Cambio De Piel

The Cambio De Piel (CDP) project was born in the summer of 1997 when the two Camacho brothers Alonso(guitar) and Jair(bass) left their previous Rock en Español covers band and joined up with Rene Ramos(guitar). In their search for a drummer they found Arturo Barrera(singer). Arturo did a great job at drumming but in his audition, he mentioned that he could also sing. Arturo sang one song and that was all it took for them to realize that they had stumble on to what they thought would be the most difficult part of completing the band. After additional auditions, Jesus "Chucho" Ceballos(drums) was added to completing their puzzle.

Naming the band was not an easy thing to do, but once the name Cambio De Piel(DCP) was added to the list, it became obvious that the name fit the band. Cambio de Piel(CDP) translates to "Change of skin", but to the members it meant many things including closing some chapters in there lives, and making some positive changes to begin a brand new and exciting chapter which is now to them this great band.

As CDP began to play, it was apparent that this band had something great that has been capturing their audience since the first time they set foot on stage. The band is a pioneer of the "Latin Alternative" movement in Sacramento California. In its beginning, the band played covers of famous ""Latin Alternative" bands in combination with their own original compositions. As time went by, their own music was requested more and more by the audience. It was at that point that the band decided to play only original material and it was this decision that has allowed the band to establish a name in Northern California. Since then the band has been able to share the stage with some of the famous "Latin Alternative" bands that they once played the music of.

CDP has been able to capture the attention of every person that has heard them especially in a live setting. This band is so dynamic that they were able to capture the attention of one of the biggest supporters of music today. Anheuser Busch-Budweiser has added CDP to the Budweiser True Music Live Project(BTML). They have picked this band to be the Latino Rock Band representing Budweiser's support to the Latin Alternative music industry.
The music of CDP is a combination of many different influences. The sound could be classified as a mix of funk, rock, reggae and pop/rock, but still maintaining the essence of classic Rock N' Roll. The lyrics are stories and emotions people can easily relate to and they will keep you singing the songs over and over..
