Twin brothers Guillermo and Gabriel Ariza were born in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. Since they were kids they serenaded neighbors with their music and participated in school contests developing their skills. Pursuing careers in music they moved to the United States. They worked in all kinds of odd jobs before making a living from their music. The brothers have performed on well-known television shows such as Sabado gigante, Cristina, Despierta America, and The Ricki Lake Show. They participate in the album “Zorro the Masked Musical,” a Broadway production with Debbie Gibson, Roberto Blades and Ruben Gomez.
