Choca Blues Delivers Masterful Debut Album ‘The Wind’
Choca Blues, a band born amidst the picturesque backdrop of San Marcos La Laguna, brings together an eclectic mix of musicians whose varied experiences and nationalities are mirrored in their music. The band members, hailing from Guatemala, the United States, and the Netherlands, have created a sound that is both unique and universally resonant, breaking free from conventional genre boundaries.
‘The Wind’ opens with its vibrant title track, setting the tone for a musical journey that traverses through various styles and moods. From the hauntingly beautiful ballad ‘Old Man’, with its country-inspired undertones, to the powerful closing anthem ‘Kabuki Dance’, Choca Blues delivers a masterful collection of songs that defy easy categorization. The album is a testament to the band’s ability to merge different musical worlds into a cohesive and compelling whole.
At the heart of Choca Blues is lead singer Delta Dina, whose powerful vocals anchor the album’s diverse soundscapes. Her voice, a force of nature in itself, navigates through the album’s eclectic mix of blues, rock, and country with effortless grace. Delta Dina’s vocal prowess is complemented by the skillful guitar work of Carlos Funk, whose mastery of the ‘National Resonator Style O’ guitar adds a distinctive edge to the band’s sound.
Supporting this dynamic duo is a formidable lineup of musicians: Laura Charnaud, known as ‘The Law’ on bass, Whitney Petty on drums and mandolin, and Zach Bluestown on harmonica. Each member brings a unique flavor to the band, contributing to the album’s rich and varied sonic landscape.
Choca Blues’ debut album is not just a collection of songs; it’s a musical voyage that reflects the band’s journey across continents and cultures. ‘The Wind’ invites listeners to experience the magic of a band that is redefining what it means to be a blues band in the modern era.
As they prepare for the release of a second album already on the horizon, Choca Blues continues to invite fans to join them on their musical adventure—a journey where tradition meets innovation and where the boundaries of genre are beautifully blurred.

Kingdom Kome drops new videos for Arepa Y Manteca LP
Miami, FL Lyricist & Veteran MC Kingdom Kome goes to Colombia to fill his sweet tooth in a new double video and single(s) drop for “Mantecon” and “Arepa Mantecon.” The video (was filmed by Franco Imagemaker and Edited by David Sakolsky of Gusto Gold Productions)was shot on location in Medellin, which is also the home turf of producer The Equation Beats.
This is the first drop from the forthcoming full-length collaboration between the two entitled Arepa Y Manteca. Named for a traditional Colombian delicacy, according to Argentinian born Kingdom Kome “we decided to keep the project real paisa, which means countryman. This includes most of the album collaborators Colombian Raw, AjaxLo & CTraffik.”
Other album guests will include Che Uno, Sunez Allah and ParaNoize and the result is ominous instrumentals and grimy beats clashing with disrespectful lyrics in two languages.
Watch the official video for “Mantecon/Arepa Mantecon” here:
The genesis of this album grew out of a track that The Equation Beats produced for the duo project of Kingdom Kome & Che Uno known as Los Chicos Criollos featuring Crimeapple.
Watch official video for “Burundanga” ft. Crimeapple: https://youtu.be/AnB6RnMJ4Zk?si=FJ4Bk67rqR3CAzK6
Based on the strength of that song, Kingdom Kome and The Equation Beats kept it moving and lo and behold Arepa Y Manteca is on the way! In addition to the recent full-length drop D10S Sucio of Los Chicos Criollos, Kingdom Kome is also promoting Dirty Linens, a fully collaborative project with Brockton, MA’s G Fam Black.
