“Seeing so many people smoking outside of buildings, I started thinking about how interesting us humans are; we continue certain habits despite the fact that we know they are bad for us. I co-wrote the song with PALO!’s lead singer Leslie Cartaya and her cousin and my friend Pepin Rivero. It tells the story of Fatima, a woman who can’t stand smoke. A caution to dancers and listeners: this song can be addictive!” – Steve Roitstein, keyboardist, producer, and founding member of PALO!

“Afro-Cuban Funk is Cuban music for the new generation and the leader of the sound is PALO!” – The New York Post

“Best Latin Band in 2014” – Miami New Times

“Palo! is a proof that music is limitless. They took the old Funk style and blended it with traditional Cuban rhythms to give life to something that rather feels fresh, contemporary and new.” – Voxxi
