Influences:This music was mainly influenced by the golden age of Rap music which was moving paralell to the street salsa movement in the gettos of New York City and Latin America, When salsa and rapping were used as a way to protest, storytelling and party pomping. This was also a rainy age with a lot of youth and political movements pushing hard against imperialismo and social inequality. But we also have an infinite influence from all kinds of Latin Muzic,Reggae, African Muzic, House and Experimental Muzic.
