.... Although Bernal claims San Antonio as his home town, he spent much of his childhood traversing from home to Texas' Rio Grande Valley to California's Bay Area. Along the way Bernal soaked up the sounds- from the Latin harmonies of Trio Los Panchos and the R&B of Bill Withers and Joe Bataan
to the jazz of Charlie Mingus and McCoy Tyner. It was also the golden era of hip-hop and Bernal soon found himself infatuated with beats and production....
Bernal was born to parents who were educators, activists, and intellectuals- a former migrant farm worker and an education reformer- so it only makes sense that he is now an attorney for a national civil rights organization... oh, and makes some soulful beats on the side when he's not fighting for justice and equality.... "For Corners" is Diego Bernal's love letter to the music, cultures, era and people that nurtured him. The music is dusty and layered with Latin soul, from the triumphant blasts of horns to the laid back groove of lowrider melodies. It is a call to return to the simplicity and integrity of hip-hop's best moment and an invitation to enjoy a slightly different kind of southern comfort. Not so much dirty south as directly south.
Yo Diego Bernalasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.

Modern guacamole comes in a variety of forms and the same can be said about Fresh Guac. Letís not get it twisted, the 2 are completely different. For one, you canít eat hip-hop music, but you can dip your hips, much like you can dip the chip. Furthermore, you can rock out to both the edible version of Guacamole and the audible version at a party. So, we feel the title is just and well worthy of comparison. The Spaniards stole the recipe from the Aztecs and they stole the musical version from NYC, but it all equates to good feelings, vibes and relativity. As you listen to this record, think about the metaphor between the edible and audible GuacamoleÖItís made from the heart, soul and culture from which it originated. The sound is undoubtedly fresh and without comparison, so when you finally get the chance to indulge, youíll know its Fresh Guac!
