From Melbourne, Australia Dr Hernández fuse Colombian cumbia, NuYoRican boogaloo, Cuban son and funky reggae with a healthy dose of electronica, clav-driven grooves, soulful horns, percussion and Sally Ford’s trademark soaring vocals in Spanish and English.  "8 Remedios" features seven original tracks plus a tribute to the Queen of Afro-Colombian cumbia, Toto La Momposina, in a reworking of her classic rumba, El Pescador (The Fisherman).

The regular operating team of Sally Ford, Patrick Cronin, Michael Havir, Catherine McQuade, David Joseph and Peter Slipper bring to Dr Hernández a collective legacy of working with bands such as the ARIA-winning Melbourne Ska Orchestra, the Spaghetti Western Orchestra, Texicali Rose, Yothu Yindi, Deckchairs Overboard, Sally Ford and the Pachuco Playboys, Joe Camilleri’s Black Sorrows, The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra, Frank Yamma, Skazz and Batacuda.  For the album they joined by Dave Evans on accordion and master percussionist Javier Fredes.
