Like hip hop's not my first language, right? voice-verified

I'm I'm a little older, so I came to it a little differently, but I do remember when you guys came out and I was, you know, m checking it out and l listening to Latino hip hop over the years and the way you guys it just voice-verified

F to me it just sounds like you guys have been doing this all along. voice-verified

That's what the record sounds like. voice-verified

Let me ask you about y where this record falls in your own individual stories, like you as people, as individuals, as from your cultural backgrounds, like where are you in your lives individually, one by one? voice-verified

Where are you in recognition of you know, who you are, where you come from, what you've been doing and and what this record says about you as an individual? voice-verified

You know, and I think that most people don't realize that our fans are your music voice-verified

Because I know I I've interviewed Eric. voice-verified

We did a whole show about his dad, Willie Bobo. voice-verified

And uh Sen, I've I've heard you online on social media talking about how your family actually knew Celia Cruz. voice-verified

That you're you know on on either end this conversation right now, you guys have deep roots into voice-verified

like the very beginning, the foundations of Latin music in this country with the New Yorkan Willy Bobo thing and and Celia Cruz from Cuba, knowing the family, like voice-verified

I don't think people understand or realize the connection you guys have to that history. voice-verified

And and Eric, you were talking a little bit too about, you know, your drawing on on the Latin jazz roots you have, you know, through your dad, Willie Bobo, who played with Tito Puente, who played with Kel Jader, who played with all the all the greats, all of my favorites. voice-verified

As a team ballet player myself, man, your dad's up there, right? voice-verified

He's like he's he's on a pedestal. voice-verified

And it shows in the music on the record and how. voice-verified

you have incorporated all these different cultures. voice-verified

There's hip hop, there's kumbia, there's all these other things. voice-verified

Authentically, it comes from a very authentic place. voice-verified
