This year marks the 26th anniversary of the band's formation at the urging of its leader, Taro. They have created the one and only "Okinawa Salsa" worldview by mixing Cuban and other Latin music with Okinawan elements, and are now developing their own unique sound by absorbing not only Latin music but also various other music from around the world.

In 2015, they performed at the World Music Expo "WOMEX" in Huangary. While energetically performing live in Japan, they has also performed at festivals and other events in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Spain, the U.S., Canada, and other countries around the world. Released their 12th album in June 2024 while further sublimating the fusion of Okinawan music and world music.
