La Mecanica Popular, Latin experimental group from New York City led by Peruvian musician/researcher Efraín Rozas was chosen by Juanes as one of the Top 3 Live Latin Acts in the US. They were featured on NPR's Soundcheck with Juana Molina, and at New York's Central Park Summerstage for Fania records's 50th anniversary, the Queens Museum, Brooklyn Museum, the legendary Congahead sessions, and at Austin Levitation festival with Flying Lotus and Animal collective.

Their new album Roza Cruz is an exploration of a deeper experimentalism, that draws from Latin American psychedelia, Miles Davis On the Corner era and West African concepts of rhythm. Some quotes describing it: “An entrancing experimental-salsa band”- The New Yorker, “Salsa on an acid trip”- BBC, “Radical Afro-Latin futurism”- NPR, “Brings tradition to new creative heights”- Remezcla and “This is not new Latin music, it’s new music”- Gladys Palmera.
