Lutalo, also known as Brother Resistance, was a Trinidadian rhythm poet and musician. Born in 1954 in East Dry River, Trinidad, he dedicated his life to creating powerful music that resonated with audiences around the world.
With his unique blend of poetry and music, Lutalo captivated listeners with his thought-provoking lyrics and infectious rhythms. He used his art as a platform to address social issues and advocate for change.
Tragically, Lutalo passed away on July 13th, 2021 in Port of Spain, Trinidad. His legacy lives on through his timeless music that continues to inspire and empower generations.

Growing up in Minnesota, life constantly took multi-instrumentalist and producer Lutalo Jones back and forth across the Mississippi River, through the beating heart of the Twin Cities, from their home in Minneapolis to school in St Paul. In 2021 Lutalo and their partner moved east, to settle among the green peaks of Vermont, having taken ownership of an area of land with the intention of building a small community for themselves. The aim is to accomplish a long-held dream: to live life differently, to invest in and create something tangible that can be passed on to future generations. 

The to-and-fro of that early life has been replaced by something altogether more steady, a burning desire to not get so caught up in the intensity of the world. It's this overwhelming potency of modernity that ripples through Lutalo's musical work. Their sixsong debut EP, Once Now, Then Again, bristles with tension, despite the open laidback nature of the performance. The new EP – which follows a few well-received singles in 2021 and a run of live shows alongside Adrianne Lenker – spans both of Lutalo's contrasting worlds, the songwriting beginning in the Twin Cities before being finished in the serene surroundings of Vermont, and both environments leave their mark on Lutalo's rich and absorbing sound. For now, Lutalo's world consists of new pastures and new beginnings, the search for brightness in spite of all the dark. They remain optimistic in attitude, and steadfast in their belief that change can only happen when you believe in a better future. "At the same point you also have to recognize that this is also your time to be alive," Lutalo says, "and to try to find beauty in those moments and focus on the smaller details: to watch the water trickle down the stream, to see the ice as it melts from the rooftops."
