""Mezcla" conveys the hard-driving energy and passion of this self-styled immigrant working band, which combines Afro-Colombian rhythms, reggae, hip hop, Afrobeat, and a vocal style reminiscent of Totó La Momposina. Equally at home in Cape Verde, Denmark, Canada, and the uS, all of which they have toured extensively, M.A.K.U. captures the restless spirit and cosmopolitan political edge of the Latin diaspora in the United States and beyond".
