The outstanding band members include musicians from various backgrounds and styles, all combining their feel and enthusiasm in the Latin American music world. The Project started in July 2001 with Pepa Quiroga and Edgar Macchiavello in command with the goal of developing new beats for a roughly 150 songs that were already written. It happened that many new songs were created and for the first time in 15 years of music collaboration, Pepa and Edgar started to write songs together. Songs like "Imposible" is an ironic tango feel with Pepa's lyrics and Edgar's music. An Uruguayian "condombe" feel is recognizable in "Musica Presente". A cha-cha-cha was unavoidable and "Inspiracion" was created in 2002. Mucho Axe delivers a refreshing new sound. Combining rhythms and passion from all different latin styles and countries.

One of the most popular Latin dances, the Cha Cha Cha is an elegant and rhythmical dance that comes from Cuba. It began as a variation of the Mambo called 'triple Mambo'. It has a triple beat & this is why it's named Cha Cha Cha.
It's fun, energetic, sexy and flirtatious, easily distinguished from other dances by its "Cha Cha Cha" rhythm.
