Hailing from Cali, the vibrant HQ of Colombian dance music, this ten-piece led by the charismatic Jacobo Vélez (pictured) reinvigorate salsa with a funky-as-hell brass section, energetic vocals and a fantastical mythological back-story. Suffice to say they make some of the most raw, passionate and visceral Latin dance music you will hear anywhere in the world. A Top of the World in #126.
