The B-Side Players are a 9-piece band from San Diego, part of a new movement in popular music. A band honors 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, while dropping bits of cumbia, salsa, gritty street samba, Son Montuno, Jarocho and boogaloo into the mix.
