A Look To The West
"It is nearly impossible to describe the music with precision, mixing percussion, cello, organ and guitar to carefully crafted stories. Chapa's sound is reminiscent of the experimental Vinyl's of the 70's, such as Silver Mt. Zion, with his aerial quotations that are falsely minimalist."

Chapa... A Los Angeles-based musical collective centered around the songs, stories, and vision of Lou Lewis. This project brings together a diverse group of musicians from around the country. The end result is a beautifully blended mixture of classical instrumentation, modern grooves, and timeless stories. A sound best described as Experimental Folk.
The band consists of 5 individuals that play a multitude of instruments, such as, cello, oboe, english horn, pots and pans, vibes, bass clarinet, flutes, saxes, piano, talking drum, glasses, suling, etc…
"Chapa delivers us a Music very well put together and completely Zen."

Band History:
Chapa… A project that has been in the making for several years. A sound that has been in the making for even longer. The project was formed by Russ Chapa, aka Lou Lewis, and Deacon, in late 2003, and existed mainly a 2 piece throughout the first 3 years, with the occasional player joining in. During this time, the group released their first album, A Buyer's Ride. In early 2006, the boys grew by 2, with Emil Abramyan, aka Dagger, and Adam Zygmunt. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Party Paul Pate joined the fray with much love and respect. The band has recently completed work on a 4-song EP, Believing, and have begun work on the new album, A Look To The West.
