Hey bro! Hmm Im a little confused... I assume you mean the photos where Im hanging at the bar with Cindy, (a local percussionist) she is not my wife! 
hehehe.
My girlfriend is a singer who fronts her own timba/salsa band and is presently recording a solo album, all originals... Yours truly on percussion.
As for our drummer/timbalero, his name is Steve aka Chubz.. He was born in Australia, of Chilean parents. For every gig he usually wears a different soccer jersey. He is a soccer freak.

kinda wish it woulda been more on the tradtitional sound that way you coulda heard the actual instruments of your band bro!
Great job anyhow and good accomplishment just would have been killer if the music was more on the Latin jazzy side but thats just my taste and opinion and I know you didnt direct the commercial you just danced to the music so to speak
But all in all way to go!

Hey bro!
Just to clear things up a little, this was not my band on the song.
I was invited to record the congas and Carlos (our bands singer/rapper) laid the vocals. (he also wrote the lyrics)
All music was pre recorded by the people contracted by Pepsi.
We simply added percussion and vocals.
I will try to get some dvd footage of some of my bands performance hosted online for y'all to check out soon.
Cheers.
