Formed in 1984. In 1989, they embarked on a self-funded tour of New York, which became their major breakthrough. In 1990, they made their domestic and international debut with BMG Victor. Their debut album topped the Billboard Latin Chart for 11 consecutive weeks.

Their work has earned international acclaim, with achievements including the United Nations Peace Award (1993), a Grammy Award nomination (1995), the Special Prize at the Japan Record Awards (1991 & 1993), the New York Critics Award (1991 & 1992), tours in 23 countries worldwide, an appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen (1993), and a collaboration with Carlos Santana, among many others.

Though the group disbanded in 1997, they resumed activities in 2002. Since then, they have been active both domestically and internationally, performing at various jazz and rock festivals, and collaborating with renowned Japanese artists such as Yōsui Inoue, Yumi Matsutoya, Kazufumi Miyazawa, Masayoshi Yamazaki, and Maki Ohguro. They have also participated in the Tamori Cup and given performances at schools.

In March 2019, a rehearsal video of their debut song “Salsa Caliente Del Japón” posted on Facebook surpassed 10 million views and continues to be watched globally, particularly throughout Latin America.

Actively performing under the banner of their “Japan Latinization Project,” the group celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2024 with even more energetic activities. Their first-ever crowdfunding campaign achieved approximately 200% of its goal, and on May 22, they released the commemorative album Más Caliente, followed by celebratory concerts in various locations.

2025 marks the 35th anniversary of their major debut.
