QUITAPENAS, one word – all caps, four syllables – all claps, gives you a taste of their rhythmic contagion. This tropical Afro-Latin combo was born under the warm California sun in 2011. They borrow aesthetics from the radical 60s, 70s and 80s. Each song echoes a remix of history and invites one to engage in the liberating evenings of Angola, Peru, Colombia, Brazil and beyond. The name means “to remove worries.” Everybody has a "pena" and the mission of QUITAPENAS is simple: to make you dance and leave you without a worry.

He oversees the award winning Ceviche and Andina Peruvian Restaurants in London and has released a best-selling cookbook Ceviche: Peruvian Kitchen, which has been translated into eight languages. 



Sine Ra, concurrently Hilal Omar Al Jamal, is an electronic music aficionado, author, creator, loving husband, former peddler and hoodlum, polyglot, collector of curiosities, and wanderer, who currently lives in the Midwest by way of Los Angeles, California, Arcata, California, and São Paulo, Brazil. He is affiliated with the Los Angeles based record label Folktale Records. The name he has assumed, Sine Ra, recalls the musical influence of experimentalist and poet Sun Ra while representing the former's identification with the purity and inventiveness of analog music synthesis.
