I considered PROD again as it this is especially PROD material but it's time to have another AfD nomination anyway (and my thoughts echo the first nomination's), my searches simply found nothing better than this, this and this. It's worth noting some of this is actually more about the founder Fidel Gamboa but I'm also not sure if he's solidly notable for a separate article. Notifying the only still noticeably active user.

 * Strong oppose. Apart from their news coverage and sales, the band has been described as "one of the central bands of the Costa Rican rock and music" (p. 54), appearing in numerous monographs on Costa Rican culture such as Cartografías sonoras, del tambito al algoritmo: una aproximación a la música en Costa Rica, Arte intímo: Apuntes de creadores costarricenses and Voces tatuadas: crónica de la poesía costarricense (1970-2004), or even Latin American music in general (Song and Social Change in Latin America). Plus a lengthy article in Cuadernos americanos is entirely devoted to the band. Neodop (talk) 12:04, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
