RHYTHM TRIBE A Neo Soul Latin Fusion Band Brisa Guzman-Sanchez, Mason Guzman-Sanchez, Thomas Guzman-Sanchez, Karthik Suresh, Esau Garcia
RHYTHM TRIBE is a distinctive and multi-generational American band known for pioneering their original sound, which they have defined as Neo Soul – Latin Fusion, or sometimes refer to as “Acid Latin.” The core of the group is the multi-generational family of Thomas Guzman-Sanchez (founder, vocals, guitar, bass), his son Mason Guzman-Sanchez (vocals, guitar), and his daughter Brisa Guzman-Sanchez (lead vocals), whose R&B stylized delivery blends Spanish and English lyrics with emotional depth, along with the rhythmic mastery of close friends Esau Garcia (hybrid drums/percussion) and Karthik Suresh (upright and electric bass). This quintet builds on a musical legacy spanning over a century in the Guzman-Sanchez family, creating a raw, innovative sound that fuses the aggressive rhythms of Afro-Cuban beats and Puerto Rican Bomba and Aguinaldo with the sophisticated harmonies of Neo Soul, Pop, and Rock, a fusion that has earned them international acclaim and Latin Grammy consideration for songs like “You’ll Be There / Estaras Alli.”
