Carlos de Nicaragua y Familia

The mix of salsa and reggae is an expression of Carlos' constant search of the richness that naturally flows from mixing, rallying him to one of his favorite poets, Nicolas Guillen, of whom he put the « Sensemaya » poem into a song and who used to highlight that, in reference to Cuba : « there are no blacks, no whites, only mulattos ». It is the mixing of genres that pushes Carlos to constantly create and innovate. Therefore, besides salsa and reggae, one can find in Carlos' music many other influences such as rock, jazz, funk, rap, and more...and Carlos likes to metaphorically compare his music to a volcano : « first it sleeps, then wakes up, and finally explodes »...indeed, his music explodes in a mix of poetry, philosophy and afro-caribbean warmth sang in the melodious spanish language.
