Trulio Disgracias will be Performing Black Sabbath Classics like you’ve never heard before!
The Blackened Sabbath show is reimagining that heavy riffage through the filter of the nutty / funk / nasty mastermind of the Legendary bass player, vocalist and band conductor Norwood Fisher.
The Band Trulio Disgracias is an offshoot of the Parliament Funkadelic band, starting with the help of GEORGE CLINTON himself, and FLEA from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, lead by the notorious bass player & vocalist NORWOOD FISHER of Fishbone, TRULIO DISGRACIAS is an amazing funk masterpiece, incorporating outlandish performances of the “nuttiness,” lavish riffs, improv grooves, heart-pounding one drops & valleys into one seamless 2-hour set or more!
Formed in 1987, TRULIO DISGRACIAS has been touring the country since then, with a revolving all-star line-up that is hand selected by Norwood Fisher for each tour, combining powerhouse music veterans and up-and-coming stars on one stage. The Trulio family includes current and former members of Fishbone, Parliament Funkadelic, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bad Brains, Freestyle Fellowship, Spearhead, Weapons of Choice, Ozomatli, the Untouchables, Gap Band, Suicidal Tendencies, Slightly Stoopid, The Hinges, The Pharcyde, and the list grows stronger every year.
An evening with TRULIO DISGRACIAS has been defined as “the ultimate dance party”, leaving crowds dripping with sweat from too much heat on the dance floor. Rhythms of funk, hip hop, reggae, dancehall and soul all bless the stage during each performance. Multiple percussionists, musicians, vocalists, rude boys and dancers fill the Trulio stage with energy that astonishes even the most skeptical.
Trulio Disgracias will be performing deep cuts of Black Sabbath Classics, Blackened to perfection along with a set of organic original and improvisational music…with some of Big Islands most talented musicians as special guests.
