After 5 years of working their collective asses off in different parts of the world with different projects, the members of TOCA have finally returned to the studio and completed their debut album to be released by Two Tone Elephants. TOCA has already earned underground praise for their standout appearance on the 2005 Project Blowed 10 Year Anniversary Album and for their collaborations with some of LA's finest rappers including Aceyalone and Mikah 9 (Freestyle Fellowship), Abstract Rude, 2Mex (Of Mexican Descent/Visionaries), Busdriver, Awol One and many others. Outside of the studio, TOCA has earned its stripes playing dynamic, show-stopping performances on stages spanning the US from its home base in Los Angeles to New York, San Francisco, and even Hawaii. The Original TOCA sessions were conceived in 2001 by Danny "Xololanxinxo" Rodriguez (of seminal L.A. hip-hop group Of Mexican Descent). During the summer heat, Xinxo orchestrated a retreat at his California home for the top latin musicians he met while touring the world. Over wild nights of jamming and experimentation, this handpicked collective began recording an unpredictable masterpiece of jazz, punk, hip-hop and reggae. Finally, after years hidden behind closed doors, TOCA will release their debut self-titled album in May 2007.
