And thus, it’s in the very heart of a cave where the first story is born.

It also threads eight songs into one single story, one that travels down by the river, through the jungle, to the coast and arrives into the city; and recreates a time where the vigorous beginnings of rebellious Latin music genres such as cha cha chás, charanga, merengue, guaracha and cumbia filled dance halls, hotel ballrooms and street gatherings.
