Santa Cruz Latin Collective
Co-founder and percussionist/timbales player Jimmy Palafox kicked off his first Latin music project right out of high school with the working title Sounds of Aztlán, a band and album concept celebrating his heritage and the post-Chicano aesthetic. The Santa Cruz Latin Collective has its roots deep in the Latin rock and Afro-Cuban dance music genre with simmering rhythm-forward salsa, mamba, and brown-eyed soul influences. Lead guitarist, vocalist, and co-founder Oscar Estrella is an originating member of Sapo, the legendary Latin rock band that came out of the 1970s Chicano music scene in the San Francisco Mission District.
