Merengue, with its infectious beat and spirited rhythms, has always been a music genre that gets people onto the dance floor.

Their story is one of passion, innovation, and a remarkable legacy that lives on through their music.

They left an indelible mark with the track 'Huelepega' which has not only become a classic but also played a role in promoting a Venezuelan film of the same name.
