The band’s reputation as the funkiest, finest and hardest working latin orchestra to come of the United States in the last decade was expanded by the June 2008 release of “Sonidos Gold” and the incredible response that followed. “They blast off in their own funktified, genre-breaking directions” exclaimed Billboard Magazine and the Boston Globe declared that “Fantasma is honing a decidedly 21st-century version of Latin groove.” Their trademark innovative sound and incendiary live shows garnered a cover feature in Pollstar Magazine, radio spots on NPR’s “Day to Day” and PRI’s “The World” and extensive press coverage throughout North America and Europe. The album also spent several months in the top ten of the CMJ world charts.
