(January 3, 2011 – Los Angeles, CA) — New representatives of the hidden beauty and multi-dimensional spirit of Los Angeles today, “One Tribe Nation”,releases “It’s Time” a video inspired by their performance on the steps of City Hall during Occupy LA in solidarity of this worldwide movement. It is this song that may have become the unofficial anthem of this historic movement in Los Angeles.
The Afro-Latino funk rock band, led by guitarist Michael Sanders, took its thoughtful and provocative glimpse into the American soul and life of Angelenos to the next level as they performed a song during the now ubiquitous Occupy Wall Street movement on October 23rd, 2011 at the Los Angeles City Hall.Renowned video and film maker Leonardo Bondani – whose body of work includes MalditaVecindad, Tijuana No, Kid Frost, and El Vuh just to name a few – recorded a video of One Tribe Nation’s “It’s Time”.

Catch One Tribe Nation LIVE for a special performance at Skinny’s Lounge, 4923 Lankershim Blvd. North Hollywood, CA 91601 on Tuesday January 24, 2012 at 9:00pm.
“We really wanted to make music with substance that is relevant and inspirational to the listener,” says Quetzal Guerrero. The singer says that growing up as a multicultural/multilingual American has always helped him understand and connect with different demographics of people.
“In our new album I believe we do exactly that, through our wide range of rhythms, styles and lyrics, One Tribe Nation attempts to find a common ground with everyone and connect with them on a musical level,” says the vocalist.
The full-length video of “It’s Time” performance at Occupy LA captures the energy and spirit of that historic movement. The song is the first track from One Tribe Nation’s new self-titled album, “One Tribe Nation”, which is now completed and scheduled for release on March 1, 2012.
“I just think that people see that we are moving away from the values that built the strongest middle class the world has ever seen. People are standing up and simply saying NO, 1% of the population should not be allowed to control our system of government. From our point of view, the Occupy Movement is just a physical manifestation of those frustrations.” says Sanders.
“For us, it’s not about blue, red, left or right, or any other device that’s used to keep us fighting amongst ourselves. It’s about those who build and those who destroy, and I think the reality is that we all choose a side in that battle by virtue of the decisions we make in our own lives each and every day,” says the band-leader and guitarist.
Titled “It’s Time” the song talks about the struggles faced by society today in the midst of misinformation and injustice, as well as each person’s ability to heighten their awareness and make decisions that can truly change the situation. The inspiration for “It’s Time” came from many hours of discussion between One Tribe Nation members – Sanders, Quetzal Guerrero (vocals) David Filice (bass), and David Cowan (drums).
For this group, the “side” and decision is clear: they choose unity, a place where the whole world is one tribe nation.

"No, actually wrote the song for the motion," says Sander in an interview on the new song by the band and clarifies that "however, in a general sense, without knowing it, we were writing songs about the move before you even start. When Quetzal and I talked about what they would do the lyrics for this album, he suggested I write about what living in Los Angeles, and now the United States. The end result is a positive outlook, thoughtful and sometimes brutally honest about the country from the perspective of a brilliant young Latin artist is very wise for his age, "says Sander lyrical about the new singer of the band.
To Occupy Sander movement nationally, and his chapter Angeleno, is a legitimate and very important to support as artists and members of One Tribe Nation.
"I think people see that we are moving away from the values ??that built the strongest middle class the world has ever seen.

From our point of view, the movement Occupy is only a physical manifestation of those frustrations, "says Sanders.

su motivo principal es la difusión del video correspondiente al tema musical “It’s Time”, compuesto
por imágenes recogidas durante su presentación en los peldaños del Salón de la Ciudad mientras se
realizaba el Occupy L.A., un movimiento que, como lo mostramos ya en este reportaje exclusivo,
contó hasta el momento de su desalojo con varios aportes musicales de valor.
One Tribe Nation, que se completa con Michael Sanders en la guitarra, David Filice en el bajo, David
Cowan en la batería, Daniel de los Reyes y Demián Arriaga en las percusiones y Dave Schulz en los
teclados, practica un estilo que sus integrantes definen como funk rock afrolatino, e hizo acto de
presencia en el emplazamiento angelino de protesta el 23 de octubre pasado, con la compañía del
reconocido director Leonardo Bondani, quien ha hecho videos para Maldita Vecindad, Tijuana No!,
Kid Frost y El Vuh.
“Creo que la gente se está dando cuenta de que estamos alejándonos de los valores que edificaron a
la clase media más poderosa que el mundo jamás haya visto”, dice Sanders. “Hay muchos que se
están poniendo de pie para decir que el 1% de la población no debería ser el que controle nuestro
sistema de gobierno. Desde nuestro punto de vista, el Occupy es únicamente una manifestación
física de esas frustraciones”.
Si les gusta lo que escuchan y lo que ven en el video que se encuentra al final de este texto, tienen la
oportunidad de ver a One Tribe Nation en vivo este 24 de enero en el Skinny's Lounge, ubicado en
4923 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, CA 91601. El primer álbum del grupo se lanzará el 1ro de
marzo, y pueden visitar su página oficial aquí.

