Beija Flor is a sound that extends beyond genres and mediums, offering a clash of fragile, twinkling melodies met with raw epic arrangements that encompass a vast spectrum of emotions. Evolving since 2003, Beija Flor has grown to be a diverse group of talented musicians, all who bring a variance of musical tastes and influences to the group. Through producing, performing and recording a collection of original music, Beija Flor has created an excited hum in independent music with their debut album, "The Quiet One and the Lonely One". With their second and brand new album "The American" Beija Flor has produced a more polished and mature album that sets the bar in independent alternative rock.
