In a press release from the Barron Arts Center, "The band is a mixture of different musical elements that help create its melodic magic. As a result, the band is able to reach a multitude of audiences that may crave a full “Salsa Orquesta” or others that may prefer an all-American jazzy rhythm section... Pulpo is coming off the successful release of his debut album “Hot Bread” awarded Best Latin Album at the 2008 Independent Music Awards."
