Our History
The band originally started in Puerto Rico and released an its first album, but our lead singer, Maurice Sanabria and his son Maurice "Tito" Sanabria, relocated to Chesterfield, VA in pursuit of professional opportunities. Their desire to conserve and promulgate Afro-Puerto Rican music drove the Sanabria family to start the band in Richmond in August 2018.
