about

"…an authentic Miami sound is being forged by [Spam Allstars]." - Rolling Stone

“The Spam ... more Allstars are generating a buzz in the music business for their rhythmic mixtures of electronica, Latin, funk, hip-hop and dub. And the band members are just as diverse as the music they groove to.” - NPR

“a good old latin jam, a “descarga’, with the same spirit of Cuba where descarga originated.” BBC less
