Biography

Based in Asbury Park, NJ, deSoL is a Latin rock outfit that has favored a bilingual approach. DeSoL (whose name means "of the sun" in Spanish) has never been a rock en español outfit in the strict sense; while rock en español favorites like Caifanes, los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Maná, and Shakira have done most or all of their writing in Spanish, deSoL has -- much like Santana and el Chicano in their heyday -- provided more English lyrics than Spanish lyrics. Nonetheless, the Latin influences in deSoL's work have been quite strong; they haven't hesitated to combine rock with Latin forms like Afro-Cuban salsa and Colombian cumbia, and they have been affected by soul and funk as well. A variety of artists -- both Latin and non-Latin -- have influenced deSoL, and they range from Santana, Malo, el Chicano, Azteca, and salsa star Rubén Blades to the Rolling Stones, John Lennon, and Stevie Wonder.
