bucho
iBucho!, has been working hard over the past five years. iBucho!'s music provides a fabulous collaboration of styles and textures. They create their original compositions with elements of rock, jazz fusion, hip-hop, pop, Afro-Cuban, and just straight up funk. The band's eclecticism and energetic live shows have made them a slew of die hard fans as well as press darlings. As a strong musical collective, the band has rocked crowds throughout Sacramento and the Bay Area, and the greater United States for the past five years.
Fans love iBucho! not only for its ability to create a beautiful musical experience as a collective, but also for each bandmember's passion for his particular craft. With Gerald's smooth vocals and play on the acoustic guitar, Josh dropping "phat soulafied basslines," Derek commanding percussion, Ben's tantalizing control of the keyboard and organ, and the unique trumpet trio made up of Anthony, Leon, and Justin, iBucho! is a myriad of artists who have mastered their personal talents as contributions to the greater whole.
