ABOUT

OvejaNegra formed in the Summer of 2018, several months after its four original members captured the attention of vocalist and lyricist, SKBROK, who previously worked with keyboardist and composer, Sefare. SKB began writing and music naturally followed, presenting the need for something else: more percussion, more brass. This was the beginning of new fusion of Afro and Caribbean rhythms. The band incorporates sounds from Reggae, Chicha, Calypso, Ska and Cumbia. Their unique contribution is an homage to psychedelic Soul, Funk, HipHop and Punk Rock. OvejaNegra’s rich Chicano sound lies in its rhythm section. Its members are predominantly Mexican American, and together, as a whole, the band renders a new voice on the Chicago music scene, a voice that captures the urban lyricism of Chicago’s style and essence that lends presence and testimony to the place they call home.
