Fruta Brutal

Born in Ecuador and raised in the United States, Martín Better Longo channels the tension and beauty of a mixed cultural identity through his project, Fruta Brutal. Weaving together psych rock, indie-pop, and Latin rhythms, his music serves as both a personal exploration and, with luck, can become a bridge across borders. From the bustling music scenes of Denver and New Orleans to Buenos Aires and other Central & South American cities, Martín experimented with various musical styles to eventually arrive at Fruta Brutal's eclectic sound—a dynamic force within Rock Alternativo and Indie Pop. Inspired by legends like Caetano Veloso and Fito Paez, as well as Måneskin, Tame Impala, and St. Vincent, Fruta Brutal delivers a bold and versatile repertoire that speaks to those who navigate multiple cultural identities.
