They've successfully added several extremely difficult Timba classics to their set list, but even their standard fare is now packed with modern Timba ideas - gear changes and numbered bloques spontaneously signaled by timbalero/leader Patricio Angulo, creative tumbaos from pianist Jason Moen and bassist Mike Lazarus, and interesting original coros, nicely executed and harmonized by a front line consisting of no less that four lead singers: QBA-veteran Osvaldo Carvajal, Carlos Ramírez, Leo Servin and Lina Luna . . . . . .