One Tribe Nation: ¿El canto de los indignados?
Atribuyen himno extraoficial del movimiento Occupy LA a banda afro-latina
Andrea Carrion | 1/19/2012, 12:31 p.m.
One Tribe Nation | Cortesía Para algunas personas el movimiento Occupy LA fue un intenso reclamo al sistema y quienes lo gobiernan. Para otros sólo fue una odiosa protesta masiva de tres meses que bloqueó calles por momentos y terminó quemando el cesped de la alcaldía. Para el grupo de música afro-latino-funk-rock One Tribe Nation, además de ser una causa justa, Occupy LA significó una excelente vitrina, la perfecta oportunidad para exponer su sonido y estilo, en especial una canción que hoy se rumorea como el himno del movimiento que durante 58 días se autosembró en el centro de la ciudad. El nombre del tema es “It’s Time”, una canción de cuatro minutos y medio que contiene frases tipo “Vamos a pelear, vamos a recuperar lo que nos robaron”, “Hay tanto que hacer, es difícil saber por dónde empezar” y “Nunca es tarde para hacer escuchar tu voz.
Quetzal Guerro, vocalista del grupo angelino, dijo que la esta canción no se escribió a raiz del movimiento Occupy LA sino que forma parte de su primer disco, el que One Tribe Nation viene trabajando hace tiempo y que planean lanzar al mercado en marzo.

Francisco Castro La banda tocando frente a la alcaldía de Los Angeles.
“Hace tres años que estamos escribiendo y produciendo el disco, tiempo en el que veníamos definiendo la visión de este grupo y la forma en que queríamos promovernos de manera más comercial, más pop, con un mensaje político, social y cultural”, explicó Guerrero.
Además de Quetzal, el grupo está compuesto por su líder, el canadiense Michael Sanders, el bajista italoestadounidense David Filice y el baterista estadounidense David Young Professor Cowan. Un día un amigo les
comentó que Occupy LA estaba buscando bandas que tocaran durante sus manifestaciones y cuyo mensaje coincidiera con la causa. No la pensaron dos veces. “Fue el contexto perfecto”, comentó Guerrero, “si hubiéramos lanzado el disco un año antes, no habría tenido el mismo impacto que tendrá ahora”. La invitación incluso les dio la oportunidad de grabar un video bajo la dirección de Leonardo Bondani y el 17 de noviembre del año pasado “It’s Time” fue lanzada vía You Tube y luego se esparció por las redes sociales. Guerrero reacciona al calificativo que ha recibido la canción como himno extra oficial del movimiento.
“Comenzaron a dejar comentarios que decían ‘Esto es exactamente lo que es el movimiento, todo está en esta canción’. Es un honor para nosotros y de lo más oportuno”, añadió el vocalista de 26 años de edad. Guerrero, nacido en Arizona de madre brasileña y padre indioamericano-mexicano, cuenta que creció en un ambiente de artistas y que luego se convirtió, no sólo en músico profesional, sino también en bailarín, experto en capoeira, violín y guitarra. “Tengo mi propia proyecto y el verano pasado lancé mi propio CD, “Coisa boa” (“Cosa buena”) pero es otro estilo, una mezcla de música americana soul con música brasilera, composiciones originales, más tropical”, dice. “Y cuando Michael [Sanders] me ‘secuestró’, lo vi como una oportunidad para ecribir y compartir un mensaje más político, social y así mostrar mi otro lado, el del activista”.
One Tribe Nation tendrá una prsentación en vivo el próximo 24 de enero a las 9 p.m. en Skinny's Lounge, 4923Lankershim Blvd. North Hollywood, CA.
