In 2014, Boogaloo Assassins joined the iconic 60s era Latin label Fania, and backed Fania legends Joe Bataan and Roberto Roena for Fanias's 50th Anniversary show in San Francisco, CA. With the success of "No No No" the Boogaloo Assassins were invited to perform at 2019's Salsa al Parque. This is one of Colombia's premier Salsa events, with more than 17,000 people in attendance! The group has also been featured on many Los Angeles radio stations and have won OC Weekly Music Awards "Best Latin Band" 3 separate times.
