Tijuana Cartel fuse deep electronic grooves with flamenco guitar, Middle-Eastern motifs and punchy trumpet lines to create a sound that’s unmistakably their own. The project began on Australia’s Gold Coast with guitarist Paul George and producer/keyboardist Carey O’Sullivan; it has since evolved into a powerhouse live outfit featuring  percussionist Sheila Finke and a rotating roster of trumpet virtuosos such as Tristan Rogers.

Their shows are equal parts club workout and global street party—layered soundscapes, heavy bass and kinetic percussion that turn curiosity into catharsis. From Splendour in the Grass, WOMAD and Woodford to Earth Frequency, Chi Wow Wah Town and beyond, the band have carved out their own corner of the Australian festival circuit, while tours through Europe and the USA have won them an ever-growing international following.

Tijuana Cartel have established their reputation as one of the most fearsome live bands in the country. — Sydney Morning Herald

… like a trip to the moon. Watching them perform is a whole-body experience that transports you. Paul’s skill on the guitar is unparalleled and time seems to slow as you watch him create art through his instrument. — Katelyn Rew, The Au Review

Wanna know how good this song is? When I played it on House Party SIA tweeted me wanting to know what it was?! Crazy! And well deserved. —Nina Las Vegas (Triple J Unearthed)
