Expanded (at times) by up to 24 additional musicians, including the Cuban Los Van Van, the band remain true to their heady blend of flamenco, rumba, jazz, rap, reggae and funk. Art creeps in, as do the anti-establishment leanings of lead vocal-person Marina Abad. Ranging from touching to fiery, via a savage rap-attack evidently upon a former band member ('Donde Te Has Metio', it's rousing, furious and well up to the standard set by their previous efforts.
