"Their latest release, Canta Gallo, is nothing short of brilliant. The influences that make El Haru Kuroi are not hard to pinpoint, yet put together they way they do makes for a sound that is all their own" (Gomez Comes Alive). - AMOEBLOG
“Combining the snarling urgency of post-punk with the sensuality of bossa-nova, they’ve come upon something very different and exciting to listen to” (M. Cotto, KCRW). - KCRW Music Blog

Bio
El Haru Kuroi, an East Los Angeles trio rooted in Mexican, South American and African melodies and rhythms has initiated a fierce style and sound. The rhythm section of Drummer/Percussionist Dominique Rodriguez and Upright Bassist Michael Ibarrra deliver with relentless intensity and swagger, while the voice and guitar of Eddika Organista enfold the music with labyrinthine grace and beauty.
“Combining the snarling urgency of post-punk with the sensuality of bossa-nova, they’ve come upon something very different and exciting to listen to” (M. Cotto, KCRW).
El-Haru Kuroi performs throughout the Los Angeles area in several community/cultural festivals, art galleries and venues in the LA area. They have performed at First Fridays Natural History Museum, The Levitt Pavillion MacArther Park, Eagle Rock Music Festival and The Mayan Theater, opening up for Gogol Bordello. They have also ventured on a South West tour toward New Orleans spreading their sound in other parts of America.
Their music is also featured in a few independent films and such as the documentary, "Homeboy," one of the first of its kind, to explore homosexuality amongst the Mexican American cholo community, in the 80's and 90's.
El Haru Kuroi has two full-length albums and one acoustic EP. The release of the newest album "192192192," is the latest sound of El-Haru Kuroi as they continue to evolve as people and musicians, bringing a sound of their own: “ East Los Angeles Nueva Tropicalia.” Currently, El-Haru Kuroi is working on singles to be released periodically during the process.
