Tito & Tarantula - La Laiterie - Strasbourg

Born in Mexico and raised as the son of a trapper in the Alaskan wilderness, Tito Larriva's career began in Los Angeles. Larriva became part of the L.A. music and film scene of the 1980s. At the same time, the trained ballet dancer's acting career also began. Tito Larriva has written music for over 50 films (including the theme songs for Machete (2010) and Machete Kills (2013) and television series. The starting point for Tito & Tarantula was Robert Rodriguez's offer to collaborate on From Dusk Till Dawn (1995). The legendary performance as the vampire house band at the ‘Titty Twister’ bar and the worldwide success of the film brought the band (as support for Joe Cocker) to Europe for the first time. The European release of their debut album ‘Tarantism’ with the classic songs from ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’, ‘After Dark’, ‘Angry Cockroaches’ and ‘Strange Face of Love’ followed in 1997. These songs mark the beginning of a new era in American film music and demonstrate Tito Larriva's extraordinary abilities as a singer and composer.
