Brujeria will be pushing forward with their upcoming plans, despite the passing of vocalist/sampler Ciriaco “Pinche Peach” Quezada. Juan Brujo, the band’s vocalist confirmed the plans via the video below
Quezada passed away on July 18th due to heart complications. The funeral for Peach is expected to be on August 04th and a campaign for funds has been set up to help cover final expenses. If you’d like to contribute, you can do so here.
The band offered the following regarding the campaign:
“We are heartbroken to announce that Ciriaco “Peach” Quezada aka El Pinche Peach, passed away on July 17, 2024, from serious heart complications.
Ciriaco has left behind his beloved kids, Thaies and Joao, and his caring mother Dolores.
Peach was a founding member of the band Brujeria. He dedicated over 30 years to the project as its first unmasked member and cared deeply about forming connections with audience members. His passion and dedication to music manifested not only in his powerful stage presence but also in his kindness and affection for concert-goers. I am certain that most people who have seen a Brujeria show or worked with them in their prolific career have had a memorable moment with “Pinche Peach“.
Our family has incurred some serious costs to give Ciriaco a proper funeral that celebrates his life and legacy.
To help ease the stress caused by the funeral costs, the family of Ciriaco “Peach” Quezada has set up this GoFundMe page. A contribution of any size is deeply appreciated.
Thank you to all family, friends, and fans mourning the loss of El Pinche Peach.”
Quezada‘s bandmate, Shane “Hongo” Embury, also of Napalm Death, offered:
