Press:
“Rooted in flamenco music, LoCura fuses elements of punk, funk, reggae and Cuban son to create a sound that’s as urgent — and exhilarating — as the politics of resistance they embrace.”- WASHINGTON POST
“[LoCura] crashes through stylistic barricades with a kinetic blend of ska, son, funk and nueva canción. It's party music for the revolution (or a musical uprising looking for a party).” – The San Francisco Chronicle
“LoCura-stylistic globetrotters who blend elements of rock and funk with hefty doses of Latin rhythms and sounds from even further afield.” - National Geographic World Music Top Pick
----------------
