MUSCARIA BIOGRAPHY

We are an alert of a culture that is alive, but divided by confusion "Activismo America".  

MUSCARIA is the word of hope and motivation for a better Latin America from the mouths of Hispanic youth. In a culture that is fighting to rediscover itself MUSCARIA'S debut album, COMBATIENDO APATIA, takes a stance against political corruption, delinquency, and starvation. This has become an everyday fight in the lives of Luis F. Cordovez (vocals/bass), Jason De La Vega (guitar), and Nico Cavallero (drums). Since 1994, MUSCARIA has come together through music to voice their disillusion with Ecuador's social and political standings. With song writing in form of revolutionary poems and a sound that mixes hard core, reggae, and hip-hop, COMBATIENDO APATIA is a refreshingly straight forward and to the point album.

Touring non-stop, MUSCARIA has created a very powerful and tight performance. From playing an extra song for their fans despite local authorities permission, playing numerous benefit shows to help victims of hurricane and floods, and educating people on maintaining their natural resources, MUSCARIA has built a large and loyal fan base. MUSCARIA has also proven to be an intense and dedicated live band through performances with A.N.I.M.A.L. (Argentinean band) and MASACRE (Colombian band), and at a featured concert at PULULAGUA (international music event).

With regular airplay in three of the major radio stations of Ecuador and many positive reviews, the press and media have proven to support MUSCARIA throughout their career. "The answer was immediate, (MUSCARIA) was mentioned to be one of the groups of the year," according to El Comercio (national newspaper). La Onda Metalica (national music magazine) describes them as "a
band of international projection; thanks to their musical qualities, live energy, and above all, the sincerity of their lyrics." MUSCARIA was also one of the few Ecuadorian bands interviewed on MTV Latino for their live performance at the PULULAGUA concert.

Currently, MVSCARLA is working on their new album due out this fall. The members of MUSCARIA have also taken on various independent projects. Luis has a two-hour underground radio show that showcases new talent. Jason also plays with is side project called LA CLICKA, which is a funk band. Nico is working with his hip-hop group and also records demos for low budget bands to help them get their music out. Undeniably, MUSCARIA stands alone keeping
their music and street credibility strong. MUSCARIA is the voice of change in a scared conformist society known as Latin America.
