"Systema Solar have known how to "prender la fiesta" for some years now throughout Colombia, as well as touring worldwide with their first and second albums ... Their newest offering Rumbo A Tierra promises to continue in the same vein, heavily inspired by picós, the massive, brightly decorated boom boxes used to start street parties along the Caribbean coast. Systema Solar reinvent and combine traditional Colombian rhythms like cumbia, champeta, salsa, bullerengue and African rhythms with electro, hip-hop, house, etc. In Rumbo a Tierra this mixing of genres creates an exuberant and infectious sound that is difficult to squash into one musical genre ... Rumbo a Tierra has a mission that goes deeper than filling a dance-floor; speaking about reconnecting with the earth, Afro-Colombian roots and recognising current issues in the country such as the drought in La Guajira region in the track "Aguazero" ... Systema Solar wholeheartedly embrace and utilise their Colombian-ness, andtherich diversity that their country has to offer".

"From the land between Colombia's Caribbean coast and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Systema Solar is a collective with a strong visual sensibility and a heavy new Afro-Caribbean sound. Mixing sounds like champeta, bullerengue, hip-hop and electronic beats, Systema Solar is set to kick 2017 off right ... Rumbo A Tierra translates to "Toward The Earth," and the album constantly asks environmentally aware questions amid an EDM-cumbia crossover. Challenging both traditional music and current politics, it takes listeners on a colorful and politically urgent journey ... Rumbo A Tierra is a protest album that never lets its innovation stand in the way of its forcefulness".
