Carlos Mena aka Casamena is an artist, producer and dj from San Leandro, California. He writes poems, has made a hiphop album, produced and performed with many musicians and djed for 20 years. Last year he signed to Yoruba Records by Osunlade with whom they share similar taste in music. Together they founded Ocha Records to give ‘casa’ to hip-hop, soul, jazz and funk releases and projects.
The first is the “Afro Cuban Bata (Hiphop-House)” project by Michael Spiro and Carlos assembling producers and artists like Djinji Brown, Mark de Clive Lowe, Spinna, Osunlade, Vinia Mojica, Wale Oyejide, Nomumbah and Latin Grammy winner, Lazaro Galarraga. Carlos’ many remixes are also in the pipeline for DeeperSoul, Grooveland, Yoruba, and Ocha Records. His sound got that deep latin soul touch i really like and this Afro-Cuban project looks pure niceness too…
