ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Founding members Aya Safiya, Cecilia Cassandra Peña-Govea, Miguel Leon, and Tano Brock grew up together at a world music camp in California. In 2014, they formed the band Taraf de Locos, a name that fits perfectly as it is the meeting point between the group’s most predominant genres. “Taraf,” meaning “band” in Romanian, represents the Balkan styles of music, while “locos,” meaning “crazies” in Spanish, represents the Latin styles of music.

During the recording of their debut album, Taraf de Locos recruited bassist Mireya León to join, and following their album release show at Red Poppy Art House, the band embarked on a U.S. tour. Once the tour was finished, the group took a hiatus while the five members individually traveled and went on to follow personal goals. Taraf de Locos currently reunites once in a while for special occasions.
