The sound of NOSOTROS is original. This accomplished Latin ensemble specializes in Afro-Cuban rhythms, Flamenco Rumbas, Latin Jazz, Bossa Novas, and traditional folk songs from Mexico. With the flowing sound of flamenco guitars, the drive of Latin percussion, and exotic sound of Spanish lyric, the sound is truly theirs.

NOSOTROS performs for a large fan-base throughout the Southwest. They have shared the stage with a variety of world-renowned artists such as Etta James, Lisa Loeb, Dave Mason, and the Gipsy Kings.

NOSOTROS features Felipe Ruibal (vocals), Shane Derk (guitar), Randy Sanchez (guitar, tres), Justin McLauchlin (bass), and Dennis Jasso (drums, cajon).
