Thus emerged a group that bring together outstanding musicians of Venezuelan music scene. Jazz is the epicenter and base of the musical repertoire of this band, which coexists with the rhythm of ska. His first album is product of a large and prolonged independent effort that has been achieved with the support of each of the musicians. The repertoire consists of 10 well know jazz standars, funk and Latin tunes; versions that make an effective fusion of that genres and ska with its variants, maintaining on the arrangements, by Francisco Issa, a perfect music aesthetic balance in the style of the versioned genres. This production is dedicated to all those who in one or another way contributed to its creation. The musicians involved with his talent; audio technicians and recording studios; our friends and family who have given us their unconditional support for our musical life; our teachers, who were our creative and spiritual forgers.
