"Afro Sound is a "champeta" rhythm, native to indigenous Afro-Colombians, that emerged in the city of Cartagena (Colombia) in the eighties. It is a blend of Colombian rhythms and melodies with an African flavor. Our version integrates Reggae / Ragga, Hip-Hop and Funk sounds into the song", affirmed vocalist Itagüí Correa.

"We used the title 'Afro Sound' because of its sound and also, as a tribute to the band 'Afro Sound' of Medellín (Colombia), a group that Itagüí, many Colombians, and I listened to when we were kids", said Mark Kondrat, Locos Por Juana's guitarist.
