For more than 20 year Eblis Alvarez (Meridian Brothers), Mario Galeano (Frente Cumbiero, Ondatropica) and Pedro Ojeda (Romperayo, Sidestepper) have been exposed to Latin America's tropical genres, which for many years have been relegated to the lowest ranks of good taste. Vallenato, Peruvian chicha, Colombian raspa, champeta, some African sounds and cumbia in its different genres (sabanera, rabajada, sonidera) make part of the new style that Los Piranas expose in the agitated Colombian music scene.
