Artist Bio:
From their birth on New York City's mean streets, King Chango quickly established themselves at the top of Latin rock's international heap with their debut, King Chango. Their mix of hard-charging ska, Latin rhythm, and roots reggae converted virgin audiences into true believers from Venezuela to Mexico, Spain, and Japan. "Melting Pot," their hit single and video, gets regular rotation on LinkTV.
The world of Latin alternative music has exploded. The so-called Latin Boom in mainstream U.S. pop has nothing on a worldwide revolution that's seen whole genres — from Latin electronica to bilingual hip-hop — spring up from Argentina, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and beyond. King Chango proved themselves to be in the vanguard of a post-modern, mix-n-match aesthetic. A multicultural, co-ed band of Venezuelans, Asians, Dominicans, Nuyoricans, and more made something new out of traditional music from mariachi to mambo, dub to cumbia.
