The masters of Miami s funk-pan Latin hybrid sound, Locos por Juana, release their anticipated sixth studio album Caribe

The masters of Miami s funk-pan Latin hybrid sound, Locos por Juana, release their anticipated sixth studio album Caribe today on iTunes. The album arrives in the aftermath of a hurricane proving the well-recognized resilience of the people of The Caribbean. An ambitious record, Caribe is the fruit of uncompromising commitment to creative discipline and to their extended creative community resulting in a dozen collaborations of stellar artists and musicians. In Caribe the band explores Caribbean sounds from soca to champeta with rich world flavors and a strong reggae influence.  The band transports listeners to familiar moods and rhythms though this work of art pulses with a sense of reinvention and new perspectives on their powerful roots. 

St. Croix based roots-reggae band Aka Beka s Vaughn Benjamin (ex-Midnite), Latin GRAMMY nominee El B (Los Aldeanos) American hip hop artist, Talib Kweli, Bermudan reggae star, Collie Buddz, Afro-Colombian powerhouseChocQuibTown, Colombian GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY winner Jorge Villamizar (ex-Bacilos), Boston s indie-roots musician, Chad Stokes (DISPATCH), synth-heavy pop duo, XAXO (Julca Brothers), Spanish hip-hop-flamenco lead vocalist, Marina (ex-Ojos de Brujo), GRAMMY nominee Afro-roots music star,Rocky Dawuni, Miami s Latin alternative band, Elastic Bond, and R&B, reggae-dancehall artist, Notch, bring their best work to Caribe, a 15-track album that was born with the release of their single debut, "Mueve, Mueve" in October 2015. A fun-shaped record, the song got even greater color with its lively music video shot in The Bahamas. 

The band s signature sound -a frenzy of Caribbean, Latin and world rhythms- takes a step into an exploratory and colorful vibration in Caribe to which these array of top-tier acts are strong contributors. The album combines a diversification of new flavors (hip hop-flamenco, jazzy, urban funk, and more) and the band sown hometown swagger as in their soon-to-be-released fourth single, "For The Ladies" featuring Talib Kweli and the band s first English track, "Summertime" featuring Chad Stokes of Boston-based indie-rock band DISPATCH. An institution in their hometown of Miami, GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY nominees Locos por Juana, have performed together and headlined shows for more than a decade. Friday, October 14^th, will see them perform at the Miami FC Soccer game as part of a concert series that kicked off with Maluma.
