Their music is a reflection of their diverse influences, blending the traditional sounds of the accordion and bajo sexto with the modern beats of reggaeton and hip-hop. This fusion of styles has earned them a loyal fan base and critical acclaim.
Their breakthrough moment
Their collaboration with Bad Bunny has brought them even more attention, and they have been featured on various music platforms and news outlets. They recently performed on the Latin Grammy Awards stage, solidifying their place in the Latin music industry.
