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.

I started writing music with friends in '94. Now my love for music has developed into a kind of therapy. I like to experiment with anything at hand including cheap 80's keyboards, pots, pans, drum machines, guitars, and basses. I hope to inspire everyone to follow their heart, despite adversity.
