Sound Culture and Ratio Nation Presents
2009 Grammy Nominated LATIN URBAN ORCHESTRA from MIAMI
LOCOS POR JUANA
Sponsored by Arte y Vida Chicago
''Blending relaxed reggae grooves with biting social commentary, hip-hop raps with brassy solos, Locos por Juana pulls listeners into a reverse Gulf Stream churning through the Straits of Florida south to Jamaica, Venezuela and Colombia, and over to Puerto Rico.' - LA TIMES, Feb 2009
'"Miami's Best Latin Band" (New Times) LOCOS POR JUANA has leapt from the local to the national stage with the release of their third album La Verdad. With a multi-national lineup that creates the perfect urban-alternative musical representation of Miami as an epicenter for the cultural fusion of our hemisphere, LOCOS POR JUANA seamlessly blend elements of rock and hip-hop with a wealth of Latin American rhythms and the Caribbean groove of reggae and ska. With their sound now perfectly polished on La Verdad, Locos Por Juana has been capturing ears well beyond their Miami base.' - Jambase

Locos Por Juana (aka Latin Urban Orchestra) is coined as Miami's house band and has received awards and recognitions for Best Band of Miami (Miami New Times), Best US Band (BBC News), Billboard Hot Pick (Billboard Magazine) and has also been featured as Buzzworthy Video (MTV EspaÂol).
Additionally, their previous albums (as an independent band) were nominated to Premio Lo Nuestro in 2003 for Best Urban Artist and the Latin Grammy Awards in 2005 for Best Rock Album.
Locos Por Juana's style of life integrates a message of unity and their philosophy of "One Sound", a true reflection of the combination of Cumbia, Reggae, Rock and a myriad of other worldly influences resonating in every track of "La Verdad". The result is fresh and innovative, music that has traveled all over the United States and beyond.
