Stephen Hero & El tata y los taqueros

STEPHEN HERO makes raw, working class hip hop from Canada’s east coast. His style is influenced by alt-rap legends like Kool Keith and MF DOOM, with a strong penchant for the relaxed and joyous experimentation of groups like De La Soul and Beastie Boys, but with a contemporary, often dark feel. Hero takes the ruling class to task unapologetically as he builds his varied and powerful catalogue. El tata y los taqueros could be described as a melting pot of influences, with various members, guest appearances, songs and covers. The deeply international roots of this band can be traced by the various nationalities of its core members; Gabriel Ibarra, Chaly Benz, Teijiri Emore, and Daniel Salas. Individuals that came together to mix the influences of their countries going from the Philippines to Honduras, into a Latin fusion of hip hop, funk, and other rhythms that lets the versatility and musicality of el tata y los taqueros stand out.
