1 Tv Colombia { 12.22.11 at 10:07 pm }: Me parece una gran idea fusionar la música colombiana con la norteamericana pero el video no aparece, por favor colóquenlo…
2 Canal Caracol { 10.07.12 at 11:46 pm }: Ahora sí, el video está muy bien y la música mejor. Gracias
3 Tv de Ecuador { 04.17.13 at 10:51 pm }: Yes, nice music. You should try to do this fusion with Ecuadorian music too, there are a lot of rhythms like bomba, san juanito, marimba esmeraldeña, pasacalle that could fit very well… Greetings
