   About Adrian Quesada



---------------------------------------------------------

I play guitar in Grupo Fantasma.

I play guitar in Grupo Fantasma's latin funk little brother Brownout.

I sometimes play guitar with Prince.

I collaborate with Martin Perna of Antibalas as Ocote Soul Sounds/Adrian Quesada.

I composed the score/soundtrack to the award winning documentary by filmmaker Marcy Garriott about Texas bboys.

I make beats for Bavu Blakes and others.

My man Chicken George made a 20 minute sampler mix of my beats that you can download.

I collaborate with Dallas' Hydroponic Sound System often.
