Ever since then they’ve become sensations in their native Cuba, with two further hit albums in the form of 2010’s “A Full” and 2012’s “Oro: Lo Nuevo y Lo Mejor” and even their own fragrance to boot. The band scored a big hit with their 2005 debut single “Pa' la Gente de Mi Zona”, and self-released their debut album in the same year. Ditching straight hip-hop in favour of Reggaeton infused with the traditional Cuban music of their childhood, the move paid off almost instantaneously. With the addition of Carmenates and Otero, he also set about rethinking the musical style of the band. However, Michel left in 2005, and Delgado responded by recruiting another rapper in the form of Yosdany "Jacob Forever" Carmenates and a producer named Fernando "Nando Pro" Otero. Originally, Delgado formed the group as a straight hip-hop duo with fellow rapper Michel Delgado (no relation) and the two of them would occasionally perform at house party’s and clubs together. The projected was christened Gente De Zona, or “People From The Neighbourhood”, but it took a while before the project grew into anything resembling a band. An urban area of Havana, Alamar is recognised as the birthplace of Cuban hip-hop, so to honour that reputation, Delgado gathered a posse of rappers who hailed from the same neighbourhood to make some tracks together. The band was conceptualised by the rapper Alexander Delgado in the neighbourhood that he group up in, Alamar.
