The album is credited to the International Vamp Band, consisting of Avi Lebovich and Yagil Baras from Israel, Diego Urcola from Argentina, Antonio Sánchez from Mexico, and Yosvany Terry from Cuba. The album is inspired by all four cultures, and it combines jazz, Latin, classical, and worldbeat. Cohen plays piano rather than his usual bass, which is played by Baras, who appeared on Cohen's album Colors in 2000.[2]
