The band highlights the rich melodies and hypnotic rhythms of the Afro-Latin diaspora through traditional and original music, with a deep appreciation for world music and its diverse cultures. Spotlight performances on the 2024 NPR Tiny Desk Concert Tour and at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival catapulted them into broader recognition. They have shared stages with Los Mirlos, Son Rompe Pera, Thundercat and Lee Fields, cementing their reputation as one of the most electrifying acts in alternative Latin music.
