Death is a Business:

From  America to Mexico to Peru travels the nomadic band Death Is A Business.  It’s hard to call our group a singular band since the lineup frequently  changes. It can’t be helped however, as we experiment with genres from  around the world.

Death  Is A Business was created in 2013 in a New York City college dorm room.  Since then, it has traveled throughout the US and Latin America. The  group’s sound incorporates musicians and instruments from around the  world like the Afro-Peruvian cajon and the Andean flute.

We  focus on humans' relationship to the natural world, for subsistence and  spiritual practice. We collaborate to tell stories inspired by and for  the people. The artistic process involves relationship-building, deep  listening (to those alive and dead), dream-making, and engaging in  ritual and meditation. Ultimately we want to create beautiful powerful  music and bridge cultural gaps.
