UrquidesUrquides began in 2014 as a solo project for singer/guitarist Ricardo Osuna to explore the relationship between the cultures of his native Mexico and current home in the American Northwest. In a matter of months, Urquides grew to a six-person ensemble, drawing on the talent, influences and styles of a diverse group of collaborators. Urquides explores the complexities of culture and identity through songs in English and Spanish, inspired by a variety of styles. Urquides is influenced by traditional Latin American music, indie rock, post rock, and jazz. The band’s sound is danceable yet melancholy; incorporating acoustic and electronic drums, dreamy synthesizer, syncopated guitar and vocal harmony to create an intricately layered sound. Urquides is a project of the Boise-based Green Zoo Arts Collective. |
