Since 2007 Rojos Calientes has been Summit County's most exciting, inventive and respected acoustic band, providing a unique mixture of original music.
Raul (Guitar, Vocals) came from Peru and spent 4 years in Montana, US where he gets familiar with new genres such as Country, Bluegrass and Jam music, looking for more musical challenges moved to Colorado where he mets Mike (Mandolin, vocals) playing at open mics and sessions nights at the local bars in Summit County. After playing at the South Park music festival they met Blizzard (Bass) and named the band "Rojos Calientes". In october 2008 a month before going into studio to record their first album, they met Angie (fiddle, vocals) at another open mic in Frisco, where the band is located and go ahead on crafting the album "CORAZON" throughout the whole winter. In 2009 they are joined by Francisco (pancho) adding some latin percussion to their sound.
The sound of the band draws what it's believed to be a new trend in music, which could be called LATINGRASS, making them one of the most exciting groups on the Colorado music circuit today
Influences range from Peruvian and south american folky music (Raul's side) to bluegrass, country americana, rock, Jam and more (the Gringo's side).

That's a great picture. I've already asked Rachel to paint my face up. No, 66 is an original, but that's awesome that you thought it was Django. Happy Holidays
