Radio La Chusma, Ashes of Babylon

Two of our favorites in the house on the same night!

It is a band at the crossroads, with a style and sound that crosses borders and… Show more cultures with ease. They sing in English, Spanish and Spanglish. Their sound is an infectious mix of Caribbean and South American sounds aimed at a mainstream American audience." TJ English
