Music Buzz: Colombia's Profetas Nos Ponen a Bailar

Para los que no los conocen, and those of you craving some refreshingly different and very danceable música, let us introduce you to the hip hop/reggae/rock/afro-Colombian quintet, Profetas. Estamos anciosos to hear some new music from these guys, since we're still awaiting the promised album to accompany their hot single "Baila," which was released last year.

Their 2006 release Amor y Fortaleza, earned them much deserved respect in the world of Afro-Latin music, being hailed by Rolling Stone as "the new blood that runs through the sonorous veins of a Colombian hip hop scenario, thirsty for identity, novelty, and urban reality." With influences ranging from Buju Banton to La Fania Allstars, their music transcends genres and creates a universal rhythm que nos intriga a todos a bailar.

Profetas, with their full band performances, have continued to set a buzz around the world, touring in Latin America with Method Man and Redman, and even taking their music on tour around Europe. Lo único que les falta is to release their new Baila album and conquer the world! But seriously, we can't wait for more Profetas music, check them out and you'll definitely see why!
