PRESS QUOTES & WORD ON THE STREET

"His songs are infectious, blazing with catchy choruses and an effective and delicious fusion flavor... are dub, hip hop, reggae, currulao and even drum & bass, all at once'' Shock Awards
How Zalama Crew does it taste? A splash ... as borojó based. A well valluno spatter. As a kind of concoction of Cali and Pacific, as a cocktail. Tastes with all the flavors of the city. It tastes like stew with chili. It tastes like fish, potato, cassava and rice atollado. Taste like everything "... El Clavo Magazine
"They make us feel that they are direct children of rock, funk, reggae, soul and electronic music. His song “ No hay marcha atras” ("No turning back"), is part of his first album Zalama lekum, which blends dance and thoughts as we dive into the world of this group. "Music Alliance Pact (MAP)
