April 2010 Featured Musicians, The Ameros

The Ameros are a rock, reggae, hip-hop, and funk powerhouse that is saying things that no one else is saying. Sharing a bass player and drummer with Taina Asili y la banda rebelde, they are battle hardened musicians who are at the front lines of message music. No matter who is telling the lies, the Ameros are here and steeped in the truth. Prepare to be awakened to a new paradigm via lyrics, harmonies, and blazing guitar solos. They have shared the stage with Vanilla Ice, Naughty By Nature, Bell X-1, and Moby. Shortly after passage of the patriot act, the band (then Cultural Relativity) wrote and recorded the song “Name Your Price for Freedom,” which started their long journey of intellectual and musical discovery.

The very night that they posted the recordings of the original demo to myspace, they were contacted by a Columbus DJ from Leaf Pile Radio and told that the station would love to start spinning the tune! On that DJ’s page just happened to be the movie, “Loose Change.” After experiencing the jaw dropping realization of the world we really live in, the anger mixed with clarity, and the Ameros began engaging truth groups across the nation. The band began volunteering their music to the rising tide of youtube video directors. One such person, was Sean Muniz from the War on Apathy in Albany, NY.

At the Boston Tea Party for 9/11 Truth, Jesse Calhoun and Sean met with, what for many was the birth of an expansive grassroots movement. After a few years, Jesse and Kawari would move from Ohio to meet up with Kiki Vassilakis and Sean Muniz to form the group now known as the Ameros.

Since then, the Ameros have played Cabinfest, Truthstock, and Larkfest. They have been interviewed on 104.9 FM the Edge, 99.7 out of the Berkshires, Revolution Radio Live, and Liberty Radio. Their new album will include the songs “Terminator Seeds” and “H1N1″,which have added a harder-rap-metal feel to the ever evolving sound of the Ameros.
