“The idea of a group composed of citizens of the world performing an eclectic fusion of Latin sounds feels less like an ambitious mission and more like a gift to the rest of the people of the world”
- DOWNBEAT magazine
"...their unique sound, steeped in the Afro-Cuban tradition, takes on a decidely exhuberant character with its nods to R&B, reggaeton, rock and rap."
