World Music Central
Makrú, a band from the Mission District in San Francisco combines skillfully Colombian and Caribbean music, flamenco, rock, Middle Eastern flavors and much more on – Tu Mission (Makru Music, 2018)
Midwest Record
MAKRU/Tu Mission: World beat mash up that came together when world beat world travelers ran into each other in San Francisco, already a hot bed of melting pot mash ups, and let it all hang out. The average gringo won't know what's being sung here, but he's going to feel the vibe and even let some of the heat go to his feel. A sure turn on for armchair travelers, this heady concoction is all juice and no froth. Well done.
