"To call them a Latin Rock band (quoting Rolling Stone magazine) doesn't do them half the musical justice they deserve. In an age where it's not unlikely to see extreme blends of styles, Panama-based Los Rabanes is a trio that blends in an exquisite and extremely contagious way the sounds of Punk, Power Rock, Calypso, Reggae, Ska, Hip Hop, Merengue, House and Salsa, bringing back to mind the legendary Argentinian band, Fabulosos Cadillacs with Spanglish lyrics. In this self-titled release recorded in Miami, with Roberto Blades (Ruben's yoonger brother) and Emilio Estefan Jr. in the producer's seats, Los Rabanes create a unique stadium-like party environment that will get anyone with half an ear to listen and a leg to move, jumping into the dance floor in a few beats! It's virtually impossible to come up with a fave song. The entire album is highly danceable and a "rumba" from end to end!"
Compralo ya!

"Similar to Los Fabulosos Cadillacs... la mejor cancion es "i Shot the Law". Divertido, differente, y muuuuucho calor!"

"Finally a true music blend has arrived in the original (trust me it is) style of Los Rabanes, under the production of Emilio Stephan Jr. This panamanian band reflects energy, fun, a taste of black humor melted with a regaee, calypso, salsa in a garage-like punk rock... in spanish!!! You won't be sorry... give it a try!!!"
Tienes q comparlo!
