Timba Website - Klimax

"... it absolutely smokes. Klimax's sophomore effort burns. Crisp, tight arrangements and great compositions by leader/drummer, ex-NG la Banda band member, Giraldo Piloto. I'd like to think and hope this is the salsa of the future. Whew!" (Raul Rico at Descarga.com)

They're always innovating, not satisfied making just popular music but including in their songs a great variety of melodical lines and complex rhythmic concepts. The best!! - especially for musicians...
