ALUCARD 305
Over the last decade, the music scene in Miami has evolved with the ever changing face of rock music. During this time, many local bands have struggled to survive with most meeting a sad and unfortunate demise. Yet one musical group has managed not only to endure, but it has flourished unto the local music scene as a noteworthy representative of the contemporary sound of Miami. AlucarD was founded in 1998 on the premises that a genuine, fresh and unique sound portraying the everyday struggle of youth in Miami was not only necessary, but long overdue. Notwithstanding, the original members of AlucarD came together 7 years ago, fusing rock and hip-hop (to this point unheard of) within a Latin Community whose music was based on salsa, merengue and traditional Gangster Rap. But many struggling years would pass before the core members of AlucarD were to fine-tune and polish this fresh style and evolve into the present day band which you now hear and enjoy.
