In 2024, VRL Muzic recording artist Rhythm Tribe, made up of a multi generational family with over 100 years of a musical legacy, has now defined Neo Soul - Latin Fusion, which is a style of music that they have developed. Beginning with their first 3 song EP. The first song “You’ll Be There / Estaras Alli,” which is a fusion of Puerto Rican Aguinaldo, Martillo, Bomba, and Neo Soul, is now competing for “Song of the Year” and “Best Tropical Song” in the 2025 Latin Grammy’s. The second song "Holding Onto The Night" is now on radio staions nationally and along with the third song, "One Day At A Time" are both competting in the next Grammy competition.
The vocalist Brisa Guzman-Sanchez takes both Spanish and English lyrics creating something emotional and heart throbbing. “You’ll Be There / Estaras Alli” encapsulates that unexpected last shared moment with a loved one. Holding Onto The night is about a lost love and "One Day At A Time: reflects on an toxic relationship. Their new sound combines the unique guitar artistry of Thomas and Mason Guzman-Sanchez, held together with the insatiable rhythms of Esau Garcia with the baas mastery of Karthik Suresh on both Upright and Electric Bass, to make a powerful musical quintet.
