Guajiro

thu 8/23/2007

Bilingual punk rockers Guajiro (pronounced wah-hero) don't consider themselves a Latin Rock band, but a Miami band – much like Hermosa Beach, California's Pennywise and Boston, Massachusetts' Dropkick Murphys, who both rep their respective cities with pride. The Hialeah, Florida quartet is comprised of bassist Jorge Gonzales, vocalist-guitarist Willy Lopez, drummer Douglas MacKinnon and vocalist-guitarist David Santos. Regional pride aside, Guajiro's punk rock does have some Latin flair: they're mostly Cuban-American.

Guajiro's debut album, Material Subversivo, takes a cue from old school English and recent American punk, injecting melodic choruses with populist politics. While "Espanglish" bands aren't quite mainstream yet, Guajiro is making some important strides: they've played with Rancid and Flogging Molly, charted on CMJ, and played on the ubiquitous Warped Tour.

I first heard the band through RallyMTV, but I inmediately got hooked with the music and lyrics... this is the kind of punk rock the world needs to know: lots of energy, good vibe and self-expression... and of course, in "Espanglish".

Mucho apoyo desde Venezuela =D
y como se dice aki: pa'lante es pa'llá!

Nice to see Miami's resident rockers get some much deserved recognition! Love the Santa Fe video!

Keep the good vibes going!

I saw them when they opened for Flogging Molly and became a fan right away, bought the CD that same night. They got the crowd going and everyone singing along in Spanish (even if they didn't speak). I saw them at Warped Tour, even better than the last time! Good job guys, hope to see you soon!
