ORULAS CREW
Orulas Crew was founded by Franshesco Viran AKA Kekoski & renowned Latin Percussion Master, Javier Fredes, as a convergence of two worlds in search of a higher plateau of resonance for modern world music to emerge from Australia.
In this ambitious and highly anticipated project, Kekoski & Javier have set out to reconcile memories and visions of Latin America, with modern Australian realism through spirited and infectious music. Orulas Crew are out to cement themselves not only as Australia’s best Latin musical act, but also one that epitomises world class quality, by bringing to life what it means to be Latin Australian, and to share with the rest of the world the diversity of the Australian music industry.
Orulas’ songs are based on the musicians’ experiences as migrants growing up in Australia, within the larger than life backdrop of their Latin American heritage. As Kekoski blends these two unique experiences together, his musical and lyrical compositions are an honest representation of one’s transformation from the Latin American to the Latin Australian social identity.
In addition to the originality of their compositions, a large part of Orulas’ musical portfolio has been co-worked and developed with fellow musician/composer Oscar Poncel – a solid partnership formed during the years of the highly acclaimed and successful, San Lazaro. This partnership has now been further enhanced by the solid commitment and arrival of fresh creative blood in the form of, bassist and vocalist, Sergio Fredes and instrumentalist & MC, Luis Poblete of Labjacd fame.
With the added creative foresight and expertise of legendary Jazz saxophonist, Ian Chaplin; electric guitarist, Nash Lee; drummer, Jethro Negron; trumpeter, Paddy McMullin; trombonist, Percy James, and percussionist Sebastian Orellana, Orulas’ outstanding line up is complete. With some of the country’s best Latin jazz musicians on board, Orulas Crew is sure to propel the Latin sound to unprecedented limits and drive Orulas Crew to the forefront of the industry!
In January 2011, Orulas Crew will begin recording their debut album ‘Black Wings’, which will be produced by Adam Rhodes (The Cat Empire) at Sing Sing Studios.
