Green
Blues Music Band
Merida, Mexico
Biography:
Green is a blues/rock band formed and based in Los Angeles, California. The idea is to make a combination of the good old blues and the new digital sounds of our era. This project talks about situations that humans have to go through in life.
With our debut album “Green”, we present a concept based in life itself, life situations with a hint of a spiritual awakening message. The project has a feel of chill vibes combined with tasteful blues guitar licks along groovy and sticky rhythms. The overall message from this album is trying to spread the word of being free, finding and accepting ourselves despite what other people say. Songs cover topics such as love/relationships based on some of the band members experiences with language that everyone can relate to.
The band members are Rafa Hadad (lead guitar/Vocals), Gabe Conover (Drums), Pedro Asfora (Bass/Backing Vocals) and Bobby Carpenter (rhythm guitar/backing vocals).
From tracks like “Slow Blues” and “Crawling” that delve into breaking through the noise of thoughts and fear in order for us to pursue our dreams and goals. To the first single “Time Machine” that expresses in a futuristic way the “moving on” process from within the eyes of someone stuck in the past, without being able to go forward because of a significant other. This album brings some bluesy grooves like “Albert” and the upbeat “Feels Like Rain” that talk about relationship situations.
The biggest influences that drive and shape the sound of the music are Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys and Jack White, among others.
Band Members:
Rafa Hadad
Born in Merida, Mexico in 1990. Started playing the guitar at the age of 12 years old. At the age of 14, his interest in making his own music started. His first recordings were in a very old analog BOSS audio console with 6 channels that his guitar teacher by the time had sold to him. "It was very difficult to use, but at the time it was the only thing that could help me reproduce my ideas" he states. Rafa joined his first official band “Black Gold” at the age of 18 in which he played the lead guitar. After “Black Gold” was over he began writing his own music and he is now the songwriter/co-producer of two studio albums "Green" and "Fat Bones".
Pedro Asfora
Born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Pedro plays professionally since the age of 13. Spent 2 two years doing focused gigging and recording with his band in his hometown, as well as participating in side projects when they presented themselves. He studied under the directions of the best teachers around in order to develop the needed skills for a desired career in freelance music performance. In 2018, finally came the time for him to move to Los Angeles, where he studies at Musicians Institute, plays in 3 bands, and does a bunch of sessions. Now in an artist-driven mindset, Pedro seeks to develop his identity to it’s full extent, armed with an arsenal of abilities that cover psychedelic rock, jazz, fusion, blues, and Brazilian Popular Music.
Manu Alvarez

Manuel started playing at the age of twelve, having been inspired by the works of instrumentalists such as Joe Satriani and Stevie Ray Vaughan. He knew then that he had to pursue a similar path as his inspiration so that one day, he too could inspire a future generation.
