Fruta Brutal is a bilingual indie latin rock band hailing from Denver, Colorado. Martín Better Longo, born in Ecuador and raised in the U.S., is the creative force behind the band. Martín's extensive travels through Central and South America, where he's gained exposure to Brazilian Tropicália and Argentinian Rock and Hip Hop music, as well as his experience as a latino immigrant in the U.S., are the foundation for Fruta Brutal's repertoire and its purpose of promoting cultural diversity. Fruta Brutal performs live as a quintet, quartet or trio, with diverse band members: Zoe Moff, Ben Weirich, Talib Grant, Nico Jimenez, and Martín Better Longo.
