Toronto Urban Latin ensemble fires up funk fusion! New video/single release “Mundo Desigual” (Unequal World) will have audiences speaking in tongues. Like the religion of Santeria their propulsive music is a mystical blend of old and new world influences – tribal rhythms expressing themselves in the gospels of popular song. Heartfelt guitar runs along with beat inducing electric bass while the dynamic drums transport the rhythm to funky Latin locales.​
