Taking off from a popular Panasonic ad campaign of the day, legendary rocker Ronnie Hawkins dubbed him, ‘Nick Panaseiko, a man slightly ahead of his time’.

Amb humor despreocupat i un toc disbauxat, Santi Giménez i Malcolm Otero t'ensenyen el costat més fosc d'aquests genis que, molt probablement, han format part de la banda sonora de la teva vida.
