The Raspas

Exploding from the music capital of the world, The Raspas' name is one that those both in and outside of Texas have inevitably come to admire. To this day The Raspas continue to attain new fans with their entertaining and music and impressive stage performance.



Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Aaron Wolpin brings pleasing sounds between chords, rhythms, and melodies. He soulfully delivers his words and guitar playing to every listening ear. Bassist Bryan Cruz delivers a solid foundation for the music as each strategically placed note ultimately creates the signature sound which separates The Raspas from most reggae bands. When performing with drummer James Gottardi, the beat rocks steady as an "in the pocket" performance keeps the crowd moving. Percussionist Kyle Atkinson is a vibrant colorful player. His syncopated rhythms and unique approach to his instruments gives the band a fulfilling vibe. When performing with drummer Karl Moreno, rocking reggae beats leave an intense, and in your face, reggae vibe that, to this day, keeps the crowds bouncing.



The band constantly finds themselves in an easy, creative, and unique songwriting process unlike any other. Going from the mellow soothing sounds of reggae to the fast pace sounds of ska and rock, The Raspas are notorious for reaching everyone’s highs and lows. With their first CD entitled "Cani Bus" selling over 1,000 units, The Raspas have had the opportunity to be featured on radio stations such as KSYM 90.1 FM in San Antonio, Q94.5 in McAllen, as well as others. Along with this attention, The Raspas have gained tremendous amounts of interest after appearing on the internationally syndicated “HIGH TIMES Magazine”.



With over 6 years of performing regionally throughout Texas, and touring the entire Gulf Coast, it’s interesting to see where The Raspas are going next. With this level of energy and complete dedication, The Raspas are continuously leaving there mark in the hearts of listeners throughout their continuous expansion in this musical world.
