ABOUT

Collectively aesthetic! MEXICO68, is a (11) piece afrobeat band based out of Los Angeles' Eastside, California and is heavily influenced by the polyrhythmic sounds of Nigerian Recording Artist, Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Africa 70. Dominating the underground airwaves far and wide, MEXICO68 juxtaposes chicano funk with the body-moving and elucidating vibes of Fela.
?Afrobeat will be one of the musics of the future? -Miles Davis
