Dragon Zaga is a 4-piece band that does not have the power of launching fire, but instead, they have perfect dose of powerful music and lyrics. Their original music is based on the combination of funk-based melodies, grinding guitar riffs and a rhythmically fierce foundation. The magnetic atmosphere that makes a live show of Dragon Zaga has gained the band a loyal following at different venues for their energetic show based on the fusion of Hip-hop culture with Hard Rock in a extreme Latino approach. Their long career includes the fact that they were called to open for "The Bloodhound Gang" in October 2000 in Mexico City, and they were part of the compilation CD "El que la hace la grita" (Sony Music) in September 2003.
