PD: Maybe you heard the “Cumbia de los pomberitos” from the “Third World Orchestra”…He Collaborates in the soundclash…and maybe they did a live version once.

Nop…my brother´s in the soundclash army, and I don´t know where you listened a Dick el demasiado Song man…Just tell me what track and I’ll tell you where it comes from…you heard it on the myspace? …they´ve played in the same festival as Dick (NIU 3) but not a dick track…they’re not fans of el demasiado…and also…If you want to show real argentinian culture, Dick el demasiado is far away from that….pablo lescano is the shit rite now! Cheers.

the problem with Argentina (my country) is that it’s very “centralista”. I mean that all things known are just from Buenos Aires…we have a famous quote here that says: “God Is Everywhere, but has his offices in Buenos Aires”..and sadly that happens with everything, not just the cultural issues.
There´s a lot of good bands from other parts from the country that don’t get the media coverage or attention they deserve just because they´re not or they don´t live in Capital…and about Dick El demasiado, I saw him live, and it´s funny…but he get that status just beacuse he is from Holland…I bet that if he was an argentinian, maybe he would still payin’ his dues…Good Luck in Syria…my mother in law is from that country!

PD: And If you wanna try some real Argentina Cumbia go for “Los Palmeras” “Koli Arce y el quinteto imperial” “Antonio Rios” or the real “cumbia villera” (slum’s cumbia), Pibes Chorros, Damas Gratis (or Pablo Lescano, the producer)…they are consider the real marginal music, and has been compared with the hip hop in his origins.
Also, from Córdoba theres a reggae/dub jam band called “The Soundclash Army”…they never rehearse…they just met the nights of the shows and play some jams for fun.

ha Matt,

try to find some songs of Dick el Demasiado. He’s a sort of cult hero in Argentina as he makes quirky songs on bouncy cumbia rhythms that make people somehow go wild. He’s actually Dutch and still lives in Eindhoven, so it’s even funnier that his ‘relocated’ music is only well known over there and in no other country, not even here in Holland.
