Music is one of the most influential and powerful universal languages in the planet.

It transcends time, culture, language and geography. Music is a language that connects to your senses and taps to your individual experiences. A flawless command of this language is a rare gift that only a few have succeeded to master- and CNCO is one of them.

Joel Pimentel, Richard Camacho, Erick Brian Colón, Christopher Vélez, and Zabdiel De Jesús have a come a long way since winning La Banda. From countless tours, multiple global music awards and nominations, album releases, collaborations, CNCO is ushering and redefining the neo international boy band era.  

Their meteoric rise to success can be easily attributed to their collective talents, and their massive global fanbase but in its core, it’s their music that hits their audience’s soul. It’s their music that tells their stories that lingers in the hearts of their listeners.

CNCO’s music is a declaration of their language- their talent, art, and love to the world.

In this special collector’s issue, we were fortunate to create something with the talented guys of CNCO before the lockdown. We caught up with them and chatted about their lives and things related to their music. If you’re a CNCO fan and reading this, we hope this issue brings you a little bit of joy amidst the current social situations. Here’s a little glimpse into the vast world of these talented artists. Enjoy!
