TKA is an American freestyle/house music group who were most prominent in the 1980s and early 1990s, particularly in New York City, Philadelphia, and Miami. The acronym TKA represents their collective initials, and it was said for a time that it also stood for "Total Knowledge in Action." All of TKA's members are of Puerto Rican descent. Many freestyle fans consider them the kings of that genre, although Kayel seemingly downplayed this label, having jokingly stated, "There are no kings in freestyle. TKA is the best-selling and widely considered the most prominent and successful Latin freestyle band in recorded history.
