Oscar Tecu (lil Omar) is a Latin American songwriter based out of Fredericton, New Brunswick. Touching on subjects like love, racial injustices, and mental illness, Tecu portrays the refugee experience in Canada through song writing by blending traditional Latin American rhythms with western folk rock. By drawing inspiration from Latin American telenovelas and Joāo Gilberto’s bossa nova style, lil Omar’s multilayered compositions tell a story whether lyrically or instrumentally.
