Promotional video for Arepaz Immigrante Orchestra (AIO) and it's greatest hits release. A collection of songs spanning back to 2000 to now, even before the birth of the Arepaz Records (an official Beta Boedga Coalition label) in 2005. Song heard are intro from Deviants: Latinidad, Brazilian vibes from Climber's: Cafe con Piernas, Ecuadorean funk from Epstein: Sin Pueblo, Prefuse 73's and V8 scrambled head nod and Epsteins Punal Outro... The Orchestra is a loose band of musicians that represent and capture the classic Arepaz instrumental sound. Members include Roberto Lange also known as Epstein and his now disbanded project called Boom & Birds. Roberto is a second generation Ecuadorean with many of his family still living in Guayaquil. After living in Miami and Atlanta, he now resides in Crown Height, Brooklyn. His music combines his skill of a traditional producer which involves drum machine, computer and samplers to his skill with a guitar and keyboards. He's performed at Sonar 2004 in Barcelona and toured throughout Europe and Japan since. Another member is Deviant. Deviant son of Bahamian and Jamaican parents was brought up in Miami. Deviant's musical taste ranges from broken beat and hip hop to funk and rock. His talent as a musician ranges from playing the rhodes, saxaphone and flute to programming beats on a computer. Devaint is currently traveling Latin America, where he relocate to Cuzco, Peru. Last is Manuvers and Climber who are all of Chilean descent. These artists use more traditional methods of beat making, sampling from vinyl. Climber is a 2 man crew of producers with members whose travel has expanded from Tokyo to Buenos Aires and everywhere in between, which explains their extensive vinyl collection. Manuvers, who is also a DJ, has performed as well at Sonar 2004 as well as at many major music festivals in Santiago, the Chilean capitol. Manuvers is also known for his role as part of the Miami based label Counterflow recordings. And last but not least we include an old gem and bonus from our past, a track long out of print on wax. Prefuse 73 and V8's collaboration song which released in 2000 on our Rice and Beans, back when no one even know who Mr. Herren was. The entire collective is directed by the label owner and graphic designer, La Mano Fria who has worked for over 10 years to bring forth a message through art and music. This is the first wave of hits brought to you by the collective, expect many more as we have members worldwide! The message of Arepaz Immigrante Orchestra is simple. Real roots music and immigrant pride because the world has no real borders, only those created by those who control the masses. AIO reminds you, the world is yours!
