Led by stalwart Puerto Rican percussionist HECTOR LUGO, the group's distinctive sound balances the color and range of the Puerto Rican and the Venezuelan cuatros, the bass guitar, and the accordion. Adding to the energy is he percussive drive of the barrel shaped Bomba drums, the panderos of the Plena, and the güícharo - bongó tandem of the Música Jíbara of the Puerto Rican countryside.
