Art of the Essential is Chris Caparro.
Los Angeles based, Philadelphia native Chris Caparro has spent the last 15 years cultivating his musical tastes in a wide variety of musical genres. Having grown up on hip-hop his roots run deep, with his first record every purchased being Africa Bambaata’s “Renegades of Funk”. It was monumental for him, breaking boundaries and setting a clear path for open creativity in the world of music.
Fast forward 20 years to 2002 and it was officially time to get started. Chris bought equipment, started collecting vinyl and the rest as they say ... is history.
For the past 15 years Chris has hosted a variety of successful Los Angeles based parties which include “Funky in the Middle”, “16Bit&Beyond”, “Family Affair” and the monthly “Rise Up” party in Hollywood.
