Through their career, N'Klabe has collaborated with salsa singers like Gilberto Santa Rosa, Víctor Manuelle, Cheo Feliciano, Ismael Miranda, Luisito Carrión, Brenda K.

In 2008, N'Klabe began an international promotional tour, organizing presentations in Peru, Colombia and the United States. In Lima, they performed before a crowd 35,000.[4] In 2008, they played in Switzerland.[5] They've also participated at the Salsa National Day in Puerto Rico, and were part of the concert from the Fania All-Stars.[5]

In their album La Nueva Escuela, the group pays tribute to salsa veterans like Lalo Rodríguez, Jerry Rivera, Luis Enrique, Eddie Santiago, and others.[5]

Somewhere between 2008 and 2009, Ricky and Héctor left the group. In February 2009, Anthon Ibañez joined Felo. They then decided to choose their third member from the finalists of the sixth season of the show Objetivo Fama.[6] Eventually, they chose José Rubén Ruíz as their third member, and started to work on their next album.[7]
