Rooted in the rich traditions of Panamá, a crisol de razas (an immigration program), the band’s sound is an embodiment of those diverse cultures, and its music encompasses the entirety of the Americas. The band interweaves styles as divergent as cumbia and blues, salsa, soul, and rock’n’roll – all boiled down into their own original sound.
