Influences

Winners of the best Rock En Espanol band in 1999 by Jam Magazine.... Nominated as One of the best Rock En Espanol bands in Orlando in 1999 by Orlando weekly.... Opening for concerts to the likes of the Watcha Tour with bands like Cafe Tacuva, Molotov, Chris Perez and countless others.... And one of the bands most notoriously known in Orlando for being the "original bad boys of Spanish Noise" If you didn't know them before, you will know them... now.... RAZA INDIA After years of soul searching, experimental rhythms, and sleepless nights in places only the underground musicians, rave, experimental, trance and kayos style djs roamed. Raza India once again takes charge fully loaded with new concepts, styles and music that will blow your mind. Recording in some of the most unussual places like empty fields,parking lots, abandoned train carts, salvage yards and the back of abbandoned busses,and other places that we cannot simply mention, Raza India took it as a challange to come out with new Ideas not only musically, but production wise as well and to live out an adventure all of its own..... Promising to be one of the local comebacks to change the scene, Raza India has sat back long enough, waiting... for the right moment to resurrect with not only the same sound, but coming out louder, meaner and more electronic than ever before..... Raza India's new project "Projeccion'e Astral" Is not only the reflection of the experiences and mind trips of their members, but also a statement to a revolution that has been stale and dormant in the Rock en Espanol Genre in Orlando for the last few years.... This comeback once again will reinstate "raza India" name to be an original, individual and uthentic band. And The original "Raza" which helped mark the stepping stones to the original rock en espanol movement in orlando is once again coming back .... Attached are some samples and the artwork of what you will be hearing very soon.... we decided just to release the music cuts without vocal parts so you can fully enjoy the experience of what the music is this time around, but be ready for more when you get your hands on the release.... To all of our friends, thanks for the support, and for the rest that didn't believe? time around... More to come.... standby..... razaindia.8m [/turazaindia] .......... [/2guiro] ...../Guitar4Glory
