About Chapa

Chapa... A Los Angeles-based musical collective centered around the songs, stories, and vision of Lou Lewis.

Chapa shows have been described as an experience unto themselves,
combining soothing mood swings with samples, characters, pots and pans,
glasses, cello, oboe, steel guitar, drums, flutes, dancers, saxophones,
monologues, guitars, suling, talking drum, radio, etc., etc...

Apart from the greatness in the musicianship that dwells beside the
lyrical cleverness, this sound is a very worthy addition to the
prog-rock and fretboard explorer’s classics table. Chapa is not Roger
Water's cousin or Frank Zappa's ex guitarist.. he's Chapa.. and he's
brilliant!
