“Chevere” is
Spanish for "Cool", "Great",
"Wonderful". With compositions
and arrangements by El Gran
Maestro Oscar Meza and a
line-up of musicians that reads like
a “WHO’S WHO” of the Los
Angeles Latin music scene, Chevere's
moniker seems appropriate.
Chevere has performed overseas in
summer festivals in Thailand,
Singapore, Indonesia, Kuala Lampur,
Hong Kong, Malaysia, Canada, Puerto
Rico and throughout the European
continent.
