“Con este Sazon, dale alma!” 🌎🔥 Sazón is more than flavor—it’s the rhythm, history, and spice that makes each culture unique.

The band hit the @oceanbeachca Farmers Market to taste flavors from around the world and celebrate how food and music bring us all together.

The perfect soundtrack? Our new single “SAZÓN” is OUT NOW! 🎧✨

Drop your country’s flag below and tell us: what gives your culture its sazón? 👇🏽

At 6 years old, he made his 1st drum set from pot lids and cardboard boxes, all to prove to his mom how dedicated he was for music— meet Ruben Gomez. Growing up in Chula Vista, drums became a central part of his life, allowing him to connect people through rhythm and soul. Today, as a member of Cruz Roots and bands like @synrgyband and @monilightt, he continues to spread love and inspiration through music. Ruben's passion is driven by his desire to be a role model for his son, proving that dreams can be pursued successfully. Every time he plays the drums, he tells a story you can feel deeply in the chest. I feel privileged to have him as part of the Cruz Roots family 🙏🏽 #CruzRoots #FamilyAndRhythm #RootsVibes taken in San Diego, California by @don_rubes
