who are the Mini-Gods?:
"Mini-Gods are the “Givers Of Divine Sound”. Since the beginning of time, many civilizations and cultures from various backgrounds throughout the world have used MUSIC as a means of ritual, celebration, healing, and even to declare battle for war. Mini-Gods are a direct representation of ancient and modern pop/street culture fused into one ... The creator of Mini-Gods, Victor “Marka” QuiƱonez, wanted to bring something new to the table with soul, substance, and a reflection of oneself. Mini-Gods are inspired by Aztec, Mayan, African, Asian, South & Central American ancient art and culture.The main purpose of a Mini-God is to bring joy and peace of mind through visual and audio expression."
