"Twisting genres at will and singing with skewed humor. But it's largely unplugged, taking the horn section and guitar vamps of Puerto Rican salsa and bending them by way of Mingus and Sun Ra."
— New York Times
"(The Yo You Me Tú Trilogy) is an ambitious album and it shows in the intensely chiseled harmonic progressions that inform the pieces throughout this wonderful repertoire. I think that this is an album that herald's the coming of a new age of Latin Jazz (for want of a better term)."

"Zemog, El Gallo Bueno, twists salsa and Puerto Rican rhythms through the key-changing convolutions of Frank Zappa and Sun Ra. It's alt-salsa as American party music.
— Jon Perelis, New York Times
"Zemog has developed an original, satisfying spin on Latin rock that reveals an understanding of the Plena and Bomba and a desire to subvert [stereotypical ideas of 'Latin music']."
— Downbeat
"Dense rhythmic structures, avant brass and reed solos, vocals, and unpredictable arrangements make Zemog a challenging listening experience. Take the challenge; this is provocative music."
— Billboard
"Abraham Gomez-Delgado, the songwriter who leads Zemog El Gallo Bueno, is one of Latin music’s truest oddballs. His rhythm section, his voice and his sense of melody often draw on his Puerto Rican and Peruvian heritage, along with the rest of the Caribbean. But elsewhere, electric guitars aren’t shy about distortion and horns bring the angularity of jazz, sometimes turning the songs polytonal. And his lyrics free-associate with thoughts of family, love, politics, science and cyberspace.."
— Jon Perelis (recent), New York Times
"Culture-clashing Zemog melds metal and jazz with its Latin roots ."
— Boston Globe
