Band Description:
"An irresistible combination of Latin and Hip-Hop influences that I guarantee you haven’t heard anywhere else."
- Austin SoundCheck
"Los Bad Apples are going to be to Latin Hip Hop what Selena was to Tejano music."
- HighSpeed Magazine
Named 2008’s “South by Southwest buzz band” by the Austin Chronicle and “eclectic...dynamic…the band to watch” by SXSW 2009 panelist and Alien Music Services CEO, Danny Zook, Los Bad Apples fuses the sultry rhythms and vocal stylings of Samba, Cumbia, Reggaeton and Flamenco with irresistable dance beats and smooth Hip-Hop flavor. Their high-energy performances and unique sound earned them coveted spots opening for Grammy-winners Ludacris, Duffy, Ozomatli, Oscar D’Leon and Me’Shell Ndegeocello, and in February 2009 they headlined their Middle East Tour for the Troops which was sponsored by Armed Forces Entertainment and Best Buy.
This diverse group has appeared on various radio and television programs including NPR, FOX, Univision and ME Television, and their debut music video, “Don't Stop – Muevelo” ranked in the Top 5 Latin videos (next to Daddy Yankee) on Blastro.com for several consecutive weeks. It has since ranked in the Top 5 Hip-Hop and Top 5 Latin videos on Famecast.com.
“Los Bad Apples really has something cookin’ and a brewin’. Anita has a beautiful voice, plus I love that she sings in three languages…she could really give Brazilian Girls a run for their money. Chali 2na really digs Zeale’s flow and he never says stuff like that about other MC’s!” -- Three-time Grammy Award-winner, Asdru Sierra (Ozomatli)
Band members include polyglot singer/songwriter, Anita Benner, critically acclaimed MC Zeale who was a finalist in the World Rap Championships of 2007, as well as former members of Kumbia Kings, Menudo & Grupo Fantasma whose original works and productions have been licensed for use by MTV and various film & television programs.
