The ear del gruppo è però particolarmente attento ai suoni del mondo, con particolare riguardo alle atmosfere solari dell'area mediterranea, da cui molte delle musiche traggono ispirazione. Tale miscela di suggestioni sonore riecheggia continuamente, ed è riconoscibile, se fosse necessario definirla, nell’espressione “etno-jazz”; etno a causa del materiale musicale utilizzato e jazz per via delle strutture musicali e dell’elaborazione estemporanea utilizzata nelle esecuzioni live. L’elaborazione del materiale musicale ha prodotto un vasto repertorio di brani originali e qualche rara cover reinterpretata in modo altrettanto originale.
