While a good number of new artists today choose to make music based on popularity trends to assure their success, Da? Zoo bets on the fusion of rhythms to earn their spot on the artistic scene. Da' Zoo is an electro pop band formed in San Juan, PR in 2009. The original lineup consists of Charly Zoo, Yo-Fred, Raggi and Eli-Joe; four Puerto Ricans that have come together under one name to make something new happen in music.
Da? Zoo has an electric base fuse with other rhythms like pop and reggae, considered basically as ?Electro Pop?. Their lyrics are in Puerto Rico?s slang. They sing like they talk.
The band released their debut album in June, with an assortment of songs under the dance format. The album also includes romantic lyrics and is directed to ?people who like originality and, above all, fun.?

"Humans are rational animals, but they keep on being, above all, animals", explained Eli-Joe. The band viewed the name according to a zoo, but more as a zoo of ideas and influences. "Ever since we locked ourselves up in the studio we saw that we were four animals making music" says Charly. In this process of recording and mixing, the band's name arises.
As inspiration for their music, they use the slang from their natal country, Puerto Rico. So the same way they talk, they sing. Every member contributes to the compositions. "Here there is not just one author. We all write them together."
The band is signed to the Record Label, Sony Music Entertainment US Latin.
