57 North Presents: Los Acousticos Bandidos

This week on 57° North Presents, we're delighted to feature Los Acousticos Bandidos! They appeared live on the show on Monday the 19th of June from 8-10pm, playing tracks of theirs, talking us through their careers and even treating us to a live set!
Los Acousticos Bandidos are Colin Black and Scott Cruickshank, two of Aberdeen's busiest musicians. Separately they play in every kind of band under the sun, from ska to hotclub, swing, funk, ceilidh, and jazz, but together their eclectic mix of styles blend into an exciting fusion of jazz, funky pop, and balladry played with zest on their two battered acoustic guitars. Perfectly at home in any venue (the stranger the better), they have played together all over Scotland for about the last 8 years and recorded their first CD in late 2013.
Los Acousticos Bandidos formed to cover a six-month gig residency in a Tapas restaurant, Colin and Scotty quickly realized that their shared love of Jazz, Latin, funk and pop played on acoustic guitars was something they needed to add to their roster of bands - and it's gone from strength to strength playing all over Scotland in every kind of venue imaginable.
