English term or phrase: We have the groove from the street
“We perform like Rock stars,” explains Damien, 24, the younger sibling by two years. ”We call it Urban because it’s that Hip-Hop feel; * we have the groove from the street.* It has a heavy Classical undertone. The perfect marriage, we call it Urban Rock.”

capturamos/captamos el sentimiento de la calle


Explanation:
otra propuesta, y es que lo que más me gustaría (y no me atrevo a proponer como respuesta) son otros anglicismos: el "feeling" de la calle o el "swing" de la calle. Es un término muy jazzístico
