SANDRI TAPIA
What’s up my beautiful people!!

I’m Sandri Tapia (La India Meshica) I’ve been playing the guitar since I first saw a guitar, they say I was seven years old. I’ve been dancing since I learned to walk. I’ve been singing since the day I discovered my voice is the medicine that activates my essence.

I grew up listening to the influences of classic rock, heavy metal, blues, flamenco, gypsy, African and of course Latin American music, from indigenous to reggaeton.

So with so many rhythms I have decided to make a salad with everything I have learned.

The only thing I can say is that I will most likely make you dance.

WIREMU MCCARTHY

Wiremu McCarthy is a singer-songwriter whose art has also evolved into passions for acting and more recently, stand-up comedy.  Wiremu blends elements of soul, reggae, funk and folk to bring his own original sound and unique style through with guitar and vocals.
