The B-Side Players are an integral part of a new movement in popular music. Winners of 10 San Diego Music Awards for best band, The B-Side Players honor the international cross-pollination that has always made music the universal language. They use any beat that catches their ear, regardless of geography or genre, to create a compelling, horn driven polyrhythmic groove. They continue exploring the multifaceted grooves of Latin America and the Caribbean, incorporating the sounds of Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico and Brazil with the funk, rock, jazz and hip-hop rhythms of their homeland, dropping bits of Cumbia, Salsa, gritty street Samba, Son Montuno, Jarocho, and Boogaloo into the mix. The players are known for igniting crowds with their fierce rhythms and uplifting message of unity and consciousness, meanwhile always keeping their focus on the political climate of the world and nation. The B-Side Players are a living and breathing cultural art experience for the mind, body and soul.
