In 2009 Mil Santos supported famous german bands on their entire tours, along with a soundsystem, representing the EP “CREO”.
Shortly after this he and his band were flown along with the whole band to Medellin, Colombia, in order to be involved in two concerts at “Zona Norte”:
the realization of a socially groundbreaking project for the history of Medellin, on the largest open air stage, being broadcast on live TV.
For the purposes of this stay the artists also gave music and lyrics workshops, which lead to day-long exchanges with young people from the surrounding Barrios.
These days were captured on film by the documentary film maker Diego Garcia, who is very well known in Colombia.

In 2010 MIL SANTOS once again went to Colombia.
MIL SANTOS song “Llegó el día llegó” was used in the presidential campaign of the Colombian green party. Because of the large amount of media coverage throughout all over Colombia, MIL SANTOS were received by a massive media presence some days later in Bogotá, Colombia. After many concerts and many more interviews (ZDF, CNN-USA,Billboard Magazine, Funkhaus Europa among others) in Bogotá, Cali etc, the climax took place on the Plaza Bolívar in the heart of Bogotá in front of 40,000 people.

Back in Germany MIL SANTOS and his live-band, musicians from all over the world, kept on playing familiar venues like Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, the stadium in Wiesbaden to mark a formula 1 fundraiser, the “Festival Mundial” (Holland), in which they were extremely excited (as with many other performances) to be on the line up in between Calle 13 and Sean Paul.
