ciudad / siyud´ad = (n.) city
tribu = (n.) tribe 1) a group of people united by race and customs under the same leader
Founded by a group of friends who grew up together on the same street, Ciudad Tribu brings a new sub-genre of ethnic rock to our ever evolving world of music.
Brothers Andrew and Yang Navarro grew up listening to different music genre - heavy metal and alternative. Until recently they got introduced to world music and developed much interest in playing and listening to the djembe. Joined by lead percussionist Albert Castro who originally played for a reggae band, and then the rest of their friends, the band Ciudad Tribu came about.
Seven out of ten members play different kinds of percussion instruments, bringing layer to layer of heart pumping drumbeats. With the eclectic sounds of indigenous instruments and heavy guitars combined, their music is a unique fusion of world, rock and reggae that is very unique and distinct. It brings together tribal rhythm and the modern sounds of the city.
