The Rayos

The Rayos are a husband and wife team of songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, writing individually and together. Saul Rayo is first generation American of Nicaraguan heritage; Elena Rayo is of British Isles descent. Together, they've formed a yin-yang group with powerful international musicians, with many of the band performing together over 20 years, including Austrian Thomas Schuebel who learned guitar in Africa, and Lou Meyer, keyboards, and Ascension Vargas, of Native American and Hispanic descent. Their songs address issues of political oppression, relationship, and preserving our natural world.
