Eddy Zervigon was born in Cuba. He emigrated here with his brothers Rudy and Kelvin to Miami. After a brief stay, they left for New York City. Soon thereafter, they began playing with Latin legends Johnny Pacheco, Lou Perez, Alfredito Valdez Sr. and Arcenio Rodriguez. It was then that Eddy decided to form his own group with his brothers, Orquesta Broadway. The name came from their home address where they all lived - 135th and Broadway.

Throughout the decades, music styles changed but because of their fans and dancers of charanga Orquesta Broadway has flourished. The group has received numerous awards, including a lifetime achievement awards given by the State of New York and its people.

Will Holland aka Quantic is one of the most prolific and innovative working producers today. In 2007 Quantic moved to Cali, Colombia where he has been digging for lost unknown treasures of cumbia, salsa and latin funk.

British DJ/producer Quantic played guitar in various rock bands as a teenager, but it was his subsequent switch to house and broken beat that helped launch his musical career, especially after the 7" recording "We Got Soul" arrived in 2000. (Born Will Holland, Quantic is also part of Quantic Soul Orchestra, as well as the soul-folk-dance duo the Limp Twins.) In 2001, Quantic's full-length debut, The 5th Exotic, was released by the Tru Thoughts label, followed one year later by Apricot Morning. After briefly pausing in 2003 to record QSO's Stampede (for which he played organ, bass, guitar, and saxophone, among other instruments) and the Limp Twins' Tales from Beyond the Groove, Holland returned to his solo efforts with 2004's Mishaps Happening. Quantic Soul Orchestra's Pushin On was issued one year later, and 2006 proved to be particularly busy for the prolific DJ, as he released a compilation (One Off's, Remixes and B Sides), a reissue of The 5th Exotic, and another new Quantic album, An Announcement to Answer. In 2008 he could be heard tinkering with a blend of dub and '70s Latin on Death of the Revolution, which also marked his first release under the Flowering Inferno moniker. His most recent work as Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro see him drawing heavily on latin boogaloo and afro colombian sounds. http://www.quantic.org
