City of the Sun
The music of City of the Sun is essentially a genre of its own — experimental, yet accessible, filled with tension, yet still joyful. Theirs is a sound which you can neither pinpoint, nor stop listening. The NYC powerhouse group flipped the perception of instrumental music on its head, attracting a new generation of young people to the genre, many of whom had not previously listened to instrumental music.
At its core are founding members John Pita, lead guitarist and frontman, who was raised in Ecuador with all its influences, and percussionist/drummer Zach Para, a Seattle native who made his way in the jazz world and studied at the Boston Conservatory before connecting with John in NYC. Rounding out the quartet are bassist Matt Fasano and guitarist Marco Bolfelli.
