One can say that this Album is the work of a group of musical alchemists who, by blending different styles and genres, give life to masterful compositions... ...a journey through a vast and colourful soundscape, precisely fused with flamenco, candombe, tango, and African and Middle Eastern influences..
—Mariano Busnelli
