At the show I mentioned earlier that I booked for the Trashettes, the
line up also included The Girlfriends (see previous issue), and four of
the nicest guys you may know as Bocanegra. Showcasing rock and roll
with strobe lights and stage theatrics, I always enjoy getting a little
dizzy in the front row. Here's what the lead singer and the bassist had to
say about their band:
Who is Bocanegra?
Meghan Trainor
1. Meghan Trainor, All About That Bass
2. Taylor Swift, Shake It Off
3. Sam Smith, Stay With Me
4. Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj,
Bang Bang
5. Iggy Azalea Featuring Rita Ora, Black
Widow
6. Nicki Minaj, Anaconda
7. MAGIC!, Rude
8. Ariana Grande Featuring Zedd, Break Free
9. Sia, Chandelier
10. Maroon 5, Maps
CB: Bocanegra is myself (Carlos Bocanegra) and a
revolving door of talented musicians who constantly
expand their artistic vision. Currently, in the US, they are
Dom Rubano (Drums), Quique Rodriguez-Pastor (Bass),
and Rene Roman (Guitar).
QRP: I'm also committed to an entirely different band (The
Tyler Nail Trio) so I only get to play with Bocanegra if and
when I'm available.
What's been the most rewarding thing
about being in the band?
CB: I've toured South America with Bocanegra for many
years now, so it's been amazing to come home and become
a part of a growing independent art scene.
QRP: Getting to play a style of music that I typically don't
play outside of this project. I very much enjoy getting on
stage and playing these songs with my band mates and
friends.
What are you most looking forward to for the
future of the band?
CB: I think Bocanegra offers a style that isn't common in
Winston-Salem, much less our state. With that said, we'll
continue to push the boundaries of what people think
"Latin Rock" is or how Latinos are viewed in general.
We've still got a lot of walls to break through.
QRP: I look forward to seeing Carlos's vision come to
fruition.
Last words?
CB: Every big band was a local band somewhere. Support
the scene!!!
