Camilo y los Cruzers
12" 45 — Round Whirled Records
Camilo y los Cruzers is a project born from the mission to explore the rich intersections of Latin and Black music. Led by Grammy-nominated guitarist Camilo Landau, the project invites an all-star collective of musicians from distinct communities to collaborate in an open, improvisational setting. The name invokes cruzando fronteras — crossing borders — and cruising through historic moments of cultural mixing, from Chicano Soul to modern-day psychedelia.
Descargas Rockeadas is the debut vinyl release: a 12" 45 featuring three tracks from the Sala Sessions, a series recorded live in Camilo’s living room in Alameda, California. The concept is simple: invite friends over, cook some food, set up microphones in the sala, hit record, and go for it. Just musicians connecting in musical conversation.
The lineup is a dream rhythm section. Karl Perazzo, best known as Santana’s longtime percussionist, anchors the groove on congas. Darian Gray holds it down on drums while Jeremiah Haynes plays Farfisa organ and synth bass, filling out the harmonic landscape with vintage texture and psychedelic soul. Camilo drives the session on electric guitar, steering the improvisational arc from simmering tension into full-blown eruption.
The result is kinetic and unpredictable — the sound of Black and Latin musical traditions colliding in a living room over a home-cooked meal, each player bringing their own voice to a conversation with no predetermined outcome. No safety net, no second takes, just the moment.
