Directly from Spain, and perfectly blended with the greatest musicians in the area we have reached a unique sound, offering you a really original and danceable show, full of energy and good vibrations.
Founded by Alberto Gutiérrez (vocals and guitar) & Javier Jiménez (lead guitar and vocals).
Luis Jiménez (cajón), Joe Nemzer (bass), Vincent De Jesus (Congas) and Jacob Savage (trumpet) complete the group.
Landing in San Francisco from different parts of the world, various characters got together for different motives and goals at the end of 2008 and became Makrú, a musical tool to express their points of view, ideals and support the causes they believe in, chasing equality and unifying people along the way while doing what they love.
With an acoustic flavor that fusion Rumba Flamenca, Ska, Reggae, Cumbia, and other global beats, lyrics in Spanish and English that bring reality, fiction, hope and joy Makrú sounds like smashing the earth and playing it on a record player.
Makrú has played:
The Great American Music Hall, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Elbo Room, The New Parish, among many other venues in the Bay Area, as well as Los Angeles, San Diego, Oregon, Mexico, Spain, and Perú.
Makrú has been part of benefits for affected workers of Chevron, Workers Rights, Cesar Chavez Day, Elimination of Violence towards Women and Girls, Interamerican Association for Environmental Defense (AIDA), Moms Against Poverty and other events fighting sexual and racial discrimination.
