el mantis
El Mantis emerged from Houston through a collaboration between drummer/vocalist Angel Garcia, saxophonist Danny Kamins and guitarist Andrew Martinez. Mixing many genres, with an emphasis on avant-guarde jazz, El Mantis are quickly becoming known in the Houston experimental music scene for their inventive, passionate compositions. In 2022, they released their first CD independently (now sold out!) and performed live in cities all over Texas.
CIA is proud to present El Mantis II on vinyl, now available on bandcamp!
This one is a true labor of love, backed with performances in Puerto Rico and around Texas. Check out our news blog to keep abreast of their shows, or visit the band’s website at facebook.com/elmantismusic.
