The quartet comprises Polish-Peruvian siblings Marita and her brother José Manuel, Dominik Wania and Andrzej Święs. They explore themes ranging from tropicalismo and Afro-Peruvian music to free improvised forms that extend beyond Latin jazz. Their first album, Aguas Calientes (Youkali Music, 2015), was dominated by an intense groove section, a dazzling piano sound with sweeping harmonies and a sensitive interpretation of consciously chosen lyrics accentuating the issues of equality and feminism.
