“Por el Cielo”

From CDBaby:

The newest creation from UL features guest artists from Spearhead. This is high energy World Groove to move your mind body and soul. This soul stirring album has been compared to releases by Ozomatli, Zap Mama, Sergento Garcia and Manu Chao.

Universal Language is a musical melting pot fusing Latin and world grooves to create infectious high energy dance music. With strong roots in Mexico, Israel, Cuba, Italy and California, UL has united realizing a pancultural vision of unity through music. Their driving dance oriented grooves have been compared to Latin fusion bands such as Ozomatli and Orishas, yet they bring a style and sound that is all their own. Positive lyrics, blistering latin percussion, Cuban tres, double bass, Andean Charango and Spanish guitar are some of the ingredients used to create a rich cultural landscape that gives their music an energy that always leaves the crowd inspired.

“The Jons Greatest Hits vol II is a dynamic, tight, sonic roller-coaster of sound that will bring you along for the ride and leave you saying praise the Jons.” - Alphie Mc Nab

Loved in their hometown of Tucson for their zany stage antics and catchy songs, the Jons are ready to take the world by storm with the release of their upcoming album The Jons’ Greatest Hits Pt. 2.

Their successful 2004 tour of the West Coast and increasingly larger local audiences have proved the Jons’ ability to captivate crowds with their sound, look and attitude. Maybe it’s their blazing horns, maybe it’s their ability to rock bilingually or maybe it’s just their whole package, but the Jons have what it takes to create a unique and memorable mark on world music.
