The band consists of Sergio Sacoto-Arias (vocals), Andrés Sacoto-Arias (bass), Pablo Santacruz (keyboards) and Pablo Estrella (guitars).

LOS CRUKS, as they are known , have distinguished themselves from the start by being a band who has tried to rescue the values of their mixed race culture. In their music, the band fuses rock with such diverse genres like pop, afro-Latin music, funk, and Latin-American folklore, among many others types of musical expression. This eclectic blend has resulted in the characteristic sound of the band.

LOS CRUKS have the intention of continuing to conquer the international market and to be further recognized with achievements, such as their Latin Grammy pre-nomination with their previous album 13 Gracias .
