For six years El Tule (el TOO-lay) has been honing its unique sound combining influences of Cumbia, Afro-Cuban, Rock, Merengue, Salsa and Reggae. The music is influenced by art, history and culture often focusing on legends and tales of the mystical. Fan favorites include El Chupacabra, an eerie tale of the legendary goat sucker, La Ruta Maya, a pounding tribute to the famed Mayan Route and Media Noche, an ode to the dream like hours between night and daybreak. The ever evolving sound is a natural progression brought forth by different backgrounds, experiences and influences. While adhering to the bands original goal, the sound has taken its own course. The sound..."El sonido" that El Tule brings to each performance naturally transcends all cultural and social backgrounds. Simple, El Tule is for those who love to dance, feel good and enjoy the positive expression of music.

Por los últimos seis años, El Tule ha venido perfilando su sonido que es una combinación de Cumbia, Latin Jazz, Afro Cubano, Rock, Merengue, Salsa y Raggae. La música ha sido influenciada por el arte, la historia, y la cultura; enfocando leyendas, tradiciones y lo místico. Entre los favoritos de los “fans” están: “El Chupacabra,” una espeluznante interpretación de un animal que le chupa sangre de las cabras o corderos. “La Ruta Maya” donde se otorga tributo al famoso camino de los Mayas, y Media Noche, una elegía a los sueños evocados entre las horas de la media noche y la aurora.
Los Sonidos musicales están constantemente en una progresión que nos transportan a recuerdos, experiencias e influencias; Siempre paralelo a la meta principal del grupo, la música adquiere su propia dimension y en forma natural trasciende los niveles culturales y sociales. Dicho simplemente , El Tule está para aquellos que les gusta el baile, sienten y disfrutan todo lo que es positivo en lo que se expresa con la música.
El disco "Volumen 1" se puede encontrar en Waterloo Records, Cheapo's, El Museo Bob Bullock, CD Fuse.com, CD Baby.com, Barnes and Noble y en I Tunes. Volumen II sera disponible Noviembre 14, 2009 en Austin, Tejas y por todo el mundo!
