The EP was composed by the twin sisters Anabel and Cristabel Acevedo, using Spanglish Dominican slang in a minimalistic and bucolic sound combination of a bongo, ukulele-tuned classic guitar, and a tambourine, wrapped with naïve lyrics about sexual longing,[1] idyllic romances, and adulthood denial.[2]

The single "Chaka Chaka!" was the only song of the band to become popular reaching international recognition.

The first version of the EP was recorded using a Macbook pro and mixed with the software Audacity in December 2009 in a rehearsal room at Centro Cultural Srta. Ercilia Pepin in Santiago de los Caballeros. Later the EP was remastered in a professional studio and officially launched in February 2010.

The EP contains 4 songs and a bonus track.
