“This ain't your uncle's Putumayo, folks. Rana Santacruz creates a definitively modern version of global music, combining traditional Latin instrumentation with Appalachian and Irish musical traditions. The result, whether you call it "Mexican bluegrass" or "Irish mariachi," is a rollicking good time and undeniably original.”
Leah Taylor, Flavorpill
Rana Santacruz, a Mexican musician steeped in the Brooklyn music scene, creates music dubbed "Mexican Bluegrass" or "Irish Mariachi" with a dose of rock and alternative. His sound starts in Ireland, runs through Appalachia, swings through New Orleans, and careens across most of Mexico. The acoustic instrumentation includes Cajon, upright bass, accordion, guitar, banjo, jarana, violin and trumpet.
