Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The group Criollo, all from hispanic roots, mix their culture, experiences and beliefs to communicate messages of joy and pain to the world through their music of spanish language. Comprised of four members, their trully original style shines, creating a fusion between traditional latin rhythm and actual Hip Hop, reggae and R&B grooves. These extremely talented artists have further perfected their craft in other areas of the game, such as producing/directing music videos, engineering their own songs in the studio, even musically and artistically directing albums for other artists. The four members include : Salvador " Sol " Valdez-rap artist/producer/music video director; Jose " Chiro " Mata-rap artist/producer/writer; Alexis " El Gordo " Grullon-rap artist/musical producer artist and Gilbert " G-Cap " Capellan singer/guitarist/composer. After having worked with artists and producers from 3 different continents (America, Africa and Europe), opened up for one of the biggest acts of Spanish rap (Tego Calderon), Criollo is preparing their music with special seasonings that can trully revolutionize Spanish Urban music across the globe.
