In August 2009 Mucho Axé released their album "Time is Art / Tiempo es Arte" which was conceived as an original piece of art in Latin and World Beat Music focussing on Salsa, Cumbia, Cha-Cha-Rock, Mambo and Brazilian Samba and also a flavor of Reggae-Ska-Reggeaton with mostly original songs from Pepa.

Mucho Axé, Time Is Art. The third album from this eight-year-old paragon of progressive Bay Area Latin music is a fresh, mid-tempo assemblage of reggaeton, cumbia, mambo, samba, salsa, rock, and more. Using the cover art to equate their music to a slow drag from a cigarette was bold, but smart; like the two-minute guitar solo in Seductor, it bolsters the band's laid-back vibe and the philosophy Time Is Art.
