It's a project imho.

I'm not even old enough to be "stuck in the past", and i still gravitate towards older music. It's not just you, dude. Metal musicians had more heart in earlier times.

They are a mexican band, they have a really neat sound. At times it is merengue, at times hip hop, occasionally salsa, and they also have a very indio influenced sound. Their lyrics are fairly revolutionary.

Anyone into folk music? I absolutely adore Lila Downs, and I'm starting ro really like Violeta Parra.
