The band — which consists of members Emi Brito Anguiano and Mikey and Angel Brito — is a sibling trio with dexterity and heart.
Just listen to their music, which includes a self-titled EP and multiple singles. Formed after years of performances on the suburban Elgin event scene , the group is eager to establish themselves not as a “family act,” but as an act that just happens to be family.
Armed with an abundance of skill, the trio branched out, with their father, to perform at church services and local events held by friends, family and community members, focusing on, as Mikey said, “all the classic songs you hear at any Mexican party.”But stepping out of the cover group circuit was the brainchild of the baby of the group, Angel, who envisioned a grander future for his siblings.began to sprout.
Now established as a second family act, Emi, 29, takes on lead vocals and guitar while Mikey, 20, is on bass and Angel, 19, is on drums. “I think for us, music has also always been a form of expression,” she added. “Because in our culture, it’s always hard to open up and talk about things that we go through. So music, like almost therapeutically, helped us a lot with being able to express ourselves and have a form of letting out whatever is that we’re feeling.”
