Psychedelic Afro-Latin Rock (with a social conscious)

    A psychedelic Afro-Latin rock music project, Ojos Feos consists mostly of musicians who have lived in developing countries. Their original  music fuses rock and roll and jazz improvisation with  rhythmic elements based on samba, reggaeton, cumbia, cha cha cha, reggae, Cuban son and African highlife.

   Band leader and music director, Robbie Cree is a native of north-central Montana and the surrounding reservation lands. Witnessing the plight of Native Americans in his hometown, along with his experiences working as a medical doctor on charitable international medical missions, raised his awareness of social justice and human rights, which serves as the foundation of much of music's lyrical content  Lead guitarists Kameron Masullo and  Dashel Ruiz Perez, forge electrical and improvisational elements that combine African and Latin  rhythms with American music styles. Percussionist Eric Johnston's exposure to Caribbean rhythms, while residing in the Dominican Rebublic, adds authenticity to the music and bassist Chris Hale adds creative and unique jazz and rock grooves. Electric violinist Jeff Sulllivan defines Ojos Feos signature sound with a variety of effects from his pedal board and Cuban ex-pats, Ramón Brizuela and Geisy Almanza add saxophone/flute and back up vocals, respectively.

   Ojos Feos' 2018 release, Di Bodi Fayn, won NW music award for Best World Music album, which was followed up by their 2019 release, La Situación.  The band is currently working on their 3rd all-original album, El Saludo de Los Tacaños, to be released in late 2021.
